made by a fan

I think that supra render looks pretty cool, it would never pass for a real car but that shouldn't matter.

I love fan made designs, like my sig. I think its because i appreciate most if not all art for what it is.

Don't all us Supra guys live our lives a quarter-mile at a time?

(You owe me a 10-second car for that...)

Heh.

That's cool

Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda "wants to see the next Supra tested in the near future." But the reality of his company's current circumstances means it's unlikely to happen.

During a discussion with U.S. journalists on Friday in Japan, Toyoda was asked about the possibility of building a car like a Supra that would appeal to enthusiasts. As such a huge company, Toyoda said, "even if one president says that we want to have a Supra again, the whole company is not going to be responding to that request."

Toyoda explained that he did much of his development as a driver behind the wheel of a Supra and has fond memories of flinging that model around the Nürburgring. Speaking through an interpreter, Toyoda told the group that "would like to create a car that is better than the Supra, and just for your information, I am not against this idea."

However, this discussion came against the backdrop of a week where Toyota officials acknowledged that the company had grown too quickly in the past decade and would need slow down and re-prioritize. Between ensuring that upcoming models are trouble free, meeting new fuel and emissions requirement and delivering the FT-86 by 2013, a new Supra is likely to remain just a dream for the foreseeable future.

FT-86 in 2013 is hogwash. Or at least it better be hogwash.

Hmmm... Took Toyota 9 (NINE!) years from concept to production for the LFA. Hopefully they'll speed this one up. A lot.

FT-86 by 2013 is somewhat realistic.

ichitaka05 · 07-10-2010, 03:52 PM

For FT86 by 2013 is writer's statement and not CEO Toyoda's statement. Where's the quotation on the last paragraph?
