I didn't see any topics on this issue already, so...

Your thoughts?

I'd love to see the return of the Supra, but i don't know about it being a $60,000 Hybrid car.

2015 sounds like a good year to trade in my BRZ

ahausheer · 06-09-2012, 08:04 PM

my thoughts are that it will look nothing like that and be out of my price range. I will enjoy following the development however.

I've pretty much given up hope on it's revival. It's been the same news every year since that concept came out.

Jordo! · 06-09-2012, 08:20 PM

That's the FT-HS...

I don't think is is a new rumor.

I feel exactly the same way. If it were non-hybrid, didn't look like the pic, and was maybe around $35-40,000 then i'd be seriously interested.

Oh hey it's the FT-HS.....from five years ago.

The Supra resurrection rumors never go away do they? It seems like every other year since 1998 there has been some serious talk/rumors/magazine covers/concepts regarding the Supra, but look, its 2012 and there is nothing in sight...

Earlier this month, Toyota applied to renew its long-expired trademark on the Supra name in the United States. Although the company is mostly mum on the subject, an easy-to-reach conclusion would suggest that Toyota could revive the historic badge for its upcoming FT-86 sports car.
Toyota apparently let the Supra trademark expire in 2006 and the automaker never bothered to renew one of its best-known nameplates until earlier this month. According to Car and Driver, Toyota filed an application to take ownership of the Supra name on July 16 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office.
The magazine did talk with Toyota communication VP Mike Michels, who said that the automaker registered the name “provisionally” in an effort to preserve ownership of the historic name. This is hardly uncommon among automakers who hold onto model name trademarks long after discontinuing a line, although Toyota’s decision certainly comes at a unique time.

^^^ well there is the twincharged prototype they were testing. That would certainly be worthy of a Supra badge.

I guess we will see how well hybrid sport cars do when the new NSX comes out...if the rumors of it being a hybrid is true.
