R33_GTS-t · 31st August 2006, 02:29 PM

Should be interesting. Next most important launch aside from the GTR.

As someone who was toying with the idea of a supra instead of a Skyline - Its just great to see the name back and in a car that bares a strong resemblance to previous marks

Agreed... New Skyline looks like a pig (IMO of course)

Similar balls-up to v7 Impreza

Sorry but it's old stuff (6-8month). It's nothing else then the LF-A concept works to bring out Lexus's first supercar.The pic on the ring is the proto . . . .

GTST R32 · 31st August 2006, 02:42 PM

well the car still looks good though whatever badge it goin to get. But if the car fell into the supra category i think it would have more of a following my opinoin though!!

gtrlux · 31st August 2006, 03:50 PM

Supra category is history . . RWD Turbo coupes are nomore( new BMW3 Bi-Turbo excluded, as it is based on the 4 door saloon)
This beast gonna have a V12 or V10, lots of carbone and a price even the Supra owners 12 years ago can't offort. The sniper who took the pics said it sounded like a Ferrari passing by . . . . as the Lexus IS460 is also going to have a 400HP V8, I am sure it's gona be a V10 or V12. . . . .see F1.

This Lexus is going to be too expensive. Most people will prefer to spend money on more established badges like Porsche. There is a rumor of a V8 alternative to the V10 model, probably badged Toyota....but not sure yet if the Supra name will be used.

that looks pants. the front just looks, well, pants. not my cup of tea. the Mkiv was a good looker IMO though - hence the reason i nearly purchased one

gtrlux · 31st August 2006, 05:51 PM

I also think that the car will be an attempt to get japanese customers in japan back to Toyota, leaving, Ferrari, Porsche ex . . . .
Then is the US a potential market . . .europe- forget it, here the people would prefer to buy a 330i ,even if the LF-A would cost the same price and have a V10
