The return of the Phallic mobile. This thing has been prophesied to return for years now. Frankly i'm not real impressed with the styling, looks like a wanna be 599 Fiorano with the typical toyota dullness.

450 hp makes this car compelling. There's a Nissan car coming with that kind of power as well. should be interesting...

Don't hold your breath waiting for the Supra. The rumor mills have been turning for years and still Toyota has not delivered on a new Supra. All the while, Nissan is making a killing with it's sporty 350Z coupe.

Sadly, Toyota has focused alot of it's R&D on hybrid technology and it's Lexus lineup. Good bye Celica...Good bye MR2. Good bye Supra. Toyota is more focussed on what it sells best. Trucks, Camry's, and Priuses.

The auto enthusiast should look else where for performance and excitement. Hello Mazda! That's why myself and three of my closest friends have jumped the Toyota ship and all drive new Mazdas.

Every person I know who is in the market for a new car I steer them towards getting a Mazda.

Does the front look like a face with a big cheesy grin to anybody else? If they left it like the prototype in the picture I'm sure I'd laugh every time I saw it. A bit hard to take seriously.

For the Lexus side they are coming out with the IS-F. It will be a sport touring car with 400+ horsepower aimed at the BMW M3 and the Audi RS-4. Slightly worse handling than the M3 but more comfortable ride. Better ride and handling than the Audi.
