Or Toyota is just adding this for marketing.
Now: "get one before they're gone forever".
Later: "kidding".

I stopped at when he said it should be called, "brz and 86 version II" ewwww lol. Keeping the Supra name was the right idea. Teaming up with bmw was the wrong idea.

Most frequent discussion on 370Z forum: Toyota Supra.

Nissan, you fail.

FPenvy

yea we're here discussing a weird/ugly Toyota powered by a meh BMW engine.

all that said we have nothing to discus for nissan unless it's the GTR-50 which 90% of people i've spoke to do not like.

The GT-R50 was the answer to a question no one was asking and the reaction is appropriate - confusion.

agreed. interesting idea but outrageous price.

as for the supra.........i dont get it. you had one of the most badass sports cars looks wise paired with one of the greatest engines of all time.

annnnnd now you make an awful looking car paired with a blah engine. just makes me lose more hope for modern cars. now, no one has seen the actual car yet based on camo and whatnot so the looks could swing. the engine....still not great.

There’s a list a couple pages back of some very good/excellent modern cars, it just happens that NONE of them are nissans or yotas. And definitely not this new Supra.

My next car is that GTV coupe in quadrifoglio form.

I Will stress again. If you haven't driven a Alfa? U must. It's the first car in 2 decades that I can honestly say is NOT hyped enough. It blows everything out if you are a handling fanatic as I.

I would love to drive the supra. But looking at all of Toyota's current sports entries. I'm underwhelmed.

Let's be honest - if you manage to create a sports car with less power than an 86, you have to put a Miata badge on it!

Power and size are great. now what about the weight and handling? If they cheap out on the suspension - because: Toyota - then forget the entire project in my view.

The issue is whether or not they have a clear vision and stick to it.
If marketing wants it to be all things to all people, then it won't appeal to the true enthusiast anymore.
18-way seats with a scrotum-warmer, electronic nannies out the wazoo, and a big screen surround sound entertainment system are for minivans and urban warfare vehicles.
Anything more than a cupholder and I'm out!

FPenvy

ummmm personally.....i like the sound of a scrotum warmer.
