supercar wars is gonna be badass.

the mazda rx-7 gonna be reborn in 2006. supposively there will be a mazdaspeed verison using turbo rotary making about 300 bhp and base model using the n/a renisis (spelling?) rx-8 engine.

the rx-8 wont be discontinued they will both be coming out at the same time.

that'd be so badas if it does come out. another pure sports car.

This is all good news to me. I'll be done with school and onto a career around '06. Good money= Good car.

Sorry guys, but I'm with Natalie on this one. If they do release the Supra again, it shouldnt be called the Supra because every concept Ive seen looks like complete ass and it would ruin the Supra name.

Sorry but these rumors are nothing new...

If you want to hear more rumors check out this thread on carspyshots:

There are a couple of pics, but the styling is not quite right yet.

How many miles per gallon would you get on a v- 10?

[KAMiX]

Not many.

Nate how good is your source on the Celica? I hate to be a bringer of doom, but it's really strange for a car to be released regularly for 20/30 years or whatever then to survive after a several year gap. Are they going to run the 7th gen untill 2007? I don't think so..

Unless they brought it out sooner

[Andason]

I would imagine it would be the general five years of the same body style. IMO I would guess around '05-'06 there would for sure be a new Celica out.

Sorry to bring this up again, but I just found this rumor on the lexus supercar:

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/ae_news_...ry.php?id=39118

didn't know japeneese cars were limited to 280 HP

[XE_Nathaniel]

Japanese Supercars arent limited to 280. THey jsut say that due to a gentlements agreement early in the supercar battle.|

Oh yea I said before a loong time ago that hte V-10 supercar and teh Supra may debut at the october AutoSalon.....I just did this post again because MotorTrend and several other mags etc...sorta "affirmed" it....ya knoe? LoL.....plus its always fun to look at future vehicles. The information im putting is the most up to date crap. I put this info up because theres too much bull picutres on teh message boards and such....blah blah blah...LOL

-Nate

[XE_Nathaniel]

Oh yea there is a possibility on the 8th gen being released in 07 due to sales....killing the 7G in 2006.

-Nate

[FireinDC]

[XE_Nathaniel]

LOL possibility mang POSSIBILITY.

Killed in 06...and Released as 07 model....making the run life around 6 Years.

-Nate

[jayi12-15psi]

well, I think it was nate that informed us about the new solara before I saw it in any mags (maybe it was someone else)

so mybe we should trust his sources, but a 2007 8th gen? that seems like a long time to wait, it seems that sales are sharply dropping off on the 7th gen, even the gt-s, probably because of the rsx-s, but I don't care either way, I probably wont have enough for an 8th gen come 2006, and I'm definately happy with the 6th gen.

BRING BACK THE 6TH GEN j/k

[XE_Nathaniel]

LoL my bad I jsut realized I put 2007 instead of 2006......

-Nate

(OH yea I jsut drove the new solara btw =P)

[KAMiX]

Nate your posts are confusing bro

I still don't believe toyota will run a celica model more than 5 years. They have run the celica for 32 years now, and the year gaps were:

1g - 2g: 6 (first model so really a test run! car saw several updates over 6yrs)
2g - 3g: 4
3g - 4g: 4
4g - 5g: 4
5g - 6g: 4
6g - 7g: 5 (such a beautiful / well selling car, why not run it 5 years )

So I think the 8th gen could come out as early as the end of 2004 through to mid 2005.

Thats just a guess though!

[Cody]

You know what I noticed? The headlights on that Supra concept floating around on the internet...the one in the japanese magazine. The headlights look exactly like the 2000gt's. It's kinda cool that they're going retro.

[XE_Nathaniel]

CRAP! im sorry I made a big mistake.....I mixed up the 8G Celica with the Sequoia redesign! Sequoia in 2006 and Celica in 2005. I misheard sorry!

doh...

LOL

I feel stupid.....although it wouldnt be the first time.....or second.....or thrid....or.....

-Nate

[XE_Nathaniel]

Oh yea Geek_One....the links are a big misleading..the 1st one having old concept pics and the next one for saying it will have the 4.3 liter (presumably) 3UZ-FE engine. Toyota has tinkered and finalyl made the V-10 streetable. All of this information was new at the time...but thanks for the posts! =)
