maybe in 2015. They say they have room for a big brother and a little brother to the 86, wonder what the lil' bro could be?

If the 86 is a huge hit, then this will happen quicker.

A new supra likely but as stated wont be called supra.

I hope if they do make it, I hope they keep it as aggressive looking as the prototype. You never know it might be worth trading the GTS86 for it....maybe.. Then again with just a little more power with a few mods already in the works....The 86 still might be a better car!

A little brother will need to be a kei sized car....

The little brother could be a really cheap, high mpg, rear wheel drive car. Think about a RWD Yaris 3 door or RWD IQ with around 95-125 hp.

To 86 or not to 86, That is the question

While I wouldn't place money on it, it would make sense to me for the "little brother" to be the much rumored convertible as a 2 seater. Shave a couple of inches off of it, retain the basic look and feel, etc. Wouldn't be my cup of tea, but it'd be a nice car!

If they do the big brother, it's going to be hard for me not to buy one of those!

As long as it takes, but i always keep in mind, my current car loses its value by year and KMs. New car would be nice since my current car is 2nd hand. =P I have always wanted a rwd coupe

Me either, but i am sure after three more attempts it will be very different.

I'd rock it, though the concept drawing will change 10 times before an actual prototype is made.
