No MKVI in a traditional sense. It will be a hybrid variant of some type. The release date is anyone’s guess…2035?

What oil will the Mk6 use?

I think the Mk7 is getting S58TU2.

Toyota needs something besides the GR86 imo. So… surely. I mean why not? The name is well liked. It’s not like Chevette, Aztec or some other bad image car that they hope you will never remember. This is one they don’t want you to forget.

With the end of the MK4 I saw prices soar over the years ,with the MK5 coming to an end im hoping prices at the very least stay strong, may not follow the MK4 growth chart But this seems to be the last "ICE" car, what do you guys think ?

More than likely we'll get a MKVI. The MKIV was a sales flop in the US and wasn't particularly popular outside of it, and that's why it took so long to get a MKV. The MKV was a sales success overall considering dealers are still managing to sell them at mark ups to this day.

Now whether it'll be any good is a coin toss at this point. If it's a 4-banger hybrid then that 4-cylinder engine they give it will need to be one of the absolute greatest performance 4-cyls of all time to make the car anything but a massive disappointment.

Or they could go the Honda route and turn their sports cars into sporty re-hashes of fugly sedans. Or, that Mazda inline 6 could become genuinely good and be put in the MKVI and we'll end up with another great car.

I'm not sure you can call the extremely low volume for the Supra a "success". Back in the days of MKIV, there were many great cars that competed against the Supra. Today not so much and the ones that are somewhat desirable are double the price of the Supra. So the markups that you are seeing, just a demand for a lower priced sports car.

It's a reasonable guess that there will be a MK6, but unlikely it will be a 3.0T and most likely some sort of hybrid, this means it will not be nice to tune. So the best way for it to be brought to market is to let the MK5 end production and have no Supra for some years, and once everything on the road is a 2 or 3cyl hybrid, then it would be ok to bring back.

I'm talking about success relative to expectations. The MKIV sold way worse than Toyota was predicting, while the MKV sold as expected if not better.

The market for sports cars in general is smaller as they continue to get more expensive, and people struggle to afford rent/mortgages let alone have the extra money for a second, less practical vehicle. Toyota targeted that smaller market and met expectations with the MKV, and that is why I call the MKV a success that should give Toyota the justification to make a MKVI.

I do, but if a new Rotary RX7 comes out at the same time I'll likely go that route instead. Then maybe give my A90 to my wife full time and sell our Tesla.

Part of the reason for the low sales numbers was the way it was priced. The turbo was a $60000 car back in 1999. Today a 2025 is about $65000 fully loaded.

If they were to make a MKVI, with the labor and tariff issues, should push the car to $90,000 and then it would have the same fate as the 1999
