<---Works @ lexus.

LS is the Flagship being the "limo" of japan.
SC...maybe thats what you ment?Thats the little gay coupe that will probably share a Chassis w/ the new SUPRA.

The NEW LS 460 is being released this year and its the BIG DOG and I'm sure around $70k+ Ultra Luxuary $90K+

No word on the SC because they just released the newest version which was only minor Headlight adjustments and what not.Nothing major yet.

Next is the GS Hybrid coming out.

Looks like an Aston Martin from the front, and an s2000 from behind but none the less pure hotness

That car looks the sweetness. If Toyota upbadges its supra into Lexus, it'll be the exact same thing that Nissan is doing with the Skyline which is being released under Infinity.

I'm sure if Mitsu had a upscale badge, it'd stick it on the EVO X.

Hmmm, Evo X vs. new Supra vs. SKyline GTR vs. New NSX.

I can't wait for the best motoring video on this. Super Ultimate Super Car JDM shoot out! (I want residuals if you BMI guys use that title!)

It all sounds nice but so does the GT-r. The real question is price...

I would bet $70k+

I would also bet that the second one of these models sells like hot cakes, every Japanese manufacturer is going to go ape sheeit. Just watch how the Skyline does here next year.

presonally i thinks its dumb as hell.....the whole point of a Japan import sports car is not to have a BIG ol'V8. yeah it looks clean....but personally id rather have a inline 6 TT....V8 is not really Supra like at all...atleast the Evo has kept the same engine and everything for the past 13 some odd years...

id have to say cause of the motor choice.

They should drop the stupid foldable hard top and just build a proper sports car. Real enthusiaists wont like it and luxury sports car ppl wont buy a toyota.

Looks nice but its still no EVO would never change for a supra. The FQ evo is the brilliant car for real drivers thats why its used for rally driving i dont buy a car just for looks but for what it can do. So to sum up looks nice but thats it
