A big one what? YOU don't like Scion therefore Toyota will bow to your wishes?

FT-HS doesn't seem to be getting traction inside Toyota. So I doubt we'll see it. It's an interesting idea for sure. But getting all that technology to work together? And how often would people actually use it for Track Duty?

No I don't see anything like that for 15+ years. I think Hybrids will become much more ingrained before something like that comes out. Real Sporty Hybrids like what the CR-Z was trying to be will come out before that.

I truly think that if Toyota wants to come out with a Supra Replacement, they'll go with the tried and true approach of a straight 6, with less Technology. A bigger FT-86, perhaps slightly less nimble and track friendly, but with big numbers.

But, we'll see. It's also very likely we'll never see a true Supra Replacement.
