2018 Toyota Supra

At least Toyota is letting us see something. We know a Supra is coming which is more than I can say for the Z35.

I don't care they make a hybrid as long as there's a powerful gas engine option. The 86 and supra are alive. That's great. 2 affordable coupes. Nissan could've been champions by bringing the Silvia or IDX to destroy the 86 and the Z as a supra killer. But Nissan is scared to make sports cars

Well, Toyota has been out of the big sports car seen for 15 years so yeah they are doing something, as for the supra being affordable, I doubt it. If it stays mid 50-60 k than yeah for its performance and tech its a killer sports car.

Not really, they've been out of the affordable sport scene in all due reality until the FRS.... But they have been part of many projects with lotus and now this project is with BMW.

The LFA, and the ISF were compelling vehicles to many though the LFA was seriously overpriced. Then can the FRS, the RC and RCF. Just because you haven't been able to afford anything substantial they produced didn't mean they were out. It means they were worthless too to poorer people. The frs despite its feeble engine still a sports car.

Now finally they are producing something in our price range and interest

I'm sure the supra will start low and end high.

I wouldn't knock the 86/BRZ. It may not have huge numbers when it comes to HP, but I rode in a BRZ for a track session, and in the curves the thing was amazing. The C6 Z06 behind us was able to catch up on the straights, but was hapless when the corners came up. Of course the driver was an instructor, so that is 90% of the difference there.

I am dying to see the final production Supra so I can start figuring out which custom wheels will look the best on it.

Put Prius tires on anything fairly light n RWD n you'll get the same result. There's no science to a toyobaru.... it's kool they exist but I'm not going to bed wondering if I have to race a brz tomorrow on a track. Lol.

Next!!!

For what it is, I do appreciate it a lot, and glad that it exists like you. Let's hope that Toyota isn't conservative when it comes to the Supra's engine options like they were with the BRZ/FRS.
