No that does not sound good, that actually sounds like the worst thing I've ever heard from ANYONE ANYWHERE.

Agreed, actually they should just make trd it's own sub brand like they are doing with the prius and have it be their sport/sporty cars. Stick the ft86 under it and a beefed up version to replace the supra and maybe one or two other cars.

Fixed it for you.

They will never make TRD an actual brand like Scion. Do you know why?

Because then they would have a lot of Regular Cars and Trucks. Then a different lot with the same damn Cars and Trucks on it, only with TRD branding. "Hello customer how are you? Oh, you want to look at a TRD Tacoma and a Regular Tacoma? Let me show the Regular then you can walk 50 Yards to see the TRD version."

It would be asinine. How do you market something like that? Yeah it's just like the Tacoma! But it's a whole different brand! Where would place something like the XRunner? It's a Tacoma, but not a TRD Version.

Scion's here to stay. Get used to it. If Toyota ever does a Supra again, it will be a Scion.

Now that would be asinine. It would cost 45k+ for a Supra today. Nobody is going to pay 40+k for a Scion for at least the next 10 years, if the brand is still around.

$200,000? I think it's more like 20,000. LOL

Scion's going to be the Pontiac of Toyota.

No I understand why TRD will never happen that way.

As is said above scion couldn't sell a car that expensive, the 86 is even a bit high for the price point the brand is suppose to be at. If there is ever a supra again it would be a lexus.

I'm doubtful that it'd be a Lexus, otherwise it'd fall under the F Sport Performance division and not be called a Supra at all. Nissan can carry the GT-R under its own badge rather than an Infiniti here in the States. I assume that Toyota could do the same if they were to resurrect the Supra name.

Wouldn't surprise me though...a premium high performance sports car sounds lexus bound.

While Infiniti has been more devoted to luxury for upper middle class consumers to carry a high end sports car like the GT-R.

Lexus has a larger and broader demographic for their line up. And even the MKIV supra would fit as a lexus if the car was released as a new car in todays economy and market trend.

n2oinferno · 06-29-2011, 12:23 AM

I'm not discounting Lexus making another premium high performance sports car. I just don't think they'd call it a Supra. It doesn't fall in line with their naming model.

You can just put the trucks together in the TRD lot. "Sir/ma'am would you like badass? Or regular?"

The world is going to explode when its called... the "Scion Supra." And the whole world of car enthusiests die of the American's retarded child 'Scion'. lol

It won't be called a Scion Supra. It'll launch an entire new brand, called Sciupra.
