Toyota's line up is so bland. Besides the Supra every thing else is mom and pop stuff.

[Ashkente]

:thumbsdow Now Toyota really has nothing to offer sports car enthusiasts.. :(

No they did not sell the mr2 spyder in Canada...it was weak anyways.

[googe]

yeah the current generation of MR2 sucks :)

[Zephyr]

they have the scion xA, xB and tC now to offer....even though that isnt much at all...and i dunno if u guys get them at canada..

[iceburns288]

The tC is the best of the bunch, however. It's the best-equipped and most powerful of the bunch. It's got a load of sweet features for 16kUS, a pretty good price especially for their target market, teenagers/ college students.

[QuasarCav]

we dont get the SCion series here.

thats too bad, some of them look pretty good.

Its an mr2 spyder in NA and Japan its the MRS. Toyota sales have been climbing however their excitement is decliniing. You step into a Toyota dealer and you feel like youre in a hospital. Everything is so steril and boring. Oh well their cars suck now but then again so do alot of other manufacturers as well these days

[Celica4me]

whatever........the celica was turning stupid and gay.........and the new MR2's look like ass.........they just need to replace them with better friggin cars than the matrix and echo and shit!

[PGTze]

:werd:

but, the newer celica's weren't bad I thought, could have been alot worse.

well there are a lot of ppl that dont know how a car works, and they only know that you have to get gas when the yellow light is lit and rather just get a plain reliable car so i guess its good for them.... but i guess their Lexus brand helps a little with the IS and GS and SC....

[MR.TWO]

Did your husband let you post today? That's so nice of him. The Celica looks alright, but has no balls, so it is automatically a chick car without any mods.

[CKY]

so their closest to a sports car now is just the corolla S or XRS (which ever one it is) and the solara

[npham]

it's XRS

[C4S]

And .. same .. Bye bye to NSX and S2000 .. :(

[crazydave]

there is a new nsx, saw it on car and driver, but they say its overpriced so who knows how long it will survive:dunno:

[Go4Long]

the toyota line up(for sports cars) is all stupid low on tourque, 180 hp 130 lb/ft? that's crazyness...

[Xtrema]

The NSX concept seen in many show was scrapped due to objection of Honda of America. They said they can never sell that as an Acura :rolleyes:.

So back to the drawing board. I don't see a new NSX til 07 or 08 earliest.

As for S2K, once it's done, it's done. No replacement is planned. Just like the S600/S1000, it may go on heitas (sp?) for a decade or two before it comes back.

But Toyota will release supercar again (will it be name Supra? nobody knows. It may end up a Lexus). It'll be a $100K US supercar with V10 and 500HP.

[CelicaST-162]

Those cars may be gone but they were weaksauce anyways. Whats new for 2005 though, The 2005 Toyota X-Runner!!

There's still hope for the Supra.



Some say this is what the new Supra will look like
