Let's be honest, if Toyota gave the gt86 a bit more power we wouldn't even need a Supra.

And R&T says Toyota wants to bring the Celica or MR2 back, after the Supra is done:

https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-car...-mr2-proposed/

But it'll yet again be another badge-sharing exercise with someone else. I wonder who'd be their target partner?

it would have to be a mid-engined platform... is there anything out there right now that might fit?

They did give it a bit more power last year (5 hp)

Toyota owns partial stakes in Daihatsu, Subaru, and Isuzu, has a long history of partnering with General Motors, and, obviously, recent history of partnering with BMW.

None of them have anything similar to those that I can think of off the top of my head.

If Toyota wants to bring the Celica back as an AWD, Subie would once again be a natural choice for the partnership. Base it off a future gen WRX, make it a bit shorter, and we can once again get back into a 2 door, 2+2 coupe type of vehicle. A win-win for both Toyota and Subie.

For a shared MR platform, it would be awesome if Honda can somehow be persuaded into collaborating with Toyota. But given Honda's corporate behaviour and preferences, I really don't see them wanting to partner with anyone, and least of all with Toyota.

Don’t Honda, Nissan, and Toyota all pretty much hate each other?

I'm reasonably certain that there is a general mutual hatred at the corporate level between Toyota and Honda, but Nissan almost definitely have a much friendlier relationship with Toyota. The two have formed licensing deals that allow Nissan to use Toyota's hybrid technology.

Of course, I am not aware of any Nissans running any form of Toyota's hybrid gear, but the deal is there.

I honestly don't know why Honda rebadged the Isuzu Rodeo back then. Wasn't the Rodeo just kind of hum ho?

Probably wanted to crack the SUV market since the CR-V wasn't ready yet.

side profile of the window looks pretty much like the brz/gt86 just with abit flatter roof line. I predict this will be a disappointment with probably an outrageous price tag because of having the name supra in it.

You thought the Passport was bad? Try the Acura SLX

Looks awesome, between transmission choices (or lack thereof?) and guaranteed sky-high price I find I don’t give a fuck though

pretty, but still a fucking BMW with an automatic built for Alfas/Jeeps

Z4 reviews are out, you can probably extrapolate the info better than the pre-production videos


for ~$75k with German reliability, I don't understand why anyone wouldn't want a Cayman/M2 instead.

they've really lived up to the Supra nameplate when it comes to exterior design
interior though, why a keypad? is this 1988?!

just realized it's no longer 2+2...hence the shorter wheelbase than a 86

what's wrong with using the up/down toggle on the wheel or the dial knob next to the shifter? the row of keys makes it look so cluttered and dated

the asymmetric 2-tone upholestry from the z4 looks great though
