The side is
The rear is
The front is

Body kit companies will have a field day with this car....I'll bet a different MKV front end will be the most sought after piece.

I think the profile looks pretty good. The 200GT influence on the nose is obvious.

the front end needs serious work and the taillights look cheap

other wise, it gets my seal of approval

Side & Rear are nice. Looks like an Aston Martin.

The front is interesting, kind of a modern Mach 1 Mustang look.

I would just go with the Aston Martin look all the way around move the lights up and out.

First we have the "new land shark," now we have the Atomic Flounder.

I think Bangle is moonlighting.

The Mkiv reminded me of a beached whale. This thing reminds me floating turd.

Clean up that front end, and it'd look halfway decent.

Any news on the powertrain? The 2jzewhatever from the previous supra was an engineering marvel. I have a feeling that the new motor will dissapoint when compared to the previous gens TT motor. It's going to be hard to top it.

If it comes here...the rumor is that US versions will get a healthy V8.

Complete and utter automotive ****e. Those cheezy, me-too high, creased fender lines don't belong on a car bearing the Supra nameplate. Look more like a car / SUV crossover. Barf...

A Japanese N/A 8 isn't good enough. *** v8's aren't like american v8's either. It won't be as potent.

Yes, the powerplant rumors so far include a base naturally-aspirated V6 and a more powerful V8, also naturally aspirated.

No plans for turbo yet.

The V8 would be the 4.3L Lexus V8. The problem with turbo cars now, is that they are getting harder and harder pass emissions from the factory. I doubt that we'll see a 2JZ-GTE again in a Supra. If they used a turbo'ed engine, it would most likely be a turbo V6.

Does any have a guess on how much the v6 and v8 version of the new Supra will run?

Im guessing around $30,000 for the V6 and around $40,000 for the V8.
