Celica, MR2 Will Die After ’05

[ghetto7o2azn]

dont give up hope... arent u up to date with toyotas recent concepts? they designed 2 new hybrid engines one with 408hp the other with 600hp and get 60 mhp (suposidly) im guessing that that is the direction toyota wants to head

the jgtc mr2's have dumped the 2zz for longditudally mounted 3s-gte... i know the 2zz is a great engine but after 10 years of 3s-gte it is still a bit girlie. I also agree with the celica handling, though i prefer not FF. I've been trying to find out info on a new supra but can't find much.. check out the allesandro volta concept car they made, i can't see it in production next year but maybe in a couple of years.

if you look at either this month or last month of SportCompact Car(i am not at home right now) in the very back it shows a Toyota concept car I think we are talking about the same one(allesandro) which has a regular old gas motor and electric and Toyota says that they were exercising some new design or some crap, But it is "suposed" to be the next supra, I sure would like to know!!

If toyotas ceo's were 1/2 as smart as the engineers they would hold off of sports cars for a couple years, then release a new supra, mr2, and all-trac celica (all with availible hardtop) in the same year. It would be the ultimate triple threat. But there not cool enough to do something like that.

haha... i was pretty sure they did but he sounded insulted already, wasn't the mk1 supercharged also out then? or was it just the unsold 88 cars like the 98-99 supra?
