[meshmesh]

Thought this section was appropriate rather than General Auto, but if you want to move it go ahead.

Here's the apparent latest on the next Supra..

QUOTE from the reporter on the Supra: "In typical Japanese auto manufacturer fashion, Toyota takes a stab at duplicating a combo the Aston DB-9 and Shelby Cobra concept..."

and now the VOLTA....

"Toyota Motors shocked industry analysts with the announcement that their critically acclaimed concept car, previously named the Volta, after the man who discovered electricity, redubbed "the Priapus" by both Car & Driver and Road & Track, will be available to consumers in Germany by Christmas 2004, and the U.S. three months later.

MSRP for the "three-plus-one coupe" is expected to be around $72,000 and is expected to revolutionize the independent racing circuit. Cylinder boring and other performance modifications are expected to be available on a very limited basis, but weekend race enthusiasts are no less prepared to embrace the vehicle. Orders are already being accepted so contact your local Toyota dealership to place a deposit on this piece of automotive history now. Production will be limited and no one doubts this will become an instant classic."

The back end in that 2nd picture (Magazine Article, Black car) looks very Aston Martin-ish......

It's all ugly though, nothing can replace the MKIV and the awesome machine that it was.......
