Damn, now I'm planning to sell mine as soon as I get it.

Sorry, I still don't believe Toyota to be doing a joint venture for their flagship car. Not a chance. If they are, then I will eat my own words and shake my fists vigorously.

I see people constantly loosing hope about this care because the Price could be $60,000+

are you guys not aware that the MKIV Supra costs around $50k in the 90's which in today's money, is about $70k

I mean, I see those prices and say, "Sounds about right."

this is basically the Japanese version of the corvette and thus should cost around corvette money. it's too be expected.

this is after all, Toyota's flagship car.

During the last year of US Supra importation they discounted them heavily to $38K. Back then there was little competition but that's changed for the better.

FR-S was rumored to be coming in <$20K but became >$25K, +25%.

Supra isn't Toyota's flagship. What people believe is not always inline with reality.

Right. It is and always will be Land Cruiser worldwide. It's the vehicle that put them on the map, is built to the highest standard in the flagship Tahara plant. The Toyoda family and Japan staff have a strong, revered attachment to L/C.

Wtf are you talking about?! Supra is, or was, their production top tier sports car. How skewed can you guys get!

LFA. Plus there will be a 'flagship' sports car slotted above the Supra so not sure how you are defining flagship when other products exist above it.

Almost all of Toyota's great stories have been joint ventures. Thank Yamaha for the 1J and 2J series. Toyobaru gave birth to the twins. Toyota and BMW sounds like a great win-win situation given both have very unique technology designs to offer each other.

It's not so subtle sarcasm.

the LF-A ended production almost two years ago.

Got any links to this claim?

Because there are no articles, or confirmation from Toyota at least from my searches.
