Ive never heard of this from anywhere else. And going on what TRDliquidsilver said about the designers' obsession with lightness(10 different AC compressor designs, LFA had less than half of that).
If this is true, it'll be groundbreaking.

If this was the inside info I would think Hachiroku and ichitaka05 would have heard something similar by now, not to mention the autowebsites/blogs. Quote:
I assume this is more legit. |

I talked to a friend that works at the Yota dealership I used to work at and he said the car was going to be the next supra and priced like high $30's....
TL;DR: We know more about this car than the dealerships. Not that anything he said was bad at all....cept the waiting part. |

I have few nice friends that tells/show me early info/pics... but as of right now, I haven't heard the weight info/rumor. Toyota have been extremely tight mouth on the weight & power as you can see from pass yrs. Only weight & power numbers we have actually seen is in GT5 and that's pretty much it... but that's MkI ver and not MkII or MkIII, so as of now, we have no clue exact numbers. While at it, I'll give you guys some teaser news. News for US ppl (sorry other part of the world). I can't fully say it yet, BUT stay tune to SCION website and you might see some interesting info. I, myself have no clue "WHEN". Sorry, can't give out anymore info than this. Wish I could, but that'll break the trust of my friends (some are really close connection to SCION & Toyota)... so give me a break there. |

Every person at the dealer here that I ask says "What new sports car?"
One of them was so stupid he started telling me about the new Camry SE thinking that was what I was asking...

^Sorry, some stuff I just can't say.
Also Hachi is always head of thing and when it's able for me to spill the info, he's already made a thread about it. |
