if Toyota was serious, the next Supra needs to take off where the old one left off.. the GTR that competed with the Supra in Japan came here and is selling for $100k and beats anything in the price range and even some $50k more the price... IMO the Supra needs to come out swinging a 5.0 twin turbo v8 from the ISF, 600hp, awd/rwd, priced to compete with the GTR, z06, and 911...

Definitely not one of the better looking cars. Why does it have to be a hybrid?!

I think it looks cool just maybe not under the supra name.

Toyota should know better than to build this. Their $350K LF-A wasn't even as fast as the GT-R. They should just make a coupe version of the IS-F and be done with it.
