Following that trend, a new Supra would need to be 450hp (not 350hp) at 3400lbs and could be priced at $65k+, but then again, the Supra was so overpriced that it wasn't selling, so again, this will be a niche market of buyers who decide to buy the overpriced Supra over its competitors.
We will see. If they are starting to take orders in October as reported then we should get a good idea of what the prices will be around that time. That is unless people are willing to order the cars without any idea of what the actual price will be.
