  1. Death of ICE cars

    EV’s will be like the HarmonyOS of cars, the alternate option. ICE powered vehicles will always be the iOS/Android of cars. They will both exist simultaneously, and both have groups of buyers. That’s the beauty of America…free enterprise!
  2. Toyota teases five sports car line up? Supra MK6, Celica MK8, MR2 MK4, GR 86 MK3 and GR GT3

    I have alot of faith in alot of stuff, doesn't always mean it will happen....but most of the time it does, lol. Look, im not saying lighter and more performance means cheaper.....im saying more (quantity) materials in a product typically equates to more money for that product. For example, an...

    A 2025 CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus (loaded) is MSRP at $56k. That's a vehicle that will have more features, the turbo 3.3 straight six, comfort, etc... than a new Supra. Again, MSRP at $56k. You're saying Toyota/Mazda cannot build a lighter vehicle (less material - sports car platform)...
  4. Toyota teases five sports car line up? Supra MK6, Celica MK8, MR2 MK4, GR 86 MK3 and GR GT3

    That's exactly why I know a $100k Supra is not coming anytime soon. With that said, I don't think it will be a cheap Supra....it will be priced more than the outgoing A90. I know Corolla, Yaris, and two future Toyota/Lexus vehicles will be assembled in Motomachi....what those other two are, no...

    All I know is that this is the PERFECT economical time to produce a sports car....in-house! GM has already started on the C9....designs are in progress in GM UK Division on the C9.
  6. Toyota teases five sports car line up? Supra MK6, Celica MK8, MR2 MK4, GR 86 MK3 and GR GT3

    There won't be a $100k Supra....at least not in the near future. The goal is lightweight, rigid, and decent power. Hybrid system will put a dent on the weight. BTW, Toyota is fully aware that "Supra" is synonymous with "Inline six".....that is their main selling point for the brand.

    Toyota is also ramping up carbon fiber production (as I’ve mentioned in the past). We now at least know it’s true, because the GR Corolla looks like is getting close to 50% carbon panels. I believe there a few other ā€œfutureā€ models getting carbon parts.
  8. What do you do for a living?

    Stocks and currency trading. Keep your 9-5 for benefits (health insurance, 401k, etc…) and trade stocks on the side. You also get the benefit of having income security for banks to give you money for other ventures.

    šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Let’s wait and see what the production version looks like shall we?
  10. Toyota GR GT3 Concept / Lexus LFR

    Not trying to sound like a MKIV fanboy, but it looks like a successor to the MKIV. So maybe what I was told a while was true afterall, that they are indeed taking queues from the MKIV??? Nonetheless, a badass whip!
  11. News, Updates, and Discussions on next-gen A100 Supra

    I’m not complaining about anything…not sure why you tagged my comment. My point was that for these cars (Supra, Z, etc…) to exist for ā€œusā€, much more expensive engineering efforts need to take place (GTR, LFA, etc…). I am not complaining about the multi-tiered financial class of people in...
  12. News, Updates, and Discussions on next-gen A100 Supra

    Think of the process of making these kinds of cars something like Robin Hood...."steal from rich to give to the poor." Not calling anyone poor, but you get the idea... The manufacturers sell these vehicles (i.e., LFA, LFR, etc...) to get "investors" aka rich people who buy them and fund the...
  13. Official C8 mid-engine Chevy Corvette thread

    Some reputable GM folks have had quite a bit to say about the potential repairs (level or work required) of the C8 ZR-1. This isn't off....based on what has been communicated on various social media outlets by the GM engineers, the ZR-1 has almost every component crammed underneath every inch...

    3.3\2=1.65 Which came first, the chicken or the egg? :hmm:
  15. News, Updates, and Discussions on next-gen A100 Supra

    So, remember I said there was heavy focus on weight and rigidity? I ā€œbelieveā€ they are focusing on chassis weight for a possible 4cyl variant (like the current A90), and the ā€œbig boyā€ heavier variant will come later hence the focus on chassis rigidity for that variant. Also, there should be...
  16. Toyota teases five sports car line up? Supra MK6, Celica MK8, MR2 MK4, GR 86 MK3 and GR GT3

    Yeah, that is the part I still don't have any information on. My guess is it is one of the "future" sports models that Akio presented a while back. Remember, there were two sports cars.....one looked like what could be the next "LFA" and the other I don't know what it was anticipated to...
  17. Toyota teases five sports car line up? Supra MK6, Celica MK8, MR2 MK4, GR 86 MK3 and GR GT3

    It’s tough for someone to leak this kind of info because it’s just not fair to the manufacturers. I am sure a few prominent YouTubers had been given detailed information about other models (like the GTD Mustang or ZR-1 Corvette) before launch, and only hinted at small details during its...
  18. Toyota GR GT3 Concept / Lexus LFR

    It's got that 99' Lexus SC vibe.
  19. Toyota teases five sports car line up? Supra MK6, Celica MK8, MR2 MK4, GR 86 MK3 and GR GT3

    The LC will be a good base because it has provisions for a hybrid setup and the front section of the car is long enough to accommodate an inline type engine. Plus, they have all the tooling in place to ramp up production quickly. However, like I said before, key focus is weight and...
