Even the next Hyundai Tiburon might be RWD.

 

Ricer guys could not afford Supras when they were new (neither could alot of other people it seems). Supras didn't get in with that crowd till used prices dropped down to Camaro-Mustang levels, and to think that a $40,000+ Supra will sell again just isn't realistic.

Skyline GT-Rs are great cars till you look at the price. It's one thing to race them at home on a computer game, but it's another thing to pay $60,000+ for one. If you want a regular Skyline, the G35 coupe's the same car.

Cougar is a near certainty. According to the buzz we'll see it for 2007MY, but whatever year it's due out it's being worked on. But then again, it seems 4 years has past since work started on the the Mark IX, and Ford still hasn't put it on the road yet, and with this Lincoln FWD facination Ford's flirting with, it may not happen for years.

"Challenger" (if that's the name) seems like it's going to happen, though we probally won't know till either this Auto Show season or next.

Chevy & Pontiac's coupe, are basically the same car going after different segments. The days of twin F-bodies are over (good riddence).

 

If I remember correctly, Toyota developed a pushrod V8 for truck racing and are very pleased with it.

Who knows, maybe a version of that engine will find its way to a production vehicle.

 

i do remember then putting a ohv v8 in a truck at one point now that i think about it
never heard of it being in racing and if it was any good though
i'd like to see what toyota could do with an ohv v8 just out of curiousity

 

Yeah, this whole Charger/Challenger/etc., thing is getting interesting. I believe that DCX has purposely leaked out some disinformation to add to the confusion as well.

There has been some word...from more than one source...that DCX will have a 2 door LX-based coupe concept at next years show circuit (not necessarily at NAIAS). It has also been suggested that this 2 door concept might be smaller than Charger.

And how big will Charger be? Smaller than Magnum/300. The 2003 Chrysler Airflite Concept, is supposed to be a spot on representation of Charger's chassis dimensions and certain design cues (not the greenhouse).
If we go by that...Charger would be the same size as the current GTO.

 

Toyota has a good reputation for building quality everything in their cars, not just engines, and their stuff lasts 10 years and more. So, if they develop a muscle car with a V8 and their reliability - can't go wrong with that.

 

ahahah a pushrod V8 in a Supra! Now this is getting good.

 

The only problem is, it will cost ~50 large.

 

If it returns...I think it'll be way less.

Besides...why are we ONLY talking about the Supra?
