I think the 300Z TT was a competitor back in the day along with the VR-4 (which is the car I had prior to my Supra) Back then, the GTR was a step above the Supra and not really a competitor in that class.

That being said...unless the car is twin turbo it does not interest me. AWD is a change from the Supra history of being RWD but I'd accept even that. I was hoping for something along the lines of the GTR when it came to the Supra, hybrid?

Nice to see it back but the 2JZGTE motor is so good it only needs minor updates. It would have been nice if they released a new Supra with a next-gen version of that VERY capable motor.

Last thing is that the rumors of another Supra have been going on since 99 so I'm not holding my breath on this one.

:iagree:

It would be stupid of Toyota to make the Supra a competitor with the GT-R because they already have the LFA for that. The LFA might not be competitive with the GT-R in terms of price, but performance definitely. If Toyota makes a similar performing car for 1/5th the cost of the LFA, they would sell even less of them. I'd guess it's somewhere above the Z, but below the GT-R. Maybe M3 or Corvette territory?

I disagree. The LF-A is a collector car at this point, due to its rarity, and it's expensive enough that only the rich can afford it.. Toyota could do well to make a direct competitor in price and performance to the GT-R. Look at the Aston Martin Vanquish. It was great, and then it was overtaken in the bang for buck argument by later, less expensive Astons.

Meh I guess. Don't know how seriously it will compete with the $100k GT-R if the Supra is at $60k. Maybe it will do the same thing the GT-R did, start out around $60k and then hit the six figure mark like 3 years later.
