Toyota: Supra Won't Return

Although Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. revived its legendary Z car and Mazda Motor Corp. wowed the market with an incarnation of its rotary-powered RX, Toyota Motor Corp. says it has no plans to resuscitate its Supra heritage due to the fickleness of the sport- coupe segment.

A company official tells Ward's a vehicle such as the FJ Cruiser concept, shown a year ago at the Detroit auto show, would be more appropriate. Toyota officials have all but confirmed that it's in production plans.
