2020 Supra... first thoughts

Magic Bus · 01-31-2019, 03:28 PM

Like almost everyone on here, I'm dissapointed that the new Supra is not a Toyota JDM vehicle. However if I was in the market for a hardtop, 2 seater with auto trans, I'd seriously give this car a look.

Having purchased a new 2013 sport z and driven it for 5 years and now having purchased a new 2017 BMW M2 18 months ago, this car could be a really fun ride. The Supra will have about the same amount of torque, 50/50 weight distribution as my M2, plus a shorter wheelbase and a lower center of gravity. I won't go into the pros & cons of the M2 vs the Z as I already did that on another post, in this area of the forum.

At $50k US, the right to own one of these won't suit everyone, but if you're elegible, the BMW option will cost you $65k + shipping/delivery. So a ToyBMW car maybe a good option. Below is a review which pits the BMW version vs the Porsche 718.
