It is SIC!! Like the 350Z looked ugly in the mags, but looks awesome on the street, i'm sure the Supra will look good too. (i happen to like the Celica, as well!)

naw, you all got it wrong...Toyota should subcontract ab Flug and have them produce Supras with their s900 bodykit...maybe tweak the engine and interior, but keep the body looking like that...you know...

I like the older body better, but you know that Toyota's gotta make it all futuristic and ****...too bad they're gonna ruin a good thing (tho it'll sell anyways)...

Atleast they are bringing back the "import kings" of automotive. First the Z, now the with RX-7 and 8 and the Supra, I'm going to start crying with all the beautiful cars going around I miss my ZX!!!

With no twin turbo there will be a little damper in the all aspiring name Supra but I am glad they are comming out with another one, I really like the old style ones....

Wow. It certainly has the look of a modern sportscar, just change the front end a little.

Is Honda going to get into this sportscar fight?

I would prefer to have an engine N/A that can match a FI engine power for power. You can always then dump FI on that N/A and have yourself one mighty car. And I would take that supra over any old supra any day. period. interior will be 50x nicer, and the exterior is subjective, but I think comparable (I like the new one better though). And just cause its not a twin turbo its "defacing the supra"? I guess the SVT Cobra Mustang is "defacing" the mustang because mustangs are traditionally not supercharged. I suppose whenever you change hte engine of the car you should change the name entirely, for fear you'll be defacing it.

I think Toyota should stick close to the current image they have now.
From the way things are going, i'd say all cars of the future will look like the ones in the movie Minority Report.

im sure they won't. they already have the S2000 in the same price range, and the NSX in the high-end range

if they got rid of the sunfire grill it'd look pretty good. I'd wait to se the production model just like anyone else.

Wouldn't do much if they get rid of the twin turbo though. that was the soul to it all. IMO
