So now it's two debuts, and both are Toyota brand models? Hmmm, what could they be then?

My only guess right now is that one of them might be the next-gen LandCruiser, debuting with lots of aftermarket off-road parts.

Other than that, it's all speculation really. The new Corolla might be there, but it's doubtful. The rumoured Toyota Sports Car could be shown there, but that's wishful thinking.

My two guesses:

1) Corolla

2) RX350/460

I doubt that the Land Cruiser will make an appearance. I think it may be discontinued under the Toyota badge (but it will live on as the Lexus LX570).

I also doubt that the LF-A will be introduced as a production model in SEMA. They may save that for the Tokyo Auto Show to show their Japanese pride.

There is still a possibility that the international version of the Corolla will be different than the American version.

Until it is revealed, we won't know...

Could be a hot Tundra, like the F-150 Lightning or Harley Davidson edition has been.

Could be a new Solara. The current one is ancient.

I think the Celica would collide too much with the Scion tC so I don't suppose that makes much sense. Although I would rock an AWD tC to the grave. All-Trac.
I've got the perfect name for it too, xtC. Toyota do it and you have a buyer, now. Like seriously I would go out and buy it now.

The Street Concepts S/C Tundra was already unveiled last year at SEMA.

As for a new Solara, they will be discontinuing that model in the very near future so very unlikely.

Seriously how many people would consider a vehicle like the xtC? Say no more than 18k fully loaded? I would buy one up.

Nothing yet. But Lexus' focus on SEMA this year will be on performance. The performance theme will start off at Toyotafest 2007 this year in Long Beach.

it is still corolla - it would be "world" debut... and US Corolla will be like European...

so it has to be something that hasnt been shown before... whatever it is.
