I know that there are a lot of rumors going around about the new supra. But is it really possible that toyota and honda will create this?

second picture down

 

i've saw that in a magazine the other day. thats a concept I never seen before. but it looks hot to me. but dont know if honda and toyota will build it

 

Did you read what you posted? Toyota & Honda?!?!?!?
These two companies compete at everything and thrive doing so...... you will probably never in your lifetime see a joint effort of this nature between those two companies...

as if

 

ive seen that picture in a japanese car magazine in a japanese newstand in japan a over year ago. purely a concept drawing from the 2003-2004 era. i doubt the next supra would be as smooth and somewhat-bubbly as this drawing, and probably edgier like the next camry, avalon, and whatnot.

and as for toyota using honda's awd technology, why would they use a newcomers awd technology? its a fwd-based layout, and toyota already had those in production way before honda thought of all-wheel-drive (1980's celica gt-4 & caldina gt-4; USDM previa/camry/corolla all-trac; highlander/rx300 awd; is250 awd...). toyota already has a good "awd" background. and on top of that, it's honda. nuff said.

 

Just to chime in, it is more likely that Toyota would borrow technology from Subaru's AWD before Honda since they have stock in the company. Which opens the door to the possibility of an AWD Supra ... regardless, its probably going to be over $50K anyway and well out of our reach due to limited runs.

 

Interesting.... here is the scan from a magazine on the topic...

 

id say 50% corrrect on this one. toyota has a tiny ownership of subaru, and the suby's awd is probably more race and street-proven than honda's stuff. so it's a mere possibility for a subaru's awd technology to find its way into the next supra, but that possibility is more probable than honda in my opinion.

on the other half, i doubt it would be over $50k (again, in my opinion). that depends whether the supra's target is a fairlady (350Z) or skyline 350gt (infiniti G35), and im puttin my prediction of something in between (or even closer to the 350Z), so around $26k all the way to sub-40k, but probably not 50k.
