sweet looking car

Damn. I loved the old supra. Hell, I wish I had one. I have to admit, the new supra is really ugly looking and theres no other word for it

smash

um.. so does anyone have pics of this supposed new Supra? and well under $30k? I'll believe it when I see it...

Skunk

It's in the new Road and Track. They mention a 400+hp 4.5-5.0L V-8 version at around $50K, and a 3.5 V-6 with 320hp at $40K.

Pics are pretty sweet looking too.

Edit: I'm no industry insider or anything, but I would guess those prices are a little high. I highly doubt the V-6 model will debut that high for two reasons.

A) The engine is said to be a slightly more powerful version of the IS350 mill. That means at least some of the parts going into the car (could be others, like suspension, tranny, etc.)are already in production, which cuts build costs. The V-8 is likewise rumored to be shared with the upcoming IS coupe.

B) It's not wise to launch a car $10K more expensive than the competition. The RX-8, 350Z, and to a lesser extent G35, Evo, and STI have seen relative success due to having reasonable price points. A 320hp Supra is not going to significantly best most of those cars in performance. Especially with rumors of a 370Z with 320+hp, a 320hp Evo X, and 250+hp RX-7 and RX-8 on the horizon

I could see a high $20K to low $30K enthusiast model, with a loaded one going for around $40K. And likewise, a V-8 going for low $40Ks to $50K to compete with the C6.
