Now, if your definition of 'selling well' means doing three or four thousand a year ... it could do well. But generally, big automakers like Toyota would consider a figure 10x that to still be a low volume product.

plus the fact that the Camaro was a 400hp v8 in 2009/2010 for 35-40k

Except the 5th gen was a substantial improvement over the 4th gen. I would guess it'll sell well in the first year to those die-hard gotta have the newest thing on the block guys. Then sales will tank. Even Supra fans hate it. There's literally a thread over at Supra Forums discussing other cars they'd rather buy.

There's not much myth to the Supra. People like the old ones because of wanting one while they couldn't afford it and the Fast n Furious movies. They want that one, not a car from BMW with different styling and a Toyota badge.

Supra also cost double what a Camaro did back then. A Supra has spent its' last 30 years priced and compared to the Corvette. The Celica was the power-to-weight & price competitor to the Camaro until the 90's when it went FWD/AWD in 1990 to better fit the Asian tuner craze that was growing worldwide.

BMW sold 18k Z4 models over the last 8 years. I think the Celica went AWD because it was being used in the World Rally Championship. Not because of JDM fanbois in the 90's. I could be wrong though.
