Is BMW trolling here??? I see an M logo on the wheels

I disagree. I prefer Lexus interior and materials (recent Toyota's have come close to Lexus) > BMW. The infotainment system I can't argue there :p

Possibly. What if Nissan takes the same approach to partner up to build the next Z car with let's say Yamaha to help keep costs down? Yamaha brought out a Sports Ride concept car a few years ago. We've seen what Toyota and Yamaha did together in the past. It be nice to see Nissan take this...

^ I hope you're right. But then again why would Toyota allow spy photos of this interior unless they are wanting to add more stress to the list of things people are already pushing back on only to surprise everyone when the unveil it.

Yeah but word on the skreets is that Lexus did not want to share. So Toyota turned to one of Lexus competitors for help instead.

If this car makes some money for the shareholders, I don't think they're going to want to throw more money into development for its own inline 6 for a future Supra unless it will be shared with multiple vehicles including Lexus just because of 'reputation'. If this was the case they would have...

I picked myself up a white AP2 s2k a few months ago. I got tired of waiting for this car thinking it would be out by now.

^unfortunately, we may be on HOLD for some real news for a while. But I must admit I'm really curious to know what exactly is underneath the hood. Toyota has done a good job not allowing specifics to leak out besides the rumors which we know are one too many and the little info. that Tada has...

I think that's what a lot of us are worried about with the MKV Supra. The new NSX is a perfect example of that. Who really asked for a hybrid sports car set up besides the Honda team behind the project? The enthusiast were expecting something similar to the last NSX given it was badged an NSX...

Supra and Z4, please tell me the direction each is aiming for. "Mr. Tada: Toyota wants to make Supra a pure sports car, and BMW is thinking of making [the] Z4 a luxury sports car, each aiming for the best of each other." I do find it ironic that Toyota's version will be the 'pure sports car'...

I know its a render BUT I really really hope it looks a lot better than that

^ Car politics + budget. During the early stages of this project I thought we could see a new manual sequential gear box for this thing if Toyota wanted to move on from the traditional manual. They could've used it on this and on the upcoming LC-F as an option as well as any other Lexus F car or...

^ I agree. If it's a success great. If it's a miss they'll just discontinue it like they did before after a few years. I don't think the bean counters and some higher ups have a care for this car since it probably won't bring in much profit. This is more for the actual enthusiasts within the...

The article has good points. But in all honesty I don't think Tada is the issue. I really think if it was up to him, 2 transmission options would be offered like the 86. He may just be saying sarcastic comments when interviewed to get the manual followers to speak up to see if this helps push...

Why not? Chevy has done it with the Corvette. I think Toyota is capable of pulling something like this off especially since they are sharing costs with another car company. I'd understand if it was a fully built in house Toyota car and these new specs of 450HP+ were attached to a $70K+ price...

Fixed ;)

If this is the case then the partnership with BMW makes more sense and will be more accepting I believe. Although I think 405-425 HP range would be more realistic. Still it would make a competitive bargain compared to the Corvette. And yes could probably compete with the R35 although they may...

^^ "We think" being the key words. The Calty video that came out in 2016 showing possibly the Supra under covers said we would see the 'top secret' car next year being 2017 but nothing showed up. I'm feeling pretty good about late 2020 being the year I may actually see one on the road. By then...

So no production Supra (we kinda knew) and no GR Supra racing concept at the NYIAS either? I just don't get it Toyota. Maybe they want a break from all the negativity that's been floating around the car lately.

I would also assume most were probably thinking Inline 6 as in a new 3JZ for the new Supra...which I guess could still happen in some way maybe??? We'll know once Toyota finally blows off the lid on this car.
