If any of you dont know what a Toyota Sera is, go Here!

The car is pretty neat, i wish it was out in the states... But i dont even think that car would ever be legal in any state.

Its very light, almost 2,000LBS even. and has 108HP.

Hmmmmm, thats about on par with the AE86, cept the 86 has Right Wheel Drive, it would have been cool if they would have used the 4AGE in the sera, then it probably could have made it stateside.

Put the 4EGTE head on it and thats more than enough power. The engine in it is the same as the Paseo/Cynos.  Good enough power for a car that size.

I think it is around the size of the Paseo maybe smaller.  I know with alittle mods those engines can really perform

that's a pretty sweet car.. too bad it not out here..
hopefully the 2005 Supras will come out in Canada..like they will in the states..
 i think they are going to be V8's..  i can't wait..
i work at a toyota dealership so if we do get them, i have a guaranteed spot for a test drive.  TOYOTA The feeling never ends :P

I doubt Toyota will give up on the inline 6 tradition,  however doubt the turbo will be included :(

I dont know man, they have turbo charged Neons and PT's. Not to mention the real sports cars that are turbo changed right now... STI, EVO... i mean... the supra has a long background, i'm sure they might make a turbo version. I wonder what the 8th gen celicas are going to look like? the 2005's
