Furthermore, our insider ynguldyn has already posted Supra engine details, which include a model with a turbocharged inline four (two actually, but only one will come to the US) and a model with a turbocharged inline six.

I suspect that the author of that article either got information from a bad translation or perhaps he's just making a poor assumption.

This seems even more unlikely than an NA I6.
