Not Your Father’s Supra – The 1991 Toyota Supra Turbo
The 1991 Supra is an important vehicle to Toyota for the hatchback market segment. The Turbo is a member of a series of two trim levels for the Supra which include Turbo and Base. The two-door car with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Toyota. There is strong competition from vehicles from Honda.
