If there is one car customers ask us at Mark Motors about, it's the Toyota Supra. The iconic sports car played a huge role in the Japanese automakers lineup - sitting atop of the Celica and MR2 - it's almost a mystery why it vanished from Toyota showrooms in the U.S. in 1998 and finally departing Japan's dealerships in 2002. We're not sure if the famous car will ever make it back to the production line, but it appears the incoming chairman for Toyota would like it to hit the streets again.
New reports swirling around the blogosphere indicate Takeshi Uchiyamada, the new Toyota Chairman, would be more than interested to see a new Toyota sports car similar to the ride so many fell in love with throughout the years. Between that news and other clues that have surfaced, we'd guess something positive may happen.
Some might have heard about the partnership between BMW and Toyota a while back. A topic that came up was the possibility for them to build a joint-platform mid-size sports car concept. Makes you wonder. Could this potentially lead to a newer version of the Supra? We'll have to wait and see.
In the car industry nothing is certain until you see the production car. This could set the stage for the phoenix to rise from the ashes and return into the new Toyota lineup. Until then, you are more than welcome to come browse the current selection of models like the new Corolla and Prius at our Plover, WI dealership. The team at Mark Motors always enjoys discussing the features, answering your questions and going on a test drive.
