oh and also, your keyboard is pretty gross looking.
They called it a Supra in a few places, but we all know that means nothing even if this car does make it to production, bear in mind though that Autocar are usually spot on wit they're predictions, I'e been reading it for years and it's amazing - they must have insiders all over the place - the BMW M5 they drew months ago is spot on even down to the front air intakes .



Agreed the keyboard is pretty manky, but has gone 8 years without cleaning, all I can say is that it's a good thing that all you can see is the keyboard .

Who really gives a flying **** what it will be called if it even makes it into production. If I had the cash I'd rather buy that then the Gallardo or 360 just because both Ferrari and Lamborghini are meaningless without big power, big top speed cars such as the Diable/Murcielago and F50/Enzo.



The Italians own the supercar marked, okay, **** we get it, but they're too busy trying to make "The Perfect Car" that they've lost perspective on why people know their names. Because they build Supercars, which the 360/456/575 and Gallardo are neither of, they'd IMO lose sales to a Honda HSC or this Toyota thing.

It's like this, why would someone want an inferior Lamborghini, when they could have the baddest Toyota to ever hit the street?



The Japs would be less expensive, parts would cost less, mainenance would cost FAR less and be far less frequent and the upfront cost of the cars themselves should be also very competitive with thpse of their counterparts from Italy.



And don't forget the Ford GT, believe it or not, we're starting to make better more reliable cars. In a decade or so, I honestly think that the US will drive the Europeans out of our car marked by a whole shot. The Japs on the other side, well, they're light years ahead of everybody in almost everything LOL.



I love the look of this car, I hate Toyota, but I love this car. It looks mean, potent, the engine is behind the driver and the front end looks Enzoish, but without the uglyness.



Judge it for what it is, an under $150K Gallardo, 360, and 911 beater that looks better, will probably perform better, and won't dent your wallet as much as either of those would in both initial price and repair cost.



****, it's a Toyota. LOL
