What you are saying is that FT-1 will get a new drivetrain just for that one model. That doesn't make any sense. That isn't how the auto industry works.
I'll rather believe people on ClubLexus and SupraForums that have been right about Toyota in past over some newbie.

To help you along, cuz we seem to have a communication failure here. One or two said the Supra would be based on the RC, that this is like the SC being based on the mk4. See the inference/relationship in the grammar there? Hope so. I clearly pointed out to you how the logical relationship is future Supra > future SC, like the mk4 > old SC. No RC involved. That was the nature of my initial post about not buying the Supra if it was based on the RC. IF you have forgotten or chosen to have selective memory, please go back and reread the posts to freshen up please.
No I did not ever say the Supra would get a one off powertrain. Please kindly quote me that interpretation you've developed?
A BMW I-6 would be a common core engine in it's lineup just as it is with the 86 and the H4. That's the point going back to you saying the Supra is too special a nameplate to have another engine, yet the Hachiroku has done exactly that. I think the 86 is pretty special nameplate in Toyota history.
Also, a new I-6 for the Supra doesn't mean it wouldn't be used in any other Toyota. That's you jumping the shark and putting words in my moouth. Mercedes is ditching V6s in favor of going with inline 6's and I4s. I don't see why similar development couldn't happen at Toyota. I6s are making a comeback in the industry.
