Re: 2009 Supra....will be a Hybrid?

I struggle to put into words my hatred of modern Toyota. They've gone for a long time without having a sports car. Even the Celica and the MR2 were killed off in recent years. How is it that the biggest (in terms of market capitalization) car company in the world doesn't have a single sports car?

Now it looks like they are about to have one... and they go ahead and ruin it. The Supra was loved as a tuner car and thats who most of the Toyota sports car enthusiasts are, tuners. Now they want to give us a two door rwd Prius. Sorry, but no thanks. Keep your automatic transmissions, I'll be sticking with BMW and Honda.

I think its halarious that the F1 team with (reportedly) the biggest budget of any team doesn't beat a single major manufacturer backed team. Even BMW-Sauber, a brand new team that lost one of their drivers and had to replace him with a rookie managed to beat Toyota.

Incase some of you havn't seen this yet, Lexus is coming out with an division to compete with BMW M, Audi S/SR, Merc AMG, and Cadillac V- it will be called "F." The first model will be called the IS-F.
