I guess I am never going to sell my Z if that's what the next gen is going to look like. The Supra is definitely growing on me, but I really like convertibles and it looks like the Supra vert. suffers in performance and handling, so I couldn't do that.

Did anyone else notice that those supra wheels look like very lamborghini-ish? But I think that Z does look kind of nice other than the grill... headlights are much more similar to a carrera. And I do like those M3 vents, I like those on a lot of cars if done right... key words, done right.

Ya they are, supposedly. Its all over Supra Forums. We'll see. Their talking a complete competitor with the 2007 Nissan GTR (Skyline). Their going to do what Subaru did to Mitsibishi. Wait till' a later date to reveal it and make Nissan wonder what they did wrong.

Man the rumors are flying LOL
The Supra (If made) will probably be a 2 seater spinoff of the IS350, It would seem that Toyota will pull a Nissan and use the platform to create multiple cars. Im not saying Toyota will make the Supra for sure, but It's not that far fetch, why not use the IS platform to create a IS350 Sedan, IS350 Coupe and a 2 seater Supra and keep the price range around $36k, they will all share the same engine so I doubt the Supra will be a competitor to the Nissan GT-R. Instead it will compete with the Nissan 350z.
According to the article both the 350z and the Supra will have 350 HP and be RWD. Also I doubt that picture of the 2008 350z is acurate...

THERE IS NO SUPRA!!!!! get a fricken clue already. car mags have and will always continue to print unfounded and unsubstantiated rumors. its called selling magazines, and its kinda what they do. the supra rumors have been going on in every country and every car mag since it ended production in 98. so please stop buying into every car gossip column you read and spreading propaganda. if anyone wants to put their money where their key strokes are, then I'd be happy to take a bet on the matter. I'll bet that no supra will be officially released for sale before the end of 2008. any takers?

damn the 350z looks like a smiley face, the fact that the car is yellow doesnt help too. the s2k doesnt look as nice as the older generation. the supra looks aweesome.
