In the newest issue of Road and Track on page 72, it has a picture of the new concept sports car. the small article says...
Toyota will soon intruduce a hybrid SUV based on the Lexus RX330. And we hear that it will set the stage for Toyota's next big hybrid project, a sports car. It makes perfect sense for Toyota, a global leader in hybrid technology,to create a sports car with a hybrid twist. The new-wave Toyota 2+2 (picture of the car featured in the article) is rumored to produce at least 300 bhp, sending power to all four wheels, using a similar system incorporated unto the RX 330.
The CS&S concept car displayed at the Geneva auto show was apparently a tease. Rated at only 145 bhp, the CS&S was reasted to guage public opinion of a possible hybrid sports car. The reaction from the media and public was good, so Toyota may have decided to go forward with the program. This 300-bhp hybrid sports car would fill the void left by the Supra a few years ago. -Road&Track
The car shown on in the article is not what i would call a next generation Supra as far as looks but i guess we will have to wait and see what happens. Let me know what you all think of this.

i havent read the article myself, but i read alot of stuff about the new MKV supra.
i think its going to have a hybrid engine in it, and the picture is like just concept art, so i'm sure they'll change it. if not then well its their loss. personaly i hate the front of it, but i like the back :iceslolan
well i heard its coming out around when i get my license :icon16: but i'm still going for the trusty, good old MKIV supra :iceslolan
