By that logic only lower end models would get convertibles. It's not just about volume. Higher end sports cars tend to make a better case for convertibles due to the them being more expensive, the types of people buying them, and the types of cars that it works best for. I always figured Supra...

It would be more tunable tho. And a 4 would almost definitely be entry model so it's not really going after the other top end sports cars. That could easily be handled by a TT V6 trim.

This question may seem obvious to most enthusiasts if you've never driven a 4 cyl but they can actually be quite fun due to reduced weight and other factors. There's also the issue of price being the primary factor. So please weigh in on this... would you be interested in an entry level Supra...

I'm posting two different threads/polls since I'm curious if there will be a difference in answers here. First, do you think Toyota will actually use a 4 cylinder (whether hybrid or turbo) engine in the Supra? There are both business and technical reasons for it and certainly 4 bangers are no...

You fellas see this today? http://blog.caranddriver.com/lexus-confirms-production-version-of-stunning-lf-lc-sports-coupe/ I gotta think that this is somehow good for the production of the Supra since the company obviously aren't shying away from making an expensive sports coupe.

If it comes with some of that carbon fiber chassis that BMW's been putting in their i cars I'll gladly pay this amount as long as it doesn't blow past $60k. Seriously if it gets a full CF tub and some serious power this thing could be a rocket, with the looks to boot.

Sex! I'll take one in red!

Right I don't think the goal was ever to jointly develop a shared car, just a shared platform for its cost saving efficiences so that each co can build lower volume sports cars for cheaper.

It's a little confusing what the whole Toyota-BMW relationship is in this and what car or cars will be made by each company. From the reports and rumors out there it sounds like they're working jointly on a modular platform that can be used for sports car models and so far Toyota seems like...

Great news from Bloomberg!

Could this mean that Toyota will be using their own engine and only thing shared with BMW will be chassis? :yes:

Totally stunning. If the red concept was a 9.5, this is a 12.

Dang the concept version is bigger than I thought! It's got supercar proportions at least though. I don't mind the width since it looks so awesome but I hope it loses some length for production model.

It looks great but I was hoping for something they might translate to a 2nd FT-1 concept. That's way out there and no way we see any of that into a second concept which 1) I'm hoping exists and 2) hoping it is even more realistic for what they might build.

At the price point thats been hinted I don't know where the hybrid rumors are coming from. It's economically not possible at 50-60g's and who Toyota wants to market with the Supra.

This is what a lot of us are already expecting but just to add more to the pile of "proof" -according to this Nikkei Asian Review report the next Supra and next BMW Z4 will share platforms.

I know man. I was just pointing out what the concept car might have. :nixon:

Flap paddles on the FT-1 concept, so it's a DCT or auto.

That'll be changing! RC-F announced to be getting a manual. :thumbsup: http://www.worldcarfans.com/114061977003/toyota-motorsport-gmbh-boss-downplays-tmg-branded-models RC F and IS F to gain a "manual-shift gearbox" Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG) unveiled the Lexus LS Sports 650 concept a few...

Supra as the flagship, FRS/BRZ has the mid level and either a Celica or MR-2 revival.....all assuming they dont create a whole new nameplate.
