Yellow one def. has SLK in it, and the rear has the eclipse-esque taillights like zeroday posted..I like the look of this one:

Now only if it didn't have the shape of a chick car and more shape like the sketch, it would be nice.

So 5 liter V8 and 450PS and a 3.5 liter V6 with 350PS... Makes sense...

MaximaPower 02-20-2006 05:52 PM

#s look good...and that white one looks really nice..hopefully it'll come out soon

but i thought this was old news?

srika 02-20-2006 06:22 PM

omg... say it isn't so... some semblance of a good looking car!!!! esp the white pic. :) also like the look of the roadster.. :drool:

Moog-Type-S 02-20-2006 06:30 PM

Looks like a Toyota G35 coupe.

gocubsgo55 02-20-2006 06:33 PM

I actually believe these pictures, unlike all the other ones I've seen,

savage 02-20-2006 06:43 PM

about time something new comes out...

maybe they wanted to wait for the new IS to establish itself to some level against Infiniti and BMW, so now they can release something to compete with a G35 coupe that type or in that RWD coupe segment...

i bet a IS coupe will come out based on this new supra similar to how the g35 coupe is based on the 350z...

fsttyms1 02-20-2006 08:27 PM

Looks great

goldmemberer 02-21-2006 12:31 AM

Looks like it went down. Anyone have the foresight to imgshack the pics?

goldmemberer 02-21-2006 12:34 AM

Nevermind, it's back up. So here are some backup links if it goes down again:

I like it but I need to get a better feel for proportion since as it appears to me it has a little to much GT feel.

I still wonder if the Japanese will be able to sell cars at the price point the GT-r and this will be at. Sure there are tons of people that will lust after them (like the NSX) but has the import crowd obtained big enough wallets to cover the freight. The last Supras are legendary but they weren't a finacial success, thus the reason there was no 2005 Supra.

thus, reason for GTR as limited production....they're only expecting to sell 2k a yr of in the US

Get rid of some of the luxury to lighten it up a bit, and it might be a winner...

Dem1K 02-21-2006 05:07 PM

i think the S2k and G35 bumped uglies...

with a little Toyota twist ;)

:agree: I hope it looks a little more agressive than a G35. :wish:

cob3683 02-21-2006 05:16 PM

I like it. So Toyota and Infiniti can make a great looking coupe....Acura?

TL CHROMETIDE 02-21-2006 06:05 PM

It looks like it came from Honda, Nissan, and Toyota.

That's just what Toyota does, no?

goldmemberer 02-21-2006 07:09 PM

I hope to god that this is the Celica/MR2 replacement's high end version or the next gen SC cause a hardtop convertible, while slick, is just not gonna be as good to drive as a true coupe. Toyota can probably pull it off, but I don't understand why they would.

phile 02-21-2006 08:04 PM

Front is weak, no clear focal point, especially the Mazda-open grille/air dam + G35 bisecting lower air dams. Pick one and stick with it.

Rear is attractive, but in a generic way.

chungkopi 02-21-2006 09:02 PM

didn't g35 coupe/Z came out 4 years ago? if they are redesigning a brand spankin new supra, i expect it to look much better than a current g35/z. but that one is not.

TSX 'R' US 02-21-2006 09:05 PM

oh man... maybe I'll have another to choose from in the future...

The image first appeared in Japanese magazines several months ago, and is believed to be purely speculative. This month, Road and Track republished the image. But it's not the picture that's important — it's what R&T is reporting about the car. According to the report, Toyota's new 2-seater will "displace the Nissan 350Z as Japan's most popular sports car." The car is rumored to come with the choice of a 450 hp V8 or a 3.5-liter V6. Pricing will range from $40,000 to $50,000, so it's unclear how it will compete with the 350Z. It's also unclear how the Lexus LF-A will relate to this project. R&T says to expect a new Supra in October 2007.

heyitsme 03-03-2006 06:48 PM

Even if/when they do build it, I really doubt the new car will capture what people are really waiting for - turbo powers.

derrick 03-05-2006 05:48 PM

I think any rebirth of the Supra will underwhelm those in the Supra community. Numbers may sound good on paper but you're right ... 'tuners want to hear and feel of turbo power. But I doubt Toyota will build that out of the factory (due to its cost and we know Toyota only worries about how much profit they will make from it).

But the CGIs so far ... :thumbsup: If it weren't coming out so late (relative to my purchasing itinerary), this would definitely be on my list as a daily driver.

dayam! 40-50k :sad:

Interesting news about the NSX... :ponder:

Moog-Type-S 03-06-2006 09:26 PM

I hope that front grille is not final!

cob3683 03-07-2006 11:53 AM

Sounds good. Have to wait until the final specs/prices are released but Toyota will have a winner if they keep the Supra in that range for both models.

runnerX 03-07-2006 04:47 PM

Didn't the old supra TT cost only $40K? I never liked Toyota, but with this Supra I think they finally got me as a potential buyer.

it cost over $50k (at the highest) from 93-96. It was lowered to $40k for 97-98.

I have seen a $52k sticker on a '94 with my own eyes.

exactly...

same goes for:
NSX
RX7


I have been saying this for years... stop with the CGI 'concept' drawings... build it or shutup already.
