Toyota are now working with BMW and the revived supra is likely to be a 6cylinder+electric performance hybrid.

And unless you've been asleep during all the hype about AIMS, i'd be looking at the LF-LC to likely be the new "supra"

In my head I see the new Supra being more of a competitor to a 370z or BMW 135i. So the price range for that I would guess to be around 70k.
If they make a turbo 86, the power they could get from that with its weight being so low will create one hell of a monster. 0-100 times in under 5 seconds etc etc. The new Supra will probably be similar, but yes as you said more luxurious.
I dont think I'd call the Lexus a Supra. That kinda looks as if its a GTR competitor.
