Replying to: khoa (Oct 20, 2005 5:02 pm) Dr.Fill..... its official now that the LF-A has a V10...can we still bank that we'd be getting a supra within the next 2yrs  If we do see a supra, my guesses are: 1) Based on the same IS/GS platform 2) IS 350's engine tuned to about 330hp 3) 2000GT styling (hopefully w/ MKIV style taillights) 4) 1300kg-1400kg kerbweight 5) between 26k and 30k in addition to that, how about it coming as a targa top? that'd be sweet

Jes! Targa Tops add weight, but are very pretty. A 2000GT update would be most sweet!!  I'm gonna fire up the Etch-A-Sketch right now!! DrFill |

any forthcoming Supra would be heavily based on the IS, which leads to the guess that therewould be a Supra250 and a Supra350, just the way there used to be an NA model and a TT as well. That would almost exactly match the Mustang hp for hp, the only question is whether Toyota would want to bring out a low-$20Ks model, or would want to stick to the over-$30K market.

| but bear in mind that BMW charges more for its coupe than for its four-door, no reason Lexus couldn't do so as well. Which would mean maybe $32K for an IS250 coupe, $38K for an IS350 coupe. Whereas I was thinking of a $22K Supra 2.5 and perhaps $30K Supra 3.5. All the best options would be reserved for the Lexus cars, of course, with the Supra more of a purpose-built sport coupe without trying to be everything to all people, the way the 350Z tries to be. It would also match the IS coupes up well, pricewise, to the G35 coupe, while undercutting the 330Ci. | |

| nice idea, but i'd prefer my supra in one flavour, thats 3.5 for $26-30k base price thank you. Furthermore, I dont think toyota would want to sell a Supra at a 22k price point...sports car image is important and at 22k would make it 'just another cheap toy'. And i doubt lexus would make both a 250 and a 350 coupe...if they have more than one model coupe, one would likely be an IS460 or something like that. The supra would never be all things to all people and i certainly dont think the 350z is that either. Why rob the supra of what it is just to accomodate a lower end lexus? from their history, seems like toyota/lexus thinks up, not down | |
| No Supra for me and the rest of the Supra devotees. Without an inline-6, it's not a Supra; so please, nothing based on the IS V6. | |

If you get 306HP, a 6MT, and evolutionary sports car styling, for $30k, it's a great buy! Not gonna hold my breath for a $22k Supra, but with the traffic Toyota is now commanding, a well-made, cheaper Supra would sell and have legs, like a Z. Mazda doesn't have traffic so it's RX-8 sales are falling fast as the car ages. Toyota has grown greatly over the last 10 years, and spreading the cost with the IS, along with a viable sports car market at $30k, will make a good business case. DrFill |

So by that formula, i should assume the new GT-R is no skyline........oh wait.......its not isnt it? Deal with it....the only company sticking to I6 engines is BMW, and their inline 6's will be phased out soon too. If u want turbos, go aftermarket, cause a supra turbo will be more expensive than an NA v6 and the same thing will happen all over again, like in the late 90's. fill... exactly what i'm talking about u see where i'm coming from
