Okay, where to start...for one, that silver car is the Toyota Alessandro Volta. Go to Toyota.com and you will plainly see that it is NOT a Supra, and the only thing the two have in common is that they were meant to be flagship sports cars. The Volta is powered by the 3MZ, 3.3 V6 from ES330s, Camrys, and all those other POS' and is a MR setup, not an inline 6 with FR.

Secondly, that masked car is the Lexus LF-A, again NOT the Supra. Cant remember if its been confirmed MR or FR (since the radiator(s) are in the back, I'd assume the engine is as well), but it IS powered by a 500PS (so like 495 HP) V10 F1 inspired engine.
http://lexus.com/about/concept/lf-a_...or_photos.html for, yet again, official straight-from-the-source information and pictures about it. http://lexus.jp/models/concept_car/ for the Japanese site.

3.5 V6, RWD, with 300 HP? No way! Thats so like...I dunno...the IS350 that has already come out!. Even IF the Supra is rereleased (which it wont be!!!) it would be probably 3.5 V6 powered, then a 4.5-4.8L V8 for the higher end "Supra GT" with closer to 400HP.

As far as that last article...I think its older than me. That shit has been around since the 90s, I guarentee you...
I forget the exact site name but it came from Toyota's offical site "We have no plans and still have no plans on re-making the Supra or MR-S"
Ya beat me to it
There needs to be a "Gay" and "WTF?" option on the poll

MR-S is still being made in Japan. They also get a 6 speed and LSD. Japan never saw a gap in the MR-2 history; ever since the first MR-2 AW11 was made, they've gotten the MR-2s new every year.

Planet Kaizen is the site you are thinking of. Speaking of which, I found the old pic I made to convince people that Toyota isnt coming out with another Supra...


Also, here's a screen from the Japanese Lexus site about the LF-A.

I especially liked the first answer, "Stay tuned to our Web site for information on new models as it is becomes available!"

Im guessing whoever you "tricked" was already a dumbass?

No, actually, I didnt touch any of the text. All I did was underline the important stuff; the rest is all 100% Toyota

So that's Toyota's way of saying "STFU ABOWT DAH NEW SOO-PA-RAH!"
