I still think of the 1982 Omni as a "modern" car!

Great Points and I agree , we all know that it's an infrastructure issue, that has a lot to do with the government and politics with the current government these improvements will probably be slow and alternative energy plans to help make plants more environmentally friendly so that hybrids could be more friendly is also in shackles. With New Tesla rolling out soon that are going 300+ miles, and Lexus Hybrids that are more fun and save you MPG. Tesla also now has solar city plans where you can fit your house with a solar panel and do quick charges in your own home. As Electric cars are being more accepted I'm sure your friends or other neighborhoods will also start having charging stations and have these solar panels. Essentially you could charge while you visit I believe 20 mins is a full charge anything less will still give you 50-100 miles. This is speaking of Tesla and maybe the BOLT of course the rest of the world is still alittle working on it, for example, Honda ev is only 80 miles atm, and Hyundai/VW is at about 124. Tesla 3 should hopefully do 200+. Lastly, I don't think people are planning 200-300+ miles road trips all the time. That's like me driving to NYC every day and back, or to SC or the Ohio. And with that on a regular outlet at your hotel lot, 8 hours will give you almost another 100 miles if you're in a place like NY or developed area you would have charging stations. That's getting ahead of myself though because Like you I think this works in Theory but maybe not in practice just yet. My argument is for what that Supra Hybrid could be, it could be amazing fun. Remember electric cars have no lag the motors gives instant torque. IF it's going to be anything like the LC, I8,or even have alittle bit of 918 or p1 in it, it's gonna be a hell of a car! when I was driving the LC hybrid I hit 75 in like 5.5 secs and it's got an amazing chassis. Granted the V8 could do it in 4.5 but still that's quite a feat!

We are basically saying the same thing with a different slant to it so its all good. I'm still more a proponent of fuel cells, but whatever works in the end I'm good with, as long as it works. Gas Autos were in this same place at one point, but at least then you could carry extra fuel with you if you really needed to.

Lol at the guy comparing the AutoArt LC model to that FT1 model. Not comparable at all since AutoArt models are highly detailed and are high priced.

I cannot see Toyota coming out with a car that would have the potential the MKIV had/has. I really am not sure who their target buyer and competitor is for this new Supra/FT-1/whatever. What car do you think they are aiming at? |

Much of the potential of the MK IV was in its robust and easily moddable engine, but that was designed in a different market environment. Modern engines (and cars) have more limitations in terms of emissions, safety, materials, and import regulations that they have to meet. In addition, the MKIV Supra historically did not sell well during its last years of production, so expecting Toyota to stick to many of the same elements that eventually made the MKIV popular AFTER they stopped production is just a recipe for disappointment. |

I clearly believe Toyota cannot make the same magnitude leap they made between the MKIII and the MKIV now. |
