Pourtant, back in the 90s Toy avais tellement des chars fous!! La Supra, Celica AWD turbo, MR2, Soarer, etc.
Comme od_man99 a dis, today ces toute des char économique faible, et quand ils font un sport car, ils le font avec paddleshift et avec les internes et le drivetrain non forgés, YARK.

Ceux qui connaisse bien la Supra savent que ces un des rare véhicule qui as un drivetrain indestructible et des internes qui tienne 800hp oem. < THIS wont happen again these days, pretty sure. Sorry to be pessimist.
En plus du sexy body shape de la supra MKIV, impossible d'accoté la même sexyness dans un char de nos jours!
 
(...)there is no more innovation.(...)

Damn, who pissed in your Corn Flakes this morning?

Whole paragraph about hatin' on innovations and wanting it alike back in the 'ol days... yet goes on whining about lack of innovations. Cars with robotic trannies better then manual ones ARE an innovation. Yet again, cars with NO transmission are an innovation.

I just don't get guys whose manhood revolve around a love triangle in between a third pedal, a stick and them... weak sauce.

Anyway, wasn't OP message about that car NOT being a hybrid??

Its simple. Because a powerfull gas engine coupled with a clutch and stick is simply MORE FUN.
 
en faite ce que la majorité des gens ignorent c'est que toyota a changé de président et le seul but de son embauche et de refaire l'image complète de toyota en leur donnant un look agressif, beaucoup plus sport (look)et conduite aussi tout en gardant la fiabilité qu'il ont déjà, et avec des intérieur a la hauteur de notre époque et de ce que les gens veulent aujourdhui...je sais ce qui s'en vient chez toyota, sa vas faire mal les gars sont juste pas prêt.

Ayez confiance et ils vont nous sortir un char sa coche pour le moins cher possible, toute les nouvelles qu'ils sortent(et qui vont sortir d'ici 2013-2014) sont au-dela des attentes, le nouveau président est vraiment sa coche et il a un thinking vraiment different de l'ancien.
Juste a voir le nouveau fr-s effectivement jpense qu'il en a pas ben ben qui peuvent dire qu'il on manquer leur coup, le nouveau supra s'il le ressorte tant qu'à moi cest pcq ils savent qu'il est désirer/attendu et que le monde on des attentes aussi, et juste le faite qu'il ai canceller le projet ''supra hybrid'' commence très bien! vous verrez....

I've only owned manual cars and I'm looking forward to owning a clutchless\sequential and hopefully powerfull car... to hell, I'm looking forward to having electric sport car as an option.
 
Mark my words, They will never make another legend like the supra. They've managed to fuckup pretty much every sport car.


...

The free market died, so did the automakers. They compete within limited, fucked up guidelines, dictated by a bunch of bureaucrats who hate cars and speed and adrenaline and Men. That's why you get fugly shits all over the roads with unreliable and frankly inefficient tiny non-turbo motors. It's like my turd neighbors, she bitches all day when I clean my car, but she drives this big hunk of plastic KIA sportage that's always broken.

Rev your V8 and relish that hish your dump valves make because the future is bleak.

After reading part of your wall of text it gave me the sudden urge to piss off your neighbors. If I ever get my Lancer working I'd be down to do some AWD drifts on their front lawn :p.

Also It's kinda strange but have you ever saw a parallel with the cars the Japanese are designing and the general state of their economy? In the 80's before the asset bubble they were making the craziest cars, then the bubble burst and slowly the cool cars started disappearing in the 90's until only the iconic sports cars were left. Imagine its 2012 and they are still in their 20 year stagnation and in my mind that is an aggravating factor in their wack car designs.
 
Just a guess: They're gonna ruin it.

Toyota stopped making nice cars in 2002 (end of Supra's production line in Japan).
I highly doubt they will be able to match the awesomeness of the Supra 10 years later, sadly.
IMO all "todays" cars are very ugly with weird spaceship shapes and paddle shifts.

By the way back in 93 a non-turbo supra was worth 50k, the turbo version with all accessories was around 70 000$. So today's turbo version might be around 100k$.

And by the way, the design shown in the first post is from 2007, it's the Toyota FT-HS, it's nothing new at all.

IMO if the next Supra look like ^ that ^ and has a V6 or V8 with paddle shift on steering, I'm gonna start a raid (who wants in?) to Japan and kill all Toyota's designers.
Toyota, please dont ruin the Supra legend name, make it I6 turbo with 6 speed stick and forged drivetrain and engine components. PLEASE.

that's an early prototype of ft86/brz/frs.
not supra

No, it was a FT-HS concept (as I stated before).
It was cancelled in 2008, read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_FT-HS

Wikipedia said:
An August 2008 article from Automotive News indicated that a production version was no longer being considered.[5] However, a January 2009 article from Edmunds Inside Line states that "the V6 Supra replacement is still in the pipeline and is set for an early 2011 debut".[6] However, as of 2012 neither the FT-HS nor any Supra replacements have been put into production.

So the picture OP posted has really nothing to do with the Supra, nor the frs.
