If the 4 cylinder version exist then I would not even be a little bit surprised if it was called..............Celica.

rvoll many of these things are quite old news/rumors from the past couple years, nothing really new here to get so riled up about. it only takes some lurking ^^ https://www.supramkv.com/forums/
there will still be a need for the GT86 especially in developing markets where shipping it from Japan will be much cheaper than sending a 4 cyl Supra from Austria.. Keep in mind, the 86 is quite expensive in Europe compared to the NA & Asia so I have a hunch the Supra will in turn be quite expensive in the Oceania/Asia markets... |

3,100 lbs for the 4-banger is probably pretty accurate, expect at least another 100 lbs for the extra liter of displacement. It's frankly a miracle they're NOT projecting a weight increase, only Chevy and Mazda have pulled off lightening their sporty cars with a new generation this decade as safety requirements get more and more intensive. |

And all speculation, of course, but I don't think it's not sound. At least until Motor Trend leaks an internal Toyota memo of the car dimensions that they got while having a meeting at Los Pollos Hermanos with an engineer who agreed to meet as long as they could stay anonymous.

I'm figuring he means more about size than it being a floaty, sloppy mess. Camaros have learned to become sports cars and not just muscle cars ever since they came back (been a fan of them and Firebirds about as long as I've been alive), but they are pretty massive. They've gone on a diet, thank goodness, but they're still around 3700lbs at the heaviest. That's not light, but 450hp helps with that, and the vehicle just isn't small in size. If you could make the SS weigh as much as the 4-cylinder model does, it would be that much better handling, but still have a pretty big footprint.

You could also easily cut holes in things to make vents and intakes. Does that mean every panel is just a vent waiting to be removed? |
