My idea, Toyota makes it good if it has over 200 hp or more and brings back an old name. If they make it hybrid and has some crappy 130hp it will die quickly because Americans just hate hybrids unless your some tree hippie and in that case you already have a hybrid called the Prius that toyota makes
I like the FR-S idea, but only "Supra" would really raise some eyebrows (even though this concept is less powerful). Celica would help too, but I think it deserves a more flamboyant name.
