Toyota Supra Back?!?!

UNKNOWN_370 · 07-09-2012, 12:24 PM

If the Supra name does come back? It will be a GT-R competitor. It seems like Toyota is too afraid to put out anything thqt competes against a broad selection of cars. Both the LFA and FRS compete in near empty markets in price and competition. Who would buy an LFA anyway?
I like the FRS in general but wouldn't put money into buying one. Its not worth it as a sports car. Not unless it comes with in-house turbo. And if I'm going to FI an NA. Its going to be a Z. At least the Z has Real torque feel to work with to make FI worth it.

Would be awesome, but I think the hybrid is kind of lame. 1998 Supra Twin Turbo is still my all time favorite car. The Supra competed more with the Skyline, not the Z right? If so, this will be a GTR competitor.

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.

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.
