These quotes may be common knowledge, but I thought they were interesting.

Quoted from a Celica site: "Rumors are now begining to swirl madly about a 2004 (actual late-2003 release) model year Supra. Preliminary specs include either a 3.5L V-6 with 325HP in the high trim, and a 2.5 L V-6 in the lower trim. Other sources have the 2004 Supra coming with a 4.5L V-8 in the upper trim and the 3.5L V-6 in the base trim. Expect the Supra to arrive as a direct competitor to the 350Z. Pricing and power should be very similar so it should hopefully be a little more affordable than the past Supra."

"The 2004 Supra would be smaller and more driver-focused than the model last seen here in 1998. Expect a 350-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 that will belong to a new family of Toyota V6 engines, top versions of which will employ a variable valve timing and lift device similar to BMW's Valvetronic system. The new Supra could share platforms and parts with the next Lexus IS300, also due in 2004." -Automobile, August 2002

I wonder how much it will look like these pics:
