There is zero chance they dump a major release elsewhere during the show without pissing off the publications and independent journalists who were given passes to attend the press junkets, and only stay for the day or two.

^^ Makes sense, but now they've pissed off a lot of people (like on the SupraMKV forum) who believed it would happen.

Oh, it sucks not seeing it in Tokyo. Seemed a fitting place. And all these spy shots and speculation aren't helping with the hype. But everything at the Toyota show, sans the Century, was about future tech and innovation. We can see why a conventional sports car with presumably a BMW engine and ZF torque converter doesn't fit in there. Also the major markets for the Supra will be the US and Europe. I know some people had argued Geneva or New York for the debut. Guess they were right

"As for the Supra, Tomoyama confirmed that Toyota wants the vehicle to have a straight-six layout and be “light and powerful.” Tomoyama said Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda—driving under his racing alter ego “Morizo”—has been active in testing the Supra at the Nürburgring and elsewhere. “We are focusing on rear tire traction and contact with the road,” Tomoyama said. “Cornering within smaller-diameter (tight) corners will be very important. The rear tires will need a little slip, and drivers need to know (the limit) of the slip.” As for how much the Supra will be similar to the BMW Z4, Tomoyama said that Toyota utilized “some” parts from BMW, “but the model we are developing will be completely different. We will not disappoint.” "As a benchmark, Tomoyama has brought his personal 1997 Supra, tuned to 600 hp, into the Toyota executive parking lot. The Supra makes so much noise compared to most executives’ cars that the parking attendant tried to throw him out of the lot, determining that Tomoyama was a youthful imposter. Now, Tomoyama said: “He bows very deeply to me.” |
