Hey you guys wanted a new Supra to come out right?, well...

there is a way we might be able to get them to produce a new Supra!, we got enough ppl on this forum, why don't we get together an online (and maybe off, lol) petition, we can get a bunch of ppl involoved and we'll all send letters to the company or call em', spread a site across the net and get even more loyal Supra ppl to come outta the darkness. Then maybe we could get that new supra.

So answer the poll, and post replies, whatever you guys wanna do, let me know, ok?, cool.

later man, I'm out.

are u surrrrre

I dont want a new Supra, will make the existing ones worth less. Not to mention the new one is suposta have a V8 or somethign stupid.

[COLOR=darkred][B][CENTER][FONT=times new roman][SIZE=2]Yea well with enough ppl, maybe we could get it not to be a V8, because , c'mon, If we got alot of ppl, and they all said no V8 (or whatever stupid sh!t they would be putting in there) don't ya think they would listen cause all if all those ppl don't want it, they aren't gonna buy it if it is put in , and that would mean less money for them, not so many sales.

but we need ppl first

dude...FDTT...if the old supras will be worth less....they will be cheaper......DUH....then more affordable...dude...im in all the way.....i like your style...

also.....i really want the supra to come out again...but we will have to have 100s or 1000s of people to even make them put it into consideration.....

This is dumb. there is no way toyota will be swayed by people that have no credibility, aka: money. Besides, they know what their target audience is and i'm sure they know what that audience wants to feel when they push the gas.

Getting everyone here to ask yota to make a L6 single T78 AWD supra, or whatever you wish it would be, would simply result in a lost cause effort.

"target audience", for the most part are people that can afford it, 9 out of 10 they don't even know or care about how that horse power is available to them... it just is. So with that in mind why not use a dohc v8 with nice flowing heads and a skull sized throttle body... with the hp per liter technology yota has it could most likely put out much better numbers when it comes to hp vs emissions than a turbo charged vehicle.

Boost can create very high exhaust temperatures, greatly lowering the quality of emissions. So its not "dumb", "stupid", or "lame ass" its logical.

love to have new supra. if they put a small v8..that means more low end torque......easier to beat the mustang and new gto

But the supra legacy is with an I6, its always been that way and they shouldn't put the supra name on anything that has anything other than an I6, it would just feel wrong

Finding people who want a new Supra and finding people who will pay for a new Supra are two totally different things... What does Toyota care if a bunch of people want it, if most of them won't/can't buy it?

yah why would they care if people want to see it back they want people who gonna buy now drool all over it

well dude...its worth a try dont you think?...i do...i will do everything in my power to get them back....i cant believe the assholes took it off the market.

They took it off the market because everyone that can afford one and wants one has one, or bought a corvette. 9 out of 10 the target audience bought a corvette anyway. Its not that hard to figure out, believe it.

SUPRA MKIV: do you have the $$ to buy one? Prove it to them with a stub and write them a letter. That would mean alot more to them than gathing by the masses and sending bulk messages for them to delete/trash.

I put No, But I'd like to see the prices of the MK IV's go down...Just so I could actually afford one.

but the supra would be more common then, so you don't exclusifity(orso) anymore...

there are pros and cons to this idea. as much as i would love an altimate goal to work towards, but i feel proud to be 1 of the few supra owners.

for me, i cant decide which way to vote...

only if it has a I6

:banghead: <--this pretty much sums up my feelings of toyota. I love the supra and i own a SC300, but i don't understand why they don't create the MkV Supra. The primary reason the supra was pulled in 1998 were the terrible conditions of the the japanese stock market. These in addition to costs increases resulting from the lousy market is why nissan, and mazda pulled the 300z, and rx7, (the rx7 had other issues too.) Nissan and Mazda are both back with great machines (350z, rx8) and they are dominating the market. What is even worse is that nissan has TWO cars that rival where the supra was ten years ago (G35 coupe in addition to 350Z). Big horse power is back in, and often times the enthusiasts (all of us here) which only makes up eight to eleven percent of the total automotive market, dominates and guides trends. This is a marketing nightmare for toyota who desperately needs a sports car.

