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!
