I don't know what you're yawning about. A new small Toyota 2 door hatch with a Subaru boxer engine, at 170-265 hp, will mean a really fun ~2800 lb sports car. In other words, NOT a Scion, as we know Scion at least.
why don't they bring back the supra to compete against against the skyline GTR?
here the concept
Till this day, the ultimate sports car for Toyota enthusiasts remains the Toyota Supra. The beloved Toyota sports car ended production in 2002, and ever since there has been continuos speculation of a successor.
When the Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Concept made its debut back in 2007, the possibility of a Supra successor started to look bright; however, Toyota later said that sports car just have a lesser priority on the company’s to-do list.
Well, according to the insiders at 7Tune, work has secretly continued on a Supra successor and with enthusiast Akio Toyoda now taking over as CEO, we’re probably closer than ever to a new Toyota Supra.
Internally known as the 086A, a prototype is expected to be completed by the end of 2009. The car has moved out of design phase and sources say that Toyota is looking at a 3.5L V6 engine that will be mated to the current Toyota Crown hybrid system delivering a total of 400-hp to the rear-wheel-drive sports car.
No one said Toyota wasn't bringing back the Supra, and as evidenced from the pic you just posted, I think its safe to say Toyota is moving forward with it.
What's wrong with having two sports cars in the pipeline? A $20-30k and a $40-$80k sports car wouldn't exactly steal sales from each other.
2.0L flat four seems a little underwhelming when you compare it to the options the competition has (namely the Hyundai Genesis). if they move forward with just throwing in the WRX motor, though, you would have one killer car.
