Is there a Next Gen Supra in the works?

I read an article in one of the several auto mags that we get down at the shop. Apparently they have a 'sports car' in the works. An aluminum block V8, with something like 400hp-600hp twin turbo. The talk is that it would come out sometime in 2007-08, and likely be badged under Lexus. AND they will only be making a limited number of them at first.

No name has been selected, but NAMES, and not numbers and letters, is what it will be called. (according to the article)

They have been testing it, and there was a photo. It looked a bit too rounded for me, but I am an 'edgie' body lover. In fact, I like my MK3 front end over the Mk4 design. I would like to get rid of the big back glass hatch, like I saw a photo of a yellow one on that site with all the supras.
