“It will be logical that we might have a next-gen Supra. However when and the way remains to be TBD,” stated senior vice chairman of Product Planning and Technique for Toyota Motor North America, Cooper Ericksen. “Positively there shall be a niche.

Once we can get the brand new home constructed is the query.”
We’ll simply have to attend and see.
