toyota FT-1 concept (possibly next Supra)

In this case I'm glad concepts never make it off the production line with the same look. To speak so highly of the Supra and how much it was thought

In this case I'm glad concepts never make it off the production line with the same look. To speak so highly of the Supra and how much it was thought of during the design breaks my heart a little.

That car is timeless and so iconic that seeing this with its named mentioned so much sucks to me. It isn't how I picture a modern Supra at all. Had they just released it as a ground up new sports car I may not feel as odd about it.

Setting those feelings aside I can say I'm happy to see how passionate the designers are about getting a new Toyota sports car on the market.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. :-)

Maybe it's just me, but I never knew the 4th gen Supra to be a design that was fawned over as a "classic" - to my eyes it was a more muscular 5th gen Celica...a typically conservative Toyota design with a huge wing, although not unattractive. What made it legendary was its performance and mod-ability, and some rose-tinted nostalgia.

Aside from some of the obvious concept car touches, I'd buy this in a heartbeat, no matter what they call it!
