Is this pic real or a photoshop? In this form it looks kind cool. I can see a 4 cylinder turbocharged engine midship of this car Kind of an MR-2 replacement.

Yeah, it's a 2+2 coupe.. but in convertible form, it's a two-seater as the roof covers the back seat as you can see.

Just don't fold it down while you have rear passengers.

Correction: Just don't fold it down while you have important rear passengers.

Default New Supra

So has anyone picked up the new Road & Track to see the concept for the new Supra now called the FT-HS? It looks amazing.

It does have a retractable roof. I don't know how much it will, but they say it will be affordable.

once again- it may just be because im an old-fasioned kinda guy- but i dont like how they keep making all these car look like there from outerspace - i understand but damn dont mess with a good thing- the MKIV was perfect- i would of bought one if it was upgraded, but not like a spaceship- but im sure im the only one- now if thats what it looks like in SCC they are gold- Motortorque.com hellz no
