I love the new supra look but that was my first thought.

It's going to be a decent car for sure. I can see a manual coming out and Toyota really pushing the car. Tuners will find ways to make it a beast and reliable...

I remember my350z.com bashing the 370z and now tables turn.

The biggest issue I have was not having a Toyota motor and lack of manual options which may come soon enough as Europe will get a 3rd pedal. So the transmission is built.
I don't know why people are saying that the new Supra looks like an rx8? It looks nothing like an rx8, looks more like a mini viper coupe gts.

Nah, in stock form it looks like a BMW Z4 with a hard top, funny grille, and fake vents. Which isn't really a coincidence.

The body kit linked on the prior page is definitely Viper-inspired, and is a major improvement in the looks department.



RX8 - I think it might be the long hood. I saw it too, a bit, but it doesn't scream 16-year-old Wankel Mazda.

The one I saw looked like this, minus the Euro plate & and add the anti-spy wrap Didn't catch what the wheels looked like.

It does look nice when you mangle the stock body(cut up the stock fenders) to add a widebody or fender flares. You gotta really commit to owning one to drop the value that much and destroy the shell, just to make the car look nice.

whats funny is, it just helps the car look more like the FT1 concept we all wanted.

I said the pic with the wide body kit flares my initial thought reminded me of an rx8. I never thought it looked like an rx8. It was like the roarshack cards and someone says what does this remind you of and you say butterfly when in fact it's just an ink blot... it was merely my first thought of the wide body kit pic.... NOT the regular supra
