Alright man, I know you're probably so hyped about a Supra and all. Regardless if there is one, there will be more parts for the IS350 because it's already a very popular car.
Now, with the Supra. You're just beating a dead horse with this one. It's been talked about over and over again. It's just not going to happen. Why? Because why would Toyota make a car like the Supra when only a very, and I mean VERY, small segment of the market will buy it? I'm not sure if you realize, but to R&D a supercar, costs a lot of money. Also with standards set by today's supercars, it's probably even harder. Now more economics. Why in the world will Toyota, doing so amazingly well with its economical line-up, produce a car like a Supra, under the Toyota name?
I'm not sure if you realize, but Toyota is making more fast sedans than they are anything, and Lexus is probably where Toyota is going to focus their R&D on powerful engines. Hell, they even took out the Celica recently and I think even their 2ZZ-GE was taken out of the line-up.
Sadly, as much as I would love to see the Supra again, it just doesn't make sense for them to happen.
And that article... and those photochops, I have seen them for years now...

Why would Toyota produce a car like the Supra, I will give you one very good reason, because they are getting thier *** kicked in Japan by the 350Z (or Fairlady Z, as it is called there). Nissan is selling the ***** out of them in Japan and Toyota has nothing to complete with them. So if they can build the Supra and make it better and faster, and in the same price range, they will build it. Toyota is not stupid and they see how much money thier losing not having a decent sports car.
