What happen with the Japanese Manufacturers of the good old days

Mazda RX-7's, Nissan Silvia, the real Toyota Supra, Nissan Z... we need those days back... Not this sh!t...

Unless they're keeping some stuff a serious secret, I don't see much of anything enticing here. I've never had high hopes for this car, and this is why. The Japanese carmakers are lacking imagination and courage to do something truly exceptional these days.

Mazda's HCCI tech. If it reaches the rotary and revolutionizes that engine? I'm back in a Mazda. Balee dat.

This is just gonna be the faster 86 everybody wanted with a lil bit more room with yet another engine from a different company. You can utilize all of the newest technologies available today but realistically speaking the only thing the new Supra sounds like it will have over the Z34 is adjustable dampening and ecu. Not saying its a bad thing but it took Toyota what 4+ years to come up with 335-400hp BMW that looks like a Z34/86?

OMG, seriously, do you guys believe everything you read on the internet?

We will see in October at the Tokyo Auto Salon

I'll also add that I hope they don't call this a Supra if it has a BMW sourced engine. Just seems wrong.

The Toyota Bratwurst?

Ha.

I guess I don't blame Toyota for using the BMW engines. Minimal R&D costs since they have no competitive turbo engines in their stable and BMW has been doing it for years.

But given the wonderfully designed Toyota engines in their recent sport attempts with the LFA and the ISF, RCF, and GSF just disappointing to hear they'll potentially tarnish the Supra legacy by outsourcing the engine. The BMW turbo 6s respond great to tunes, but damn don't call it a supra.

I dunno. I gotta wait and see. The real magic to 90's Toyota's wasn't just the JZ series engines it was the tuning. So maybe, Toyota will produce a proprietary intake manifold/plenum, turbos and other bits along with special tuning. It just depends how they go about it?

Im impressed and I think whatever BMW and Toyota bring to market as Z4/Supra there will be a few here quite pleased. Looking forward to it. Cars are good right now. Good power and interesting overall. Im happy to see this as the average wanker drives a rounded box CUV/Cross over whatever the fk.

Wow, this actually looks cool and I am not a vert or bimmer guy. Toyota lets see the supra now.

I just hope they don't mass produce the 2018 Toyota Supra. This vehicle will be priced out of the average customers budget and price range. Something tells me it will be in the Nissan GTR price range. I don't like how BMW helped design this vehicle it will not be the same as the older model Toyota Supra. I am hoping that they have turbocharged platform on this vehicle.

If it has Mcpherson type front struts like the Zn6, it can go back to the shed the Mk4 supra died in.
