I could live with the Celica name, if it meant an NA 300 hp H6 (50% more power and cylinders) Celica Supra with a bit of re-styling in the very near future.

Also if it is heavier than my desired 2420 lbs (GT5 weight +10%).

If it's in the 2700 lbs range, I feel it will have missed the lightweight target, and the attachment to the AE86 will not really be that strong. So add another 100-200 lbs to that with the H6 and a bit of a stretch front ways to keep the weight centralized, and bang, Celica Supra. Turbo the next model to 450 hp, keep the weight under 3000lbs, voila Supra's back and eating GT-Rs like nothing.

Dreams...
