Given what we've heard about pricing on the 6 cylinder version, I expect the pricing on this to be in the mid to high 30's with higher end trims in the mid-40's.

It may be a internal company naming error, J29 for sure is the name of the supra.

Also the japan times in april published some rumors saying the next gen 86 will be 2021 and powered by the FA24. Also subaru and toyota relations were still strong.



This is definitely a lower tier supra using the B series bmw 4 cylinder.....
