That's definitely the Supra -- and it isn't going to be priced anywhere close to $30k.

Intriguing that it's using BMW interior trim ... but those gauges scream Toyota (they remind me of those in the 1st-gen MR2) ... and it's an out-and-out 2-seater, too.

Toyota has to be mindful of where to position this car, particularly with:
- Rumors that the next Nissan Z car will likely be less expensive than the current 370z -- which is a $35k car
- The FR-S/Suby BR-Z and Miata taking up the $25k space
- Mazda green-lighting a next-gen RX sports car, probably to appear in 2019, that will probably start @ $40k
- Whatever Genesis pulls out of its hat to replace the Hyundai Genesis Coupe
- The hyper-competitive market that starts at $55-$60k (Cayman, Z5, SLK, Corvette, etc.)

My guess it that it'll start at $40k or so, and approach $50k 'nicely loaded'.
