There's only a single red one and a single graphite one.

Good ole safety regulations.. frequently ruins great concept designs, especially front bumpers and side mirrors. :( This is why I'm dying to see a next concept version - one that's been designed together with engineers and not just by the design studio. If we get a concept that's had...

What about Frankfurt?

But that front end doesn't resemble the FT-1 front at all. Unless they decide to completely abandon the design altogether I would hope that it carries over more of the FT-1 front bumper than that. Please no Mirai tail lights! I think both head and tail lights are both hideous.

Side shoot comparison.

Maybe he didn't want to specifically mention it by the "Supra" name? A higher class of 86 sounds good to me though. That's a driver's car so if they keep all the fundamental philosophies (lightweight, low CoG, fun even at low speeds) but bump up each of its performance aspects while keeping...

Driver behavior is totally nuts in Asia. There's beeen cases where a driver will hit someone on accident, then make sure he reverses and runs over him again just to make sure he doesn't live to be a witness against the driver. :crazy:

Sports cars have taken a hit by rising insurance and gas costs for a long time. It'll take more than a year or a few years to reverse that. Plus all the damn hybrids and electric cars are what the kids these days grow up around.

Supposed to be for a long time to come, at least through 2015 I think. Another reason it's too bad the car wasn't out now - the US dollar is so strong currently. Would have made for a more affordable Supra for Americans.

The source site for the 4 cyl rumor is notorious for making news up. Same site that said a 4 door FR-S was coming. :doh:

If the Supra gets a 4 cyl then Toyoda should fire himself. But it won't happen, so no worries.

Lutz spoke and GM smartly listened. Industry needs more mavericks like Lutz. All car enthusiasts should be required to read Car Guys vs. Bean Counters. Great book by Lutz on the constant behind the scenes struggle between the numbers crunchers and the real car guys at auto companies.

Has anyone ever tried this game? Wish they did a better job with the interior :)

Lots of the turbo 6 cylinder BMW engines have also had reliability issues with fuel pumps going.
