Eh, $10 says the Supra will basically be a rebadged BMW or Mercedes. Expensive, no longer a "Toyota". Somewhere along the lines of a Corvette + in price. It will be too heavy and hyper loaded with gadgetry.
MR2...I don't see happening, but would be interesting. Either way, it will probably suck and be heavy. Every day, these companies are distancing themselves further and further from the classics they once produced. NSX is a perfect example of taking a very high performance car that was attainable, and turning it into an elite space shuttle like vehicle that costs as much as a Lamborghini.
FR-S is an outlier in recent history and will go down as a classic sports car 30yrs from now, like the S2000.
Day by day, I'm becoming more interested in cars with less gadgetry and more about performance and purity. That's what made me fall in love with the FR-S. Contemplating picking up a low mile supercharged Elise / Exige for 35-55K as a weekend sports car and call it good. Not the fastest, but who cares. Hella fun and it's something none of the car companies are doing.
