Exactly. There's no way 400hp, AWD, and hybrid will be "affordable" for most.

What Supra are you talking about? Perhaps the MKIII? I actually sold my 97TT for the same exact price I bought it for years later with 50K more miles. I bought my 97TT in 98 and back then you had to buy the car as soon as you saw it because dealers could not keep one in stock.

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.
