Was researching the new "Supra" or Lexus LA-F as it is going to be called, and came across this thread.
I would like for it to be known that I am a huge fan of import cars, especially the Supra. I fell in love with the 86-92 mkIII models when a soon to be friend of mine (Ernesto) went zipping past me on the local "Saturday-night-drag" back in 1993. I was in my cammed with heads, 3.55 geared 89 Fox Bodied LX hatch. The sound of his blow-off valve cutting the air, and being louder than my Flowmaster exhaust with long tube BBK headers, cat-less X-Pipe, 2,500 RPM drone in 3rd gear completely enchanted me. Which shortly there after I found out the car was also amazingly fast. I was then and forever hooked on the car and gained much respect for the platform. With that said, I read the post in which the quoted excerpt came from and felt like the poster was saying that the American car market pales in comparison when it comes to history or nostalgia as it would be; and I may be wrong. So here is my two cents for what its worth. There is a huge heritage behind every muscle car that rolled out of Detroit. The pony car wars had a huge effect on the car market and they molded for a long time how the US car market existed. There is a long and great story that goes along with a lot of great cars from the 50's 60's and 70's both forgotten and remembered to this day. -J p.s. either way thanks for the memories. ![]() |

it looks very nice.
the front needs a bit work but i would still buy it if it could be moded like the last supra. even if they dont change the front, im sure there will be tons of after market body kits to make the front look better without 50 pointless ducts. p.s. im a s2000 owner and i think the back looks way better than the S. |

I dont care wat anyone says but the mk IV is 10x better than this new model. They should just update the mkIV and make some minor changes. I bet if they started making the mkIV again the would make a shit load of money. Hopefully this will lower the prices of the mkIV ??? Does anyone kno where to find mkIV in florida to buy or a website of where to buy them from???? please get back to me
