Default rx7 making a return in 2006

anyone else excited? i just read this today in car and driver's buyers guide for 2005. looks like mazda wants to bring back their sports car for a decent price.

supras are coming out for 2005...its cool that all are going to be priced around $30k USD (before mark up of course)

Thnk god I love the RX7, I do like the RX8 but it just hasnt got the spirit that the RX7 developed over 2 and a bit decades, or a turbo version.

I hope the Supra is sold as a Lexus so they can actually charge more for it, and with the upcoming GT lines for Lexus it sounds like a smart entry.

So Toyota doesn't skimp out on power.

I don't think they want to charge too much for a car and bite into sales of their upper scale daughter company.

From what I understand Toyota is developing a supercar but I don't
believe it will be in any way related to the Supra and will probably
compete with the Ferrari 360 on a cheaper level of course.

its cool that the rx-7 is coming back. But when i was reading the report it said that the platform, suspension and driveline elements will be the same from the rx-8 ...it would be better off if they just designed it differently from the rx-8.

Toyota issued a statement a few months back saying that the Supra was cancelled entirely
that is bullshit they should just remake the last supra it would sell like crazy

lexus is a luxury brand.. it never has existed in japan.
there are plans to release this lineup in japan in late 05 though..

stuff like Lexus SC430 here is still called Toyota Soarer over there.

The new RX7 looks nice if only there were some other photos of the new one.

I hope that Toyota will release a new Supra maintaining the performances current Supra, or Toyota launch a new Supra in order to compete against the Ferrari 360 Modena, or any Porsche 911...on the other hand.......in my opinion Mazda and Nissan have gone backwards when getting softer, but less brutal new models (RX-8, and the 350Z respectively) instead of their former RX-7 and the 300ZX Biturbo