Now in terms of the I6 or v8 engine: the 2jzg(t)e engine(s) were beautiful and very powerful, even today. V8's are great, produce good torque, and are easy to produce. However, with the supra's lineage of only I6's and the fact that I6's are better balanced and unique in the market (minus BMW,) Toyota should create the 3jzgte. The inline engine which produces more torque than a V shape (read:I6 vs. V6) and has less mechanical dissonance.


Bottom line: TOYOTA, BUILD THE MKV SUPRA WITH THE 3JZGTE.

Nissan and Mazda are both back with great machines (350z, rx8) and they are dominating the market.

i wouldn't consider the rx8 a "great machine," but the 350z's and g35's are definately sleek cars. i'm pretty sure that the supra will be brought back eventually. i'd say just give it time for those japs to realize that the celicas and v6 camry's aren't cutting it when it comes to their "top-of-the-line" performance vehicles. the longer they wait the better sales will be when they actually produce it, which is a good chance that's what they're looking at now.:2cents:

granted, but they are still selling very well. Even with a conservative company like toyota they desperately need something sportier than a scion tC or the celica (which is being replaced by the said tC.) Fuel prices are climbing and toyota unless they develop something quickly will have missed out on all the high horsepower fun. Nissan as we know has certainly capitalized on it, but with premium gas running at three dollars a gallon, we might have a repeat of the 1970's: meaning crappy low performance cars (example Mustang II.)

Umm, the fuel crisis of 1973/74 or so was far, far, far worse than it seems today.

There was no 1974 24 Hours of Dayonta or Twelve Hours of Sebring due to the fuel crisis.

"Although the Sebring 12 Hours dropped from the World Sportscar Championship in 1972 when the FIA withdrew its sanction for the event, IMSA stepped in and the Sebring 12 Hours remained an important event in the calendar despite the cancellation of the 1974 race because of the fuel crisis."

Performance cars have FAR more performance and gas mileage than pony cars, muscle cars, and sports cars of the 1970s. Ford is developing an all-new 3.5 liter DOHC V-6. The new crossover SUV, the Ford Edge, will get it this fall.

umm y is everyone against v-8's? that seems half queere to country boy here wanna no y? cuz more cylinders = more power to kick domestic boys assphaults... anybody with me here???

well i wouldn't have a problem with them bringing the supra back with either a v or i6, true it's the way it used to be, but umm...the gtr is running a v6 not an inline like the past gens. and a v-8 in a japanesse car just doesn't seem right, except maybe a new nsx or some other mid engine design. i own a stealth tt, same class, it toyota wants to come out with a new supra then they need to up the power. the gtr runs 450hp to one of the best awd systems. a supra would need more power and torque to keep up at the local drag. i'd love to c a new supra. i live in northwest jersey, i'm unfortanate, i've only ever seen one mkIV

Here's the one mistake you're making with your petition concept: How many of the people signing this petition will actually be able to afford/buy the new Supra?:disappoin
Many people seem to forget that the world is in a ditch with the consumption of oil. Cars from here on out need to be running alternative fuels and with the price of this new Supra, only a small percentage of Americans will be able to dish out the money for it. It will become not only a supercar, but a luxury/exotic car.
Now, I'm in love with MKIV Supra's, but I just don't see Toyota producing something that will bring down their sales. It may very well cost them more money to produce than sell. However, IF Toyota decided to produce a certain number and be done after that, they will keep their profits up and most likely sell them all. Just like there were only 7,866 Supra Turbo's produced and exported to the United States between 1993 and 1998. And even less with the Getrag 6-speed transmission.
Sorry to disappoint you all, but if you really want to make a difference, come up with 40 thousand and call Toyota and press them to do it.

haha,, well oil politics have changed since this thread was started up to now where you've revived it back from the dead.

Sorry, not going to happen. They're not going to take the word of a bunch of anonymous people online, invest a ton of money, have to charge an arm & a leg and risk having most of those people not buy it.
