I think you're right. The word "sedan" in Japanese is probably equivalent to "passenger car" in the US. Anyone fluent in Japanese can chime in?

I think he sounds pretty legit as far as the way he speaks and the product knowledge he possess go, but I also question how he is allowed to post those pieces of confidential information freely on the forum. I thought Toyota/Lexus is good at keeping their employees' mouths shut.

At this point, like the NSX, I'll wait to I see the damn car in the showroom.

Toyota, I will say, it better be ALL ***** OUT, and whoop as much **** as the Mark IV did over 10 years ago.

I'm not sure I agree. The RX-7, Nissan 300ZX, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and Toyota MR2 all had single or twin-turbo versions, were dropped from the American market, and all of them came back in new forms without turbos. It certainly is possible for the Supra to do so.

I'm not trying to sound negative, guys....just realistic.

that is true but as someone stated earlier, the supra was able to compete with the big v8's and other great cars like those... now i'm not bashing on the eclipse or 350z, since i own a 2g eclipse, but the supra's great name may become tainted by not coming turbo'd from the factory.
