If they do show another concept I hope it will be the "10% less" version. Also something that is more production ready. Don't make a crazy rice out version that will not look much like the production car (aka FT-86 II).
4-5 years is not usual for a sport concept to reach production.
Corvette Stingray concept debut at Detroit in 2009. The C7 debut at Detroit in 2013.
The 5th gen Camaro concept was shown in Detroit in 2006. It did not go into production until March of 2009.
The Honda Sport Study Model concept...
No I don't think so. Only because it seems Toyota already has a lot of debuts. Below is the current list.
Toyota 86
Toyota Prius Special
Toyota Highlander F/L
Toyota C-HR Concept
Scion tC RS 10.0

I guess that could be possible. Historically the Supra and the Soarer (SC) have gone hand in hand. Some are viewing the new LC as a successor to the SC. So from that point of view; a new Supra underpinning the LC isn't too farfetch. I don't know, anything could be possible at this point.
Correct, Z4 sales are crappy. But the spy shots contradict the article.
Also as pointed out by many, Sato-san said "Supra" during the test drive of the LC at the 5:00 mark. So this has lend some too believe the new Supra will be LC base.
I really think so.
1. Because on page one of this thread, Sato-san said "Supra" during the test drive of the LC.
2. Toyota keeps denying a LFA successor.
3. Administrator latest article said the timeline has still not been finalized. But we already seen the Z testing.
4. Lexus has stated the...
I find this a little hard to believe. Especially because we have already seen the next BMW Z testing. If the article is true. Than this lends me to believe the BMW/Toyota project will not be the next Supra and Z5. Rather the new Supra will underpin the Lexus LC, and the Z will continue to be...
I was thinking of a mid-engine super car for Lexus. Something to fill the shoes left behind by the LFA.
Agreed, a new Supra should come in at the $50k-$60k price range IMO.
On a different note, the author's opinion of a new Supra underpinning the new LC isn't too crazy. Toyota did state that...
When I first head of the BMW/Toyota project I thought it was going to be a high end sports car. Like a mid-engine super car to take on Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and etc.
I think we can take Geneva off the list. That is where the Lexus LC500h will debut. I would think Toyota would want all eyes on that car. A new/updated concept or prototype would definitely steal the spotlight from Lexus' new flagship.
