    Not a single one of us. This is predominately a Corolla forum, so I doubt any of us could afford it.

    Besides, Why buy it if you can buy a MKIV Supra that will look 10x better and outperform whatever they would throw in the new version anyway. Not to mention if it was in the $60K+ range most people with half a brain would go buy a ZO6.

    They have every reason not too. They are doing great financially. Their bread and butter high-volume cars are selling very well. Oh and lets not forget NO ONE is going to buy something thats $40,000 or more with the TOYOTA name on it.

    The MKIV Supra was a complete failure for Toyota from a sales standpoint, so why would they bring it back? We all think Supra's and think how ahead of their time they were, and how incredibly overengineered they were. What we forget is that they flat out did not sell. It doesn't matter how great a car is in the minds of a few hundred thousand automotive enthusiasts if its not considered great by the masses.

    It is funny though how many people nowadays really like the look of the MKIV's, and assume they are some high-end brand new Lexus. Most non-car people don't believe they are 8-13 years old.
