    Toyota is a business here to make money. If ppl want Hybrid then Toyota will poop out some Hybrids

    by the way, the new Supra is already out. its called the IS-F!!
    Article is 48 hours old.

    Toyota should also realize there are people that dont want hybrids and make cars for them too.

    Supra an IS-F. How is a 4 door sedan a Supra?

    Guess where the American car market is right now? its Economy cars. So thats where Toyota will continue to market to. i bet if everyone in the world starts buying sports cars then Toyota will make another affordable Sports car.

    The IS-F is the new Supra in the sense that it is the current high-tech performance car in the Toyota lineup, never mind the fact that its sporting a Lexus badge

    Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.

    Your logic is severly flawed

    Supra was the current Toyota/Lexus Flagship high performance vehicle of its time.

    IS-F is the Current Toyota/Lexus Flagship high performance vehicle.

    How is my logic flawed? You keep waiting on a Supra, ok?

    Your logic is flawed because it is like saying a Mazdaspeed 6 is the new Rx-7 because it is a Mazda high performance vehicle. They have very different engines and body styles.

    I guess this is just too complicated for some guys and i used too many big words.

    There will not be another Supra, the IS-F is the closest thing you will see because it is also a high performance vehicle. Number of doors or type of motor don't matter. Understood?

    OK, I got it!

    I will now refer to all new Chevy Tahoes as Hummer H2s since the Hummer brand is now dead and that is the closest thing I will see because it is also a GM SUV.

    I understood where you were coming from the whole time, but I still disagree with your reasoning.
