2020 Supra... first thoughts

On paper it's not spectacular but I'm waiting for the behind the wheel experience. This may possibly the most balanced FR out their. The Z is front heavy. If this corners very balanced then we have a winner? If it doesn't? Then let's pray the rx9 or new Z come soon

The new Supra is Toyota's attempt to put a decent mid-size sports car in the lineup to improve image with minimum effort and cost so that they can sell more TRD Camrys and TRD Avalons. If Toyota really wants to do the new Supra right, it should be a Toyota hardware with BMW tuning, not the other way around. The 1st gen MR2 had Lotus worked on the suspension and Yamaha worked on the 4AGE engine. By the end of the day, a Toyota-tuned BMW that costs like a BMW and requires maintenance like a BMW with no manual transmission option is not appealing to me. I will just get myself a BMW M240i with a manual transmission instead.
