2008 Supra? Looks Promising!
I know, I know, there is a polarized argument about the next Supra. Some think that its more likely that the next Toyota supercar will be a Lexus, others are convinced of the Supra's rebirth. Well, a Japanese magazine just came out with some startling photos. Is this the 2008 Toyota Supra? 5.0L V8? Hardtop convertible? We can only dream!

If this makes production I will be number 1 in line @ my dealership. I would have loved to buy a Toyota product when I bought my GTO 6 months ago. Its about time Toyota gives me a V8 RWD to have some fun with!!

tho, i realize its a luxury (first) sport-coupe (second), i definitely would prefer a manual if Lexus had offered one for my SC430. hopefully, they'll mate the new Supra's engine up with a beefy manual transmission and market this with more emphasis on "sport" than on "luxury". if they do, put me down for one!

I'll send this to my brother and try to have his wife (shes japanese) translate and I post up what she says...
The pics look very interesting, potentially looks like the next supra might just be my next car...

they'll probably just off a sequential automatic like they did with the solara v6 3.3l engine. in my view i understand a i6 is heavy but still it creates massive amounts of torque and has proven to outdo many of the v6 models. the v8 should be an optional thing. make one i with an i6 turbo or supercharged then we might be talking. i'm not saying the v8 is bad but realistically like everyone else if i had one i'd want a manual trans that i shift.
i do like the new awd lexus setups with manual trans though.
