I highly doubt the production model will look exactly like that. That is a sketch. Like the article said we are gonna have to wait till the Tokyo Auto show to see the real deal.

At least they are making an effort to make it affordable!

I think they are trying to hard with that body style, it me it's not something that the average enthusiast can really relate to. But thats just my opinion.

I think taking the turbos out makes tuning for power a bit more difficult, but I think Toyota's heading in the right direction here. I agree with Vin that this car most likely wont be in production looking like that. Hey, remember the old Celica? Over priced and under powered? And then came out with the current Celica? I think Toyota is using the same idea... hopefully, lighter weight, not too much non sense in the interior, and a screaming VVTi-L engine. Maybe they'll be able to match Honda for power per liter. That would be hot!

Kinda reminds me of the new RX-8. I think most people will dislike it at first, but will grow on people as it appears more.

as far as the looks, those sketches never do the car justice, so i'll wait till i see the look that gets produced. losing the twin turbo though is a shame. call it something else and don't mess with the supra name

immediately following the release of the 350Z, which also doesn't come with a twin turbo setup, several companies came out with superchargers and turbo kits. if you're buying that car as a tuner, you're gonna mess with it anyway, why do you care that the "heart" of the car is gone?

It was the engine that made the car, that and drop dead gorgeous styling. I plan on getting one when I get out of college (that or maybe now the EVO 8), Even with the new one coming out I'd still take the 93-98 style anyday. Hopfully this release brings down the prices of current Supra TTs upon release of the new ones. Might make some of your lives a little easier

Dont kid yourselves it is only a concept, we all know that they wont look like that. I do think that it will look better when it is actually produced. I didn't like the concept RX-8, but the production model is bad *** i think, but without our turbo friend.
