Yea but Toyota has a working / running prototype they actually drive around unlike Mazda. I have more faith in the Toyota report than the Mazda big-foot sightings.

Youbetcha - that Supra will be Corvette money. Makes the Corvette look like a bargain but the Supra might have 2+2 (really 2+0.5) seating.

No MT available in the new Supra?? Boo!

Wonder if the LC will be any good. Thing's heavy, which isn't a good start...

No MT
obe of the perks of this phase of human evolution I guess, the disappearance of the manual transmission

I don't doubt the supra showing up this year for a minute. There's been pictures of test mules driving around for quite a while now. It's real.

IIRC the new Supra is a shared project with BMW's Z5.
Lots of spy shots abound.
