Toyota knows who they are, they can't sell a car that isn't a buster at 70k+, it wouldn't look right.

Still think it be high 50's-60's.

They put a shit load of R&D in the MK4 as well...it wasn't some recycled chassis and suspension.
But the Mk1 and 2 were stretched Celicas with bigger motors. More Fairlady than GTR. I'm not old enough to remember how they were priced, though.

But Mk3 and 4 targeted the Vettes and GTRs of their time.

So which philosophy will they go with? The 86 project was a 'back to their roots', so it's possible they do that with the Supra. Stretched 86 chassis with 6 cylinder, Z competitor?
