My guess is the Euro market will get the I4 Turbo/hybrid and the bigger I6 Turbo but no V6 due to the higher power and probably higher gas mileage. It will probably compete directly to the Mustang over there as many would go I6 turbo Supra vs a I4 Turbo Mustang.

For the States they will ditch the I6 option and do a V6 twin turbo from Lexus but keep the I4 Turbo hybrid? I guess this follows the LC500 power and hybrid options philosophy they have going on. This is assuming what Dave is saying is 100% true.
