A GTR had hype and legend, and it came back as a supercar killer with the R35. It lived up to all the hype. The supra is coming back as a 370z competitor. When it should be a GTR / NSX competitor

Let's not forget that the A40 and A60 were upscaled Celicas.
The Supra competed with cars like the 300ZX, 3000GT, and RX7. And before people jump in with "it was expensive in the 90s" comments, yes it was, and that was partly due to the rising yen and the exchange rate. The car was cheaper in it's homemarket and that's where they sold a majority of the A80s. 31,575 units to be exact compared to 11,446 units for the US.
