Oh and if Toyota actually named the car S-FR I wouldn't be surprised if they actually lose some sales because of it and not calling it the Supra name that everyone wants and expects.

Maybe this?Toyota better bring a sub-86 considering Honda is supposedly thinking of bringing the small S660 roadster to the US now. Toyota would need something to compete with it. http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/2017-honda-s1000-news-rumors-performance/
http://www.worldcarfans.com/115082198050/toyota-fr-concept-reportedly-headed-to-tokyoCould preview a production model
Toyota will reportedly unveil a new FR concept at the Tokyo Motor Show.
According to Motoring, the concept will preview a sporty coupe which will slot below the Toyota 86. Little else is known about the car but it will reportedly be a front-engine, rear-wheel drive vehicle that weighs less than 980 kg (2,160 lbs).
The car is reportedly being developed with the assistance of four-time World Rally Championship winner Tommi Makinen and is rumored to use a naturally-aspirated 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that develops approximately 130 PS (128 bhp / 96 kW).
If everything pans out, the model will go on sale in early 2017.
Hope we see a teaser or two in the meantime for any Toyota concepts they're gonna debut. Show is still 2 months away...Can't wait. If the rumors are true this is going to be an awesome Tokyo show. Hoping an official Supra concept drops alongside this sub 86 concept. Also maybe some Nissan Z related news I read.
In Europe, other than true JDM fans, nobody knows what the Supra is. All they know is VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche.Awesome news. We're getting closer
Anyone know if the Supra developed the same reputation in Europe as in North America?
Same for the GT-R? Shame if true. They would be missing out on sports car legends.In Europe, other than true JDM fans, nobody knows what the Supra is. All they know is VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche.
