Oh yeah, I test drove one of those last year along with my wife, I was the
passenger. Nice chick car. Even my a 5'2" wife thought it was little too
small and cute..... Good luck  with that.

really enjoying it. It has a similar twin-turbo 300 HP 3.0L engine, although
the turbos are now parallel instead of sequential and the engine is an
aluminum block instead of an iron boat anchor. Comes with 18" wheels,
suspension is better, steering feel/weight are better, front seats are more
supportive, rear seats/legroom are improved. The exterior styling has been
toned down, but visibility is better since it's a coupe instead of a
hatchback.

short. What's the real story w/ the new Supra? MKV Supra? Something else all
together? Rumors have been out there for into the years now about a
comeback. Saw alleged prototype photos on the web, but still nothing. Was
'98 the last year ever? Or just the last year to the US? If not, how many
more years were MKIV's made in Japan?

wish Toyota would get back into that game. Don't get me wrong. I love my '99
4 Runner SR5, but Toyota can have just as much success again w/ an
affordable sports car w/ super car performance. Especially now w/ the
negative image of a gas guzzling truck/SUV. Bring back the old days of Motor
Trend's winner for best bang for your buck! I can't believe those are the
old days already!

I've been out of the loop for a while.
