Four, a slightly lower price tag VS the Lexus IS/RC.

Yes and the MKI and the MKII were based off the Celica of the time. Toyota's really big on looking to their past for inspiration and direction right now. There is nothing preventing them from basing the MKV on the GT86 platform. I don't know why everyone hears Supra and assumes that it has to be a MKIV type vehicle which in many peoples opinion was an aberration and strayed far from the original direction of the Celica-Supra line of vehicles.

Despite the marketing hype about the FT-86 being a Hachiroku throwback, it's really a RWD Celica reboot and bringing out a higher performance more luxurious variant with slightly different body styling would totally be in-line with what Toyota has done historically with their sportscars.

Dang, that's some fat rubber.

wishful thinking from everyone but toyota already said 2014-15 for a new supra that IS going to be made so the doubt of if can be put to rest just look on the net there's some pretty good evidence there developing it. No way it will be anywhere near price of the twins are so forget that thinking as well. As was stated before if this car is priced anywhere near the twins or turbo version of the car if it happens, it would kill the fr-s/brz you dont offer your legendary sports car in the same price lineup as your entry level sports car. Look for under 100k but not much less competing with the gt-r, branded a toyota. I hope they learned there lesson of branding one a lexus and making it stupid expensive.

[OOOO] SCION Supra [OOOO]

WingsofWar · 12-29-2012, 06:46 PM

id say GRMN is more like Nismo or Mugen
RE-A is more like ABflug with Performance and Track Goals.

anyway...another interpretation

rear, decided not to finish it just to get a clear image of what the tails look like on the body based on teaser images.

ThaBigUnit · 12-29-2012, 09:38 PM

No way on God's great earth will it be a Scion Supra. Since Supra means "above" in Latin, I would expect it to be a Lexus. That would be a serious downgrade it went the Scion route.

This Gazoo FR concept pics are ehh to me and don't put me on the edge of my seat like how the original Gazoo FT86 concept did in '10.

How would it be a downgrade badged as a Scion? Its still Toyota, thats like saying the FR-S is downgraded because its Scion. Ill take Scion any day of the week if its the same as its Japan Toyota counterpart, Pure price alone makes it worth it.

So when they release the new Supra and it does not look like the old Supra will you be disappointed?
