This shouldn't really be news or shock anyone? I always expected a modern day Supra to be about the price of a Corvette so it'd have been shocking if it was cheaper than a Vette.

Amen. Supra turbo in '98 cost about $40k which is equal to about $57k today.This shouldn't really be news or shock anyone? I always expected a modern day Supra to be about the price of a Corvette so it'd have been shocking if it was cheaper than a Vette.
I'll quote myself here in saying that this isn't newsThis shouldn't really be news or shock anyone? I always expected a modern day Supra to be about the price of a Corvette so it'd have been shocking if it was cheaper than a Vette.
The issue with keeping with a base 911 for less $ is that the Cayman GTS already does this for $11k cheaper than the 911. So you're talking about taking the Boxster/Cayman head on.Is there a reason every one thinks that the Supra will be in the 50-60k range? What if Toyota decides to go balls out and build a hybrid super sports car for $60-80k that could keep up with the 911, R8, NSX, GTR but for $20-30k less. Nothing Toyota said has ruled this out right.
Nooo hybrid please!Is there a reason every one thinks that the Supra will be in the 50-60k range? What if Toyota decides to go balls out and build a hybrid super sports car for $60-80k that could keep up with the 911, R8, NSX, GTR but for $20-30k less. Nothing Toyota said has ruled this out right.
I don't get this kind of mentality. Without even seeing the performance and efficiency specs how do you just say no to hybrid period. Guess what the 2 most impressive cars out recently are -- the hybrid Porsche 918 and Mclaren P1!Nooo hybrid please!
Fine idea if they can give it performance that matches this in-between pricing.Here's an idea. Just split the price difference between the Vette and GTR. No real sports car in this range and could be a cheaper alterantive to the GTR.
Going to need that reliability too with what's probably going to be a high compression turbo motor.I was thinking bout this more and even if it is priced higher than Corvette it'll still sell even if it just matches the performance. I know people that wouldn't buy a GM car no matter what and would pay a bit more for Toyota's reliability.
