Toyota bringing the Supra back?
QUOTE
Toyota has applied to trademark the iconic Supra name, according to documents it filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on July 16. The company’s previous trademark on the model name expired in 2006, and for the past four years Toyota didn’t bother to renew it.
This may be more than just business as usual. Only four days earlier, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda told journalists in Japan that he wants “to see the next Supra tested in the near future”, although he qualified that by adding “even if one president [Toyoda himself] says that we want to have a Supra again, the whole company is not going to be responding to that request.”

It'll be interesting to see if they do bring it back. I figured the LFA would be the next Supra in some form, but maybe not. dunno.gif

Well yea I doubt that as well. lol But that's what it's suppose to bring back.
Apparently, the supra forums aren't too happy about this. This is second hand from my friend with a mk4.
