lol, they're bound to get something right by the sheer amount of click bait articles they write. i really don't want to go pull all of the brz/gt86 speculation articles they wrote to get clicks.

LOL yeah I noticed that too. When I first read it, I thought that sounded a bit brash for Tada-san.

There's also http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/toyota-new-supra-coming-soon-20151029-gklq3j.html that came out today.

It seems that the Supra will be a Hybrid of some sort if that article is correct.

Nothing against Hybrids, but I personally won't drive a Hybrid until it's the only thing available.

Toyota FT-1

Latest issue of Autoweek states that Toyota will be releasing FT-1 ("Supra") next year! I've got to find a spare $100K+ somewhere....

Has toyota released this on their website? Or have come out saying that this will be officially released? you will soon find that many people on this forum take "rumors" and "news" with a grain of salt due to all the rumors our 86's get.

I also feel like theres a thread on this already as well.

I don't know about next year thing. Just came back from Toyota scion training. Rep did mention Toyota is focusing more on new models, also said frs is due for refresh next year model. If ft1 comes out next year, that would be awesome.
