Um...I guess we need someone who can read Japanese to tell us what the cover says about the car to know if it's regarded as a Supra.

Not a bad design at all, just not one that should carry the name Supra.

I kinda like the design, but for some reason i keep gettin an idea that it's the new Eclipse but i know it couldn't be.

Cool...the powerplant sounds good enough to carry the Supra name despite the exterior.

mani (works for Toyota) over at Supra forums says:

Wow, this made it here sooner than I though it would. Firearms information is fairly correct. The car does exist and the GT version (V8) is in advanced development ( currently cold weather and hot weather testing). I'm not going to go into this much as I can't but let's just say that I have some miles on the GT version. You boys will NOT be disappointed!
Don't ask me any questions as I can't answer them (not that I don't want to but I can't)

so this is 98% for sure now??

i will break my heart if toyota is shi**ing with us.

since they are dropping celica and MR2 from the market, the whole toyota line up would be for mean age of 90+ buyers.

i m sure they have to do something to make the name toyota seems fast and sporty

I CANT WAIT!! I REALLY CANT!!!

screw IS, screw 350Z, screw C6, screw M3, screw S4,screw basically everycar on the road. supraowns them!

sorry i m real excited now

im trying to not get my hopes up because toyota has been denying the release of a new supra. they say that the sport market is too fickle... i would love to see a new supra... and i know that the release of the mkiv was not announced till about 3 months before it was released... it is a possibility that they are keeping it under wraps... but until it comes from the horses mouth, i dont think it'll happen. everyone has been hearing rumors for years.... but none have really come to past. i am hoping though... planning on getting an MKIV.... but i am planning on waiting to see if toyota releases a new supra and what it would look like/performance numbers. plus, i do think the value of the MKIV would drop a bit...would be an opportunity for me to go pick one up at a good price.
