    Default Supra Hybrid Concept

    I kind of like it. I definitly like it over the bulky looking last Supra.

    Calty director Kevin Hunter says the FT-HS expresses the “values of a design strategy that combines two key elements: J-Factor and vibrant clarity. J-Factor is the conceptual umbrella. It refers to the local and global acceptance of Japanese-inspired design and cultural sensibilities. Vibrant clarity, on the other hand, is the design language used to express the J-Factor, much in the same way that L-Finesse is the language of the Lexus division.”
    Is that in English?

    I actually shuddered when I saw that hideous thing. If that's called a Supra, I'm never buying from Toyota again

    Gee, it looks so pure, perfect for the sports car enthusiast.

    I'll pass on it, thanks.

    There is actually holes in the backs of the front seats for rear passengers to stick their legs through... They call it log-ride style seating!

    Bah it's a concept, I'm sure (the soon to be) #1 auto manufacturer in the World will do better when (and if) the Supra ever reappears in dealerships.

    Looks like the ugly child of a G35 and a Celica.

    Crappy 1990 Tercel... got the shaft by the dealership and the extended warranty company (which was Gulf States Motors, the same people that imported it from Japan)... Found out too late that I could've sued 'em for triple damages. Sucked. (The person I found out from was the county judge. Wish I had talked to him earlier about it. From the conversation I had with him he really wished I would've too...)

    I had 2 Supras so I know what one is supposed to look like. This thing is a hideous monstrosity.


    EDIT: Plus, the Supras I had were the only cars I've driven that were even close to the fun level of the Miata
