2020 Supra... first thoughts

Volk Z · 01-15-2019, 02:25 PM

I'm glad its not making me want to ditch my Nismo.

I dig the look of it but I'm not a bmw fan at all so having the heart be an unreliable motor I'm good. This would have been epic Toyota redesigning a 2jz to become a lower emission 3jz

and having a manual option in the states.

The car will eventually offer a manual here as they will offer it overseas so it's on the table already. They will just see how sales go.

For me a manual is a must. I suspect that engine having a lot of work around to make it handle high boost. I've never heard of 800hp bmws in a frequent sense like say the old supra where 800hp is the norm.

The predecessor should never overdo the successor
It should be a compliment to the future car.

Too much money for sedan horsepower.

For that money they should be well north of 400hp. A Z is a much better value.

As for the looks....the AE86 wins, and honestly, I think I'd rather have one of those....especially at half the price.
