I love that GTR. I hate that IS300 on the next page though...what is up with the vertical headlight stretching...this is a trend that must die.

Also the one on the GTR is probably Twin Turbo. Its code is VQ35DETT (the 2 TTs at the end usually denote that).

That GT-R is hot! Oh yeah, I also made out that the GT-R is 4wd, but I guess that is nothing new.

The yellow Toyota sport car looks too conventional from the picture, not unique enough. The GTR looks way better than the concept one shown before. The WRX Sti shown on the third page is different from the ones revealed a few days before, how come?

The Jap mag issue was dated 5-20-2002, their WRX was a spy/educated guess of what the future WRX looks like. I say they came very close.

As for the Supra & GTR, those are the magazine spy/educated guess also.

That car (the "Supra") looks a lot like the drawings of the 4000GT that I've seen talked about in Motor Trend before.

that GTR looks hella sweet, rumored 400 hp 3.5 V6 (turbo) and the consensus seems to be around 50k price.

that "supra" looks alright, i can see some styling ques from the 2nd gen sup but it seems a lil more tame looking, yellow is probably not its best color tho.

either way i'd love to take a look at either.

ƒX[ƒvƒ‰ which ends production in July of this year. This time information of that succession model was caught. As for the succession model of the ƒX[ƒvƒ‰ appearing, August of next year which is 1 year later from end of the current model. The car name does not understand yet. Simply, descent it does not do the name of the ƒX[ƒvƒ‰, it is secure. Most those where we would like to observe are the engine by this ƒX[ƒvƒ‰ succession car. As for Toyota in the future, the engine above 2500cc class, they are not the serial 6 cylinders, to all V type 6 cylinders it converts. Also the new model surf which fall this year plans appearance & the engine which is loaded onto Prado system it is new V type, later, it is the direction which consecutively keeps adopting in the new model. Toyota the aerodynamic volume displacement variation of this new V type engine, thinks of the full line-up, 2500cc, the 3000cc, the 3500cc and the 4000cc, in the ƒX[ƒvƒ‰ the schedule where the among these the 3500cc is loaded. By the way the new model ƒAƒ‹ƒeƒbƒcƒ@ calls the 2500cc and the new model aristo the 3500cc&4000cc is loaded onto the 4000cc, new model surf & Prado. Looking at these, as understood, after this year, Toyota means to start to the shield putting V6 for the FR. Feature of these V type engines must be compact. Bring is in the pure sport system which dislikes front heavy. Well, as for the ƒX[ƒvƒ‰ succession car how doing the 3500cc V6 engine, as a sport unit the ƒ`ƒ…[ƒ“ doing? That is the adoption of the VVTL-i which mixes variable lift mechanism to variable valve timing. This new model sport model, the ƒX[ƒvƒ‰ way is not pure sport, it is made with the ƒeƒCƒXƒg, luxury GT coupe. Depending, being able to meet, it does not use the turbo, aims for world standard with the large aerodynamic volume displacement NA. Even then peak power can expect 300 horsepower over sufficiently. Becoming the problem effect of the self-restriction framework 280 horsepower which depends on domestic specification. On one hand, becoming same as the ƒX[ƒvƒ‰ succession car matter of concern, existence of the new model GT-R which becomes the ƒKƒ`ƒ“ƒRƒ‰ƒCƒoƒ‹. Either the GT-R of debut schedule without being defeated in January of 2004, the new model 3500cc V6 engine is loaded. However, as for this way twin turbo specification. This way after all pure super sport, with the unit which considers also race/lace in the Bali Bali can expect 350 horsepower over with room. We would like to expect to also the evolution type ƒAƒe[ƒT 4WD which includes new mechanism. Because other than this ƒX[ƒvƒ‰ succession model, the super car class new model, 4500GT which becomes the image leader car there is Toyota, you cannot separate the eye. In any case keyword is the " new V type engine ".

the gt-r looks...well, different from the previous old-looking gt-r's (that's a good thing). don't know what the hype was(is) about their styling. i give it props for the performance aspects, not their looks. same with the wrx. the supra doesn't look like a toyota or supra at all. imo, it looks like an S2000 raped the new mazda. nevertheless, should turn out to be pretty hot cars

WIll the GT-R use the 3.5 liter turbo or the 4.5 liter V-8?
Will the Supra use the 4.3 liter V-8 or the new 3.3 liter with a possible turbo?

I'd buy the GT-R TOMORROW if we had that..

Actually, if you really want one, you can buy the current version of the Skyline GT-R in North America ...And remember, Infiniti's G35 does not count!

Indeed, but a GT-R is what 50-55k in Japan and a new one here is 90-95k, no thanks (through Motorex).

I actually am a R33 lover, though I would buy a R34.
