[koolspyda]

we have seen the V10 concept lexus pictures, which everyone assumed was the SUPRA, but this pictures are closer to the earlier "aston" styling concept pictures that appeared from japan.

New Supra. it looks promising as it also share some styling cues with MR-lica (2008) ~see pic below

Withdrawn of both MR-2spyder & celica from yota line up in 2005/06 & has toyota decided to combined both to be MR-lica?

mid engine hybrid

eh the supra front headlamps looks like modena 360, rearlamps like rx8

celica shape like fairlady... any comments?

That "supposedly" Supra thing looks brilliant. Best piece of styling from the Japs for sometime.

 

[koolspyda]

the name "celica" will most probably/likely be dropped. The code name MR-lica (which i coined) will likely gain entry to USA as SCION >something<.

the supra looks (see over fenders) share similar cues to MR-lica (which has new civic TypeR/ ITR as target directions as they both share the target demographics.

been seeing good comments in other forums too. I cant afford an aston martin but hell, just maybe a "new supra" could do. (when it becomes second hand of course) save money invest in 4D:cyclops: hehee

Bring the Monster back from the Grave...

A lot of Ferrari styling cues going on there.

I dig the new Supra, but the 3.5 litter digs my pocket.. :(

 

[si|verfish]

So I suppose the top of the range 5.0 litre one would rip your pockets and pants, the whole lot, to shreds?

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

5 liter - road tax = RIP

I don't like the old supra, but this new one really gets me interested. gotta sell my left hand and leg. :)

 

[si|verfish]

Still won't be enough, mate. Anyway, you need the arm and the leg to drive. Sell your internal organs instead. Kidney, lung, testicles, spleen, liver, half a brain, sections of your intestine....might be enough.

 

[koolspyda]

work the ass 24/7 365 days (in malaysia) also cannot lar unless your a$$ is like paris hilton.

the new styling cue still retains the muscular or the supra but with more refining of "euro" appeal. something the new GTR isnt, while it not critizing the GTR but the direction of both yota & nissan (also honda~see bottom of supra article)

 

[fritz]

The new supra is not as nice as the old one..hm..like copying europe's car style..not my cup of tea..hehe! And just look at the engine, road tax will kill..

5 lits road tax RM10K.
and don't forget our petrol price which will potentially grow up every year.
