The Supra is one of Toyota’s most beloved and iconic sports cars. While the Supra has long been discontinued, rumors of its resurrection continue to circulate.

Among the latest news concerning the sports car is from the folks at Car and Driver, who assert that the Supra name has officially been trademarked by Toyota, which means that the automaker now has three years to utilize it. With some competitors dropping their sports cars, the timing could be right for a new Supra, Maryland Toyota says.

Although there’s no official word on production of the next-generation Supra, Toyota president Akio Toyoda has recently said that he wants “to see the next Supra tested in the near future.” Already, Toyota is developing at least one sports car model, so it will be interesting to see if the upcoming FT-86 sports car ends up donning a ‘Supra’ badge. In Santa Fe, used cars sales are still brisk. Stay tuned.
