New Toyota Supra Back in the Product Plan

[AutoGuide.com]

There once was a time when Toyota used to have many sporty coupes in its line-up, like the MR-2, Celica and even a Camry V6 coupe. However, their flagship model was the Supra, a car that could keep up and beat almost anything offered by the Germans or the Americans at the time.

In the last decade, Toyota had axed all its sporty coupes, with the Supra bowing out in 2002, leaving many fans wanting for more.

Over the last few years, the rumor-mill has been busy with talk about the resurrection of the Supra, most of which revolve around a slightly toned down version of the Lexus LFA.

While Toyota officially denies these rumors, according to some insiders, a skunkworks project is underway and we could see a new Supra by 2014. Whether it be based on the FT-86 or the LFA platform (or something entirely new) is not known. Either way, sportscar fans can't wait to see the fifth-generation Supra. Neither can we.

I'll actually get interested when I see Toyota themselves bluntly say "we are making a new Supra", then I'll actually believe it when I see one on the showroom floor....with Toyota badges and "Supra" written on it.

Indeed ^^

And 2014? I doubt it, look how long it took them to get the FR-S out from a concrete concept to the actual production model (and it STILL isn't out!). I'd figure at least 2018-2020, unless Toyota has been developing it in secret, and in tandem with the LF-A.
