Its quite ugly. And would cost a bajilion dollars, what does toyota have to even base such a car off of if its supposed to be RWD?

As much as it pains me to say this I actually like it...alot

It's nice to see that they were willing to take some risks and make something that looks aggressive and futuristic instead of playing it safe and doing something retro

Now as far as the powertrain is concerned

Huh? You mean what platform? They're currently using 3 unique RWD car platforms in their Lexus lineup - one that the IS/GS share with modified dimensions, one for the SC 2-door V8 coupe, and one for the LS.

Even then, I'm not really sure that they would use any of those to make a Supra - if anything the Supra will be a unique platform that will spawn additional vehicles - heck, the old Supra spawned the Lexus SC from its platform, so maybe a new Supra will spawn a new Lexus SC from its platform...
