this was my response to some honda lovers who were not as kind and loving as you.. but is aslo info for you good people. You only recognize what you want.... of course they will sell cars, but what exact strategy will be used as far as competiotion for toyotas new vision.. Toyota is lauching its new car company and it looks to take over the role of the present toyota ... while the traditional toyota will step up and claim the thrown of a new luxury/performance breed, and cross the line into exotic.... you pompus azzez and as far you the other person goes.. I'm not sure if you were trying to be funny or if you just misunderstood me...... HOwever this is the last time i'm going to explain this..

Toyota is planning to launch a low end supra to compete with the 350z and the mazda 8..... however it will be available in two powerplants a V6, and V8 28,000-35,000.... Then toyota will lauch its supercar the 4000GT which is planned to pack a 10cyl and crank 450-500hp and will market at about 120,000 to compete with the new mercedes exotic, ferrari spyder,ext. the supercar will in a scence be a top line supra... both will have simular styling.

The V6 engine will come from the new Lexus IS 430 ( toyota alteeza) toyota had decided to kill the inline 6.. and the supercar will use a 10cyl that steams from the new LS500 to be in showrooms this summer.......... the IS 430, and LS500 can be viewed on http://www.lexus.com and the other info was the result of lots of research...

Now to adress other issues.. .. .. .. .. I asked what is honda going to do now?
how will the react to toyota's extention into a new catagory?, and the new line of cars, under the fresh new badge.... And will there be a new RL to stack up to the LS500? . . . . . Now before i recieve any more off the wall responses please research and give me real feed back. not just obsurb nonsence. . .

Other things Toyota will hurt its sells of the already slow SC430 sells after the release of a new supra.... also the new GS series is recieveing a face lift, and hp increase. . . The new GS will be quicker and more nimble than the SC430, which means that there will have to be a change to the lineup. I believe ( not fact as other things i have stated) that the new low end supra will double as a SC430 and simply make use of a convertable hard top, and lexus badge.

Much the same way as the toyota camry and ES300 have always been.. only the Lexus has a few more horses and maybe a bit more safty, them a beter grade leather.. but its the same car!

And much as the Toyota Avalon resembles a GS series lexus. . . there are only horsepower differences between the to frames... even though a lexus sales man will say that the Avalon is a ES 300.. actually the frame work is shared!!! but the panels are GS, and the headlamp fixtures have simply been cramed rather than four separate lights.... of course the cabin will differ slightly...

and my personal thought the origonal IS300 was a corolla frame with the GS300 powerplant. . . oh and the new IS will be a convertable hardtop ( optional) and the Celica will recieve a hp boost and more traditional styling...... in coming years... toyota usually reserves severe changes for complete remodeling... and that is done every 5 years. . .

The point was that you should expect the supra low end models to cover the slack of the SC430, and high end to make the NSX sweat bullets... now I am open to serious feedback only.. others will be ignored!

The point is that the supra will probably double as the above examples
