Cvt? I like everything but the cvt. My next z needs to have a dual clutch. I will never buy a car with cvt. Seriously, the supra rumor has been going on for at least 6 plus years. I don't believe rumors. I don't see this happening, ever

So it will be like the last Supra? Over priced and nobody will buy it? Good job Toyota thats the way to remember a car that was once affordable and quick.

I'd like to see this happen.... As a car lover I'd love for it to happen ... The Supra successor for less than 60k? Could attract more of a buyers market unlike the LFA . It'll be interesting to see how it unfolds... And ultimately put a stop to these rumors... Are they? Aren't they? Bull crap. Lol

I'm not sure what MT is on about... the most likely "Supra" to be built would be something based on the twincharged Gazoo FR-S, which makes power and torque to rival the Z, and would probably be priced similarly.
That would make a lot more sense than the car they are describing...

If the Supra name does come back? It will be a GT-R competitor. It seems like Toyota is too afraid to put out anything thqt competes against a broad selection of cars. Both the LFA and FRS compete in near empty markets in price and competition. Who would buy an LFA anyway?
I like the FRS in general but wouldn't put money into buying one. Its not worth it as a sports car. Not unless it comes with in-house turbo. And if I'm going to FI an NA. Its going to be a Z. At least the Z has Real torque feel to work with to make FI worth it. |

Would be awesome, but I think the hybrid is kind of lame. 1998 Supra Twin Turbo is still my all time favorite car. The Supra competed more with the Skyline, not the Z right? If so, this will be a GTR competitor.

That being said...unless the car is twin turbo it does not interest me. AWD is a change from the Supra history of being RWD but I'd accept even that. I was hoping for something along the lines of the GTR when it came to the Supra, hybrid? Nice to see it back but the 2JZGTE motor is so good it only needs minor updates. It would have been nice if they released a new Supra with a next-gen version of that VERY capable motor. Last thing is that the rumors of another Supra have been going on since 99 so I'm not holding my breath on this one.
