Who knows? Lexus does appear to be coming out with a new sports/GT car, the LF-A, but it should be well over $100K from what I've seen. Certainly not a resurrected Supra. As far as the Supra, I haven't seen anything remotely concrete. Toyota did release some kinda sports/GT concept car recently, but I haven't seen anything which leads me to believe they have confirmed it as the new Supra. All that being said, I don't see any way we'll have a new Supra before the 2010 model year. My $.02 worth.

Toyota will make good use of subaru.
March 2nd, 2007.
Toyota has a lot going on at the Melbourne Motor Show this week. In addition to the unveilings of the TRD Aurion, TRD HiLux and the Aussie debut of the new Corolla (right), a new Super 2000-spec rally car is also on hand, resplendent in red-and-white TRD livery. 2006 Australian Rally Champion Simon Evans and rally team leader Neal Bates were on hand for the presentation of the new racer, which is powered by a 2.0 liter, 255 horsepower normally-aspirated four-cylinder that runs up to the class-mandated 8,500 rpm maximum. It weighs in at around 2500 pounds.
As is the case with other Super 2000 rally cars, electronic aids are prohibited and not present on this new Corolla, which will see its first racing action in June.
