heard bad news at my work...

heard bad news at my work...

as you all know(hopefully lol...) i work at a toyota dealership...

i heard that the plans for re-launching the supra is down the drain again... its not gonna happen...

is that true?

I don't want the Supra to come back. What Toyota needs is a new sports car with a new name. The Supra must stay a legend.

they never had plans to bring back the supra.. they were going to launch a lexus supercar and everybody was compairing it to the supra... that died like last year some time...

Toyota is so gay they have sweet designs in the work and money to play with. They have no reason not to put the supra back out there. If not make a fucking fast car for once toyota....omg this really pisses me off.

I wish Toyota had a REAL sports car with a V8...

I wish for a MR2 (or equivalent) in 5 years when I would be able to afford one of those babies

I wish Toyota would make an affordable sporty car with a Turbocharged 4 cylinder, with AWD as an option... they could build them 15 years ago, imagine now...

*thinks of a japanese sports car with a V8* enighten me....

There are no V8 Japanese sports cars... what he meant was that Toyota should build a real sports car, and build it with a V8 (since most real sports cars have V8s)...

for some reason i dont see that coming... ever since sportscars (v8's) were out in the market they had a choice on making one... i bet they have their reasons...

Actually, it is coming, except it will have a Lexus badge

no no no Toyota shouldn't bring a v8 sportscars out lol, let's keep it F/I lol, the Supra should stay a legend.

You mean a Subaru?

Toyota is all about selling cheap cars to the masses. If you want a sports car from them you are better off buying from a different brand.

I gave up on them a long time ago, and even now looking at their lineup it just makes me yawn.

Now a turbo awd RAV4 would be sweet to compete with the RDX, but that will neer happen. Sad to see that Honda may be going turbo for their next lineup. Even sadder is the fact that you can get s civic with nav, but not a corolla. Go figure.

Toyota needs to come out with a new MR2 replacement that competes on the same level as the Lotus Elise

The V6 RAV4 is faster and gets better gas mileage... its a win-win

Yeah, I know, i'd love a WRX, especially with the new front end on them in a charcoal gray, mmmm...

Are you referring to Toyota? Or Kia?


On the topic of the Supra...I don't want to be a dream-smasher or anything, but anybody waiting for a new "Supra" should just stop holding your breath. It isn't going to happen. EVEN if it did, it'd be cheaper to go out and buy a Z06 Corvette, so you might as well just do that now.

If indeed it was coming out with a v8 powerplant forget about it

+1

+1.

The first production year of ANY vehicle no matter the type or manufacturer is subject to some problems.

But I think you guys who said yes missed the point. Let me extend Eric's statement a little bit.

If a Supra were to come out in 3 months for $35k, who here would actually buy one?

^^^ If it was AWD and turbo for 35K I would probably lease one, not buy it.

But I think if anything it would be around ~50K if not more.

I rather have something else for that price tag. And yes this is one of the strong reasons why Toyota is not coming out with a new Supra, no one would buy it. If it is going to be that expensive, it better have a Lexus badge on it, and then the essence of what makes the Supra a Supra would be lost. Hence my comment on how Toyota builds for the masses.

i would in a heartbeat! :grinyes:

yah leasing would be a good idea.... lease... use... throw away... then if you like it buy one =____=

I hate wen they remake cars that they stopped makin cause they try to make it look all "futuristic" and shit like that they funna mess up the way the supra looks if they make a new one. its the same thing they did with the MR2 they made that bubbly bug eyed thing thats as small as a Mini. Company's do that idk y like they messin up the Evo in 2008 same wit the new WRX which they are makin a "Hatchback" looks more like a ugly wagon. Idk they shouldn't try to make it sooo bubbly and stuff like that classic legends like the Supra should not be remade...thats my opinion

nice opinion.... for some reason they think smaller & cramper is good.... probably saving money on construction????

Id love one, but I really couldn't afford one for at least another 5 or 6 years

I sure as hell wouldn't buy one. I'll admit it. I would marvel at how cool they are and complain on here that I want one, blah blah, but really, I wouldn't be able to afford it. More than likely I wouldn't buy it if I could...

lets just say this for my next car im planing to get a subaru... but if toyota were to come out with the supra i would save for that car and buy it asap. Granted that will be in about 4 to 5 years.
