I know this site mainly on 6th gen celica(s), but I took my 1994 toyo celica to Toyota Dealership to get full diagnostic test on car why it was leaking oil and from where specially, I over heard the Manager of Toyota talking about the new 2006 toyota cars that were coming out...then the manager said something about the NEW TOYOTA SUPRA taking the celica(s) place; they've already stop the manufacturer in making anymore celica(s) and that the supra is comming in soon. It is going to be displayed in September 06` as well as putting it on the lot for sale. The HP on bone stock SUPRA is 500HP guarantee...some come in twin turbo and others will have toyota's super-charger in it...still V6, 6-speed....have anybody heard anything on it.

http://www.sportcompactcentral.com/article46.html Plans for Toyota to introduce a replacement for its Supra sports car are inevitable, according to sources. The rendering above is an indication of what such a twenty-first-century Supra might look like. Click the minimized magazine article below for a larger picture of what may be the final result. Hopefully headed for production (and the United States) in 2006 and likely based on the upcoming second-generation Lexus IS platform, the new coupe (which might get a new name) is said to be a modern interpretation of Toyota's classic 2000GT of the 1960s. Engines are set to be 3.0- and 3.5-liter normally aspirated V6s matched to a six-speed close-ration transmission. The curvy, compact, all-new sports coupe is expected to be a direct competitor to the Nissan 350Z, which certainly has enjoyed a successful head start. The previous Supra was last sold here in the 1998 model year, by which time it, like the last-generation Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo, had suffered dwindling sales as a result of high sticker prices and spiraling insurance costs. As Nissan has done with the 350Z, Toyota wisely will avoid expensive and complex twin-turbo engines for the new Supra, which should allow for asking prices in the $30,000 range. |
