Ewen Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Its not really a Supra though is it. More of a Celica replacement. The LFA (if it ever goes on sale) is more of a spiritual successor to the MkIV, but at around £100k I cant see droves of MkIV owners dumping them off and buying the LFA. Not when the wanted section is full of requests for second hand window wipers and cigarette lighters. Controversial perhaps, but a sound theory nonetheless.

tbourner Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 When's the MKV Supra coming on sale then? I haven't even seen pictures of it or heard about it! Anyone got any shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 What will happen to our supra prices when if the Mk5 comes on sale Small correction. If they make a mk5, it would depend how well-received it is. The mk4 is a well-respected car in terms of reliability and tuneability, and its value is already way off its peak, so I won't be losing much sleep.

Animal Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 When the MkV Supra goes on sale, Satan will be trying out a pair of ice skates. And life will carry on as normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 The MK5 from the spy shots and hybrid information, as mentioned, doesn't sound like a 'natural' sucessor to the MK4. The figures etc suggest good performance, but I'd say nothing different over a stock TT. I for one will not be loosing any sleep over it.

The MK5 from the spy shots and hybrid information, as mentioned, doesn't sound like a 'natural' sucessor to the MK4. I'm so confused!! Are we talking about the FT-HS here or what? Cos that's not a MKV Supra, it's not supposed to be, never was intended to be, never been marketed as, mentioned as, or even hinted in the same sentence as the Supra by Toyota. It's been suggested it may be something of a successor to the Celica but it's not even supposed to be one of those. It's a new line. New Car. New type. It's NEW!!! Like the iQ, it hasn't got a predecessor. Or are we talking about the LF-A? Cos that's a Lexus, so it can't possibly be anything to do with the Supra. Also, it's a Supercar, and yes I know the Supra was £40k odd when it was new but it's still like comparing a BMW M3 to a Ferrari 360. The Supra line is dead, live with it.

tbourner Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Oh don't get me wrong I love the MKIV like the rest of us, it's an awesome car and will be for a long time. I also have a place for the MKIII as that was an awesome car for a long time as well. But I'm not creaming my pants over some dream that Toyota will resurrect the Phoenix for the sake of sentimentality, all they want is money and a few breed-specific fans won't bring enough to warrant a MKV. Maybe in 20 years when it's an icon of some kind they'll relaunch it, and I guess it'll look similar to what it does now, but there is NO MKV ON THE WAY at the moment.

Will our supras just die of a silent death. ?? Same as happened with the mk3 - the old and obsolete will plumet in value and desirability. The die-hards will hold on until the bitter end. People will come to view the updated looks as being the norm and eventually anyone seeing a mk4 will think "crikey that looks dated". After about 30 years, the 90's look will considered retro, and they'll be cool again - original condition cars will fetch a mint, chavved/modded/kitted cars will be bought as restoration projects. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he always sat in Mickey's shadow, I believed him to be a character in his own right but he always ended up in the sidekick role with Mickey and IIRC, even Donald.

Abz Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Prices will be sooo cheap you will be able to pick up a MKIV UK TT for £2k and a single for about £3k an NA for £1k...which means I'll have 3 Supra's! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 When the mkV comes out, you'll be able to get a jet-pack conversion for a mkIV NA. The mkIV TT owners will scoff though, pointing to their World Government-funded conversions that took place in 2218 in an attempt to get ground-based cars off the crowded surface of Mars.
