Toyota’s New Chairman to Resurect the Supra

Toyota Motor Corp.’s incoming chairman said he wants the sports car the company is developing with BMW to be a midsized vehicle comparable to the discontinued Supra.

Toyota’s next sports car should be like the Supra so that it doesn’t overlap with the 86 coupe, Takeshi Uchiyamada said in an interview today in Osaka at a gathering of members of the Keidanren, Japan’s biggest business lobbying group.
