The ISF would be fine.
Make the Supra more expensive than the ISF. The Supra of 1996 retailed at 60k anyways, so the new one should be around 85-90k. It doesn't make sense at first but no one would've guessed a brand like NISSAN would release a 90k car and have it actually do well but it did. I feel Toyota can do the same. Make the Supra faster than the ISF with all the technical intricacies that the GT-R is known for.
And furthermore, that's why I say do away with the LFA and bring in more consumers in a more affordable market.
The LFA isn't completely bad, I just think it's overstepping too many boundaries. Then again, this is just my thoughts and I'm sure the risk management professionals at Toyota have done all the math and considered the Supra a bad idea. Ah well.
Just sucks that the GT-R competitor is nearly half a million dollars.
