Price pending. Australia generally get royally screwed for cars, but Toyota Au did an awesome job with the 86, so hopefully they pull through for the A90.

I've been pestering my contact at Toyota HQ for the opportunity to put a deposit down, will see.

I would have the sell the C63 to fund it, and it'd have to a pretty special car to replace that. At 450hp, it's far more psychotic than my ~580hp A80 lol

That said, having an A40, A60, A70, A80 and A90 would be ace

He made it sound like that was just for the US.

I think that is for the US actually, so maybe they will produce 25-30k per year globally (I doubt it but anyways)

You weren't kidding when you said "lots" for cars lol. Your inventory is legit goals.

If the A90 comes close to A60 sales,that's a major W already

Oh my god can I have one LOL! I have a huge soft spot for the 1JZ and especially the 1JZ-GTE. It has so much character and it sounds so damn good. What's also interesting that it's the only stock Toyota engine to do a lot of STU STU STU STU STU STUUUU once you aggressively rev to 5k RPM. Not saying the 2JZ doesn't do it either, but compared to the 1J, it's almost non-existent. It has it's own beautiful and unique personality that it sits so deep within my heart. I would love to 1J swap a car though it's probably expensive as heck. It sounds absolutely spectacular in stock form. I love and respect the Avalon, but the fact that it replaced the Mark II breaks my heart a little. Why couldn't they have both? Or maybe it should make a comeback now? THEN THE ES CAN BE A RWD PLATFORM. PUSHING THE GS UPMARKET BASED OFF THE CROWN.

Here's a video of a Mark II from @garyu2001 with a 1JZ-GTE. Try not to tear up from it's beautiful sound. This video is a good summation of the JDM car industry and the aftermarket. I like the Gran-Turismo style music in the beginning.

This was just taken outside of Magna Steyr.

Does this mean that full production is finally starting?

These were shared on the FB Supra page and many noticed the panel gap where the clamshell and the front bumper meet by front tire. The red one has the same thing too. I wonder if they are going to fix that?

Has any crash testing been done on the new Supra? I haven't seen or heard anything on that. I'd like for it to have awesome crash ratings. Safety is important these days since people don't pay attention on the road anymore.

I'd be shocked if that wasn't corrected for production models.

It is a BMW and a Toyota. I am certain it will be 5 star. And it has all the active safety stuff, too.
