Langley Toyota sat on that Supra for years. If I remember correct, they had it after the Supra had stopped being imported. Thanks to a low Canadian dollar, and a high yen at the time, the Supra was a victim of the financial markets.

Other than a 16 y/o hypa not getting to rip around in his mom's auto Supra, it wasn't too much of a loss

She loved the 7 series and had it for years, until some old lady crashed into it in Bellingham when she mistook the gas for the brake pedal. She destroyed that car. That said the mk4 wasn't a "mom's car". She would have put a ton of miles on it, changed the oil every 10,000km and generally would have driven it into the ground.

GTR is ugly. It also looks really cheap.

"Elegant" is not a word for the GTR.

The GTR is a soulless, computer automated car that your grandma could hit an 11 second quarter-mile with launch control and all driver-aids on

ISF exhaust...

yeah thats what i meant. i believe the one on ferrari is actual exhaust, not the exhaust tip is bumper integrated.

a lot of other manufactures do that just like lexus, i believe lexus was the first one...they're not actual exhaust like ISF,

Toyota just released the updated exterior and interior FT1 for Pebble Beach. Looks quite good also it would share powertrain with the next BMW Z4. So I think it is likely it will have torque filling tech like i8 etc. I don't know how they would price it though.. the i8 is not exactly expensive, 130k.

I love the simplistic interior.. no huge LCD to distract driver while driving in the dark.







More pics here.

This is going to be very expensive!

It's going to be great to see the NSX and Supra reincarnate battle it out.

I don't know. Seeing how well the FR-S turned out i have high hopes they will keep close 'ish' to the concept form. Except the interior probably.

Doesn't look that different to me, besides a flashy colour, some wheels and some minor changes. The FT-1 still needs a little bit of toning down anyhow.
