Why I Think Everyone is Wrong About the MKV (Video)

[johnny_10196]

^Well you did make quite a few blank statements like how everyone only wants a MK4 just because of its powertrain and no other reason. I think everyone could have worded their post a little better. Anyways, everyone just needs to step away from the keyboard, take a deep breath, and relax already!

Yes, lets please drop it and move on already! Everyone is going to have different opinions. 4 pages of back and forth BS is enough!

VANOS gear and timing chain now on the back of the B58 motor!?!?!

I am hoping Toyota brands the car as a "Toyota 3000GT"

I wonder if Mitsubishi still holds the trademark to that name?

Yeah, I’m sure they do in the U.S., but I thought Toyota held that trademark for their TRD division for the Supra dubbed “TRD 3000GT.” It wasn’t a standalone model, but rather an “evolution” of the base model name Supra with every TRD part on it. So, it was the “Supra TRD 3000GT”...never actually sold in showrooms as a separate model. The Mitsubishi 3000GT was called the GTO in Japan. Someone correct me if im wrong.

The line from F&F, “2JZ no shit!” was scripted for a reason.

I think I'm going to change my avatar to this.

Don't change it....I like your current avatar of a 2JZ in something other than a Supra better.

Considering the fact that Nissan owns Mitsubishi now, getting it would not be easy

From a business competitor standpoint, i can see Nissan/Mitsubishi renewing the 3000GT trademark here in the states just to keep it away from Toyota. I would love to see a Toyota TRD 3000GT reborn. Who knows right? Things in auto industry are changing so much! I still think there will be a “GT” in the new halo car’s name (GT-1, 3000GT, etc...). To me, if it’s called anything but a Supra, I’ll buy it...or if it’s called a Supra, better be one CAPABLE SOB!

Worst case scenario 3000GT Cross

Saw this right now, wanted to share it with the forum

How does everyone feel about the FT-1 potentially having a straight six sitting slanted like the rest of the BMW's?

How will that do with the tuner scene considering the not-so-easy mounting of an aftermarket turbo on most BMW straight sixes?

Regardless of what engine or what ever they decide to name it tuners will go crazy with aftermarket support I guarantee it.
