Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda has confirmed his desire to develop a successor to the iconic Toyota Supra, but has also warned Supra fanboys against getting their hopes up. In an open forum with journalists in Japan, Toyoda said that while he "wants to see the next Supra tested in the near future," it's unlikely considering Toyota's current situation.

Toyoda did say that he would like to build a new sports car, "that is better than the Supra," which is a good thing in our minds, because to say the last-gen model was a tad on the hefty side would be a gross understatement.

Instead, Toyota will focus on a return to quality, and on building the FR-S/FT-86 compact sports car, which has reportedly been delayed due to development issues.

If anything good happens in a socialist country, socialism did it, if anything good happens in a capitalist country, capitalism didn't do it, or something like that, explain to me why Europe has such high quality education... I'll tell you, because the school funding is attached to the student, schools aren't just given free money, they actually have to attract students to stay open, that's capitalist free markets at work, and that's why Europeans are smarter than us.
