[Loco38SUP]

All the latest articles are saying it will use a 2.0, be AWD, make around 400hp+, and be here by 2030.

If I can get a Celica/MR2, I won't need a Supra!

The Celica should come quicker. Toyota already has already shown a prototype at a dealer meeting ealier this year. I'm hoping we seeing some camo test cars pretty soon.

The Celica should come quicker since it will be a front engine transverse engine design (one assumes with the GR-Four AWD system from the GR Yaris and GR Corolla). The Corolla and Yaris lines are both shifting significantly for their next generations and I wouldn't be surprised if the subframes of one or both get re-used with changes.

Same for the Supra MKVI since its platform is also going to be shared with the next Lexus coupe (in 2+2 layout for the Lexus). The LC500 is probably not going to stick around much longer.

I think the development for those cars may have gotten started sooner than the MR2's development did. Either that... or in combination with that... Toyota clearly wants to solve the issue of handling control at the absolute limit that the SW20 generation had (depending on the driver) which is why it is taking much longer to develop for production than we expect it normally should.

The next GR86... other than that they're doing it's hard to say exactly when since the current model and BRZ just got a 2027 model year.

...

What raised my eyebrow with the next gen MR2 is that two of these three articles emphasize it will use the 8-speed "Direct Shift" automatic AWD box found in the A/T GR Yaris, Corolla (and JDM LBX?). But carrying over the 6-speed manual AWD gearbox isn't mentioned. I hope that doesn't mean they will not offer it since this model is supposed to debut as a non-hybrid.

I've seen videos from Japan where they are saying the GR Celica will be a mid-engine BEHIND the driver.
