By support I mean things like marketing and advertising and stuff that companies do when they want to sell a product. Toyota isn't doing it with the current Celica so why even bother coming out with another generation if you don't want to sell the product? I am clueless as to Toyota mgmt thinking on this.

It's more likely they will launch a new supra but not a celica. THAT would be tooooo much wishing for something good. But i do have a question for VSGTS, can a 3sgte engine swap work well with a 2000 gt? how much would it cost to get my hands on one...?
