I HAVE ORDERED NEW TOYOTA EMBLEMS!!!!! I have enjoyed the look of confusion for many years but I'm removing the L and going back T.

What I would love to do is to work with Simon Humphries with Toyota/Lexus to design a retractable top for it. Wish I could get his attention with that kind of project.

Doesnt hurt to dream.

Your dream already exist, is call a SC430.

Your Supra is structurally ruined and is way slower then the V8 SC430, I don't see your point.

Back in 2002, my buddy wanted to sell me his 95 Supra TT auto for 12K, but I turned him down and bought a 92 SC400 ( my first Lexus ) for the same amount in stead!

Damn it worth like $30k today!

Who would have thought a Japanese car would appreciate in value!

Post #6 looks like a frickin 4th gen Camaro Convertible.

Just like the mkii MR2 convertible Toyota sold in Japan...some cars are just not meant to be convertibles. That poor, poor Supra.
