The Supra does NOT have a lower COG than the 86. Go figure... they been saying it would from jump street. https://www-caranddriver-com.cdn.amp...laim-tested%2F

Interesting.
They show CGZ dimensions of:
Supra (in form tested) = 19.5" off the ground.
Toyota 86 = 18".

For reference, they also say
Mustang Shelby GT350 = 19.5"

And from other sources:
Lotus Elise = 18.8"
Alfa Romeo 4C = 16"

Wish they'd publish a list of all sports cars they've tested!

It's pretty hard to bead due to engine layout, etc.

Late to the convo... but I saw it in person 2 weeks ago at ToyotaFest here in SoCal

Looks really good in person and is smaller than I thought it would be. Biggest problem for me is I just don't trust BMW's reliability with the drivetrain.

I also randomly saw one with full camo as a test car on Monday so I am not sure what they were testing or if BMW plans on launching a coupe version of their own.

From the back it looks like it is giving birth to another car.

Nope!

Good looking car, but definitely not one I'd buy in white. Darker colors better on t his one, I think.

This past gen of bimmers have shown better reliability than past. I'm sure toyotas influence will make it a lil better. White isn't the most flattering color. But I'm sure black or grey will bring the car out better.

I totally agree that the current gen of Bimmers are probably more reliable but I just can't ever seeing myself buying one, I know it's probably irrational but I always stick to Japanese built cars only.

My best friend has a BMW Master shop and he always tells me to stay away from BMW's lol

Yeah, double-bagger for sure!

But I’ll save judgement until I see one in person

That’ll feed the “market adjustment” fires at some dealerships!

He should have given me that money. Because he would be better off in the long run.
