"...let's not forget the unloved GTO - what does that car's doomed existence tell Toyota?"   That GM can have 7/8ths of the equation right and still screw up mightily on the last 0.125?   Agreed, I think, all the way around.   Frankly, if they do come out with an IS300 coupe this go 'round, it would be closest to the real Supra we knew (assuming there's a true performance package and a bumped up plant) of old. I'd peg that at about 40 grand maybe.   For a Supra on more Toyota terms (something the every-man can aspire to), I think I'd be looking at Scion for the future.   Just a guess.

wait, why would an IS300 coupe come in at $40K if the sedan is going to start around $30K?   I'd go for an IS coupe.

No no, dear boy, that would be for a plus-rated engine and a real performance package on top of a mid-level IS coupe! That would make it something like the later, lustable Supras.   I don't think the IS line will top out at at $30K territory by any stretch. That'll be just the OPP, I'm betting...

ah, now you have my wishful thinking imagining an IS430 coupe, with all the suspension and tire trimmings. That would easily be worth $40K and more.

Yeah, kinda tasty, ain't it.   Won't happen though; at least not with the eight. Can't have a two-door at $40K+ that would put to shame the ultra-blah SC at $65K!   I could see it with a six and a breather (down the road), perhaps. Still pretty tasty I think.

Hmm... I like. I really want a supercharged SC.... oh well. I just really like the Supra a bunch.

Replying to: jasonvsu (Feb 06, 2005 3:19 pm) I totally agree with the idea of making a new Supra with an even bigger faster engine, I mean whats their racing car now...The Celica? I wish they would have dropped it instead. It looks just like everything else now, they should have changed the Celica its boring now. The Supra was different much different and it had evolved so much. I am also curious to see what it will look like they should defiantly keep the tail and head lights from around 93 until they discontinued though. Thats a big part of what sets the Supra apart from everything else!

"Can't have a two-door at $40K+ that would put to shame the ultra-blah SC at $65K!"   Not sure I totally agree here. Sell the IS430 coupe without the option of a targe roof or a convertible or anything like that, and what it will be is a pure-focus sports car. The SC, OTOH, is a style cruiser. It makes a statement, which is "I am an older, affluent person who loves to cruise around town in style, and catch some rays". The SC is NOT a sporting car, despite being fast in straight-line acceleration. It is mostly a statement car, a prestige-mobile, and a very comfy one at that.

Replying to: nippononly (Feb 22, 2005 9:33 am) if they took the same 280hp motor out of the avalon (packing dual vvt-i, with dohc/4 valves per cylinder---(24v) trimmed it out on a light weight chasse with a more "aerodynamic" design, they would have a player. the weak "z" car and the maxima cannot even compare with toyota ingenuity and design.

#29 of 298 Agreed by chris65amg Mar 01, 2005 (3:28 pm)
The Supra was (IMO) a very good car, and I think that Toyota can easily outclass 350Z, RX8, Crossfire, and even regular Corvette with this new thing. Hooray for halo cars.
