I'm "alright" with hybrid, sort of.

Not cool with AWD.

Not cool with CVT.

Not cool with that rear end.

Not cool with probable price tag.

Toyota Supra Successor Rumored on BMW 6 Series Chassis


It didn’t take long for rumors surrounding the future BMW-Toyota sports car to start flying.

While more details are trickling out about the exact details of the tie-up between the German and Japanese auto giants, easily the most exciting news surrounds the cooperation between the two automakers on a combined-effort sports car – especially after the success Toyota has in collaborating with Subaru on the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ.
Easily the most titillating news bite is that the model could be a successor to the Toyota Supra, based on the current BMW 6 Series chassis according to one source.
According to a senior manager at BMW, this cooperation will differ from the Toyota-Subaru plan in that both cars will retain their own character, a strong hint that they may look little alike. According to that BMW source the vehicle, “will be a sustainable sports car with environmentally friendly technology.”
There’s also speculation that the joint project could be a version of the BMW i8, which could lend its powertrain to the Lexus LF-LC concept

I don't know about you guys but that looks way uglier than the FT-HS. I wouldnt buy it even it had the best specs in the world.

If Toyota is really working on an AWD Supra, they are likely aiming it at the GT-R in all respects, including price.

I don't think I will ever buy another AWD sports car, myself. I have been tuning Audis for years, and I am done with the German car game as well as the AWD game....
