2020 Supra... first thoughts

Zingston

Those numbers are impressive... but it's just so bloody ugly!

It might look better in person? I personally think it looks Kool. But it could be like the GTR. On video and pic the GTR looks hum drum. Then in person it has so much presence it's crazy!! You never know?

I always liked the look of the new Supra and I'm sure it's even better in person. It doesn't really have a lot of curves like the old one but it definitely looks way more athletic. And the GTR is a MASSIVE car. I would even call it muscle car-ish just from it's presence alone.

When I parked my Z next to one, my Z looked like a cute girl, you can tell she does squats but she looks a tiny bit overweight but it's in the right places. The GTR looked like a muscular woman that will break your face and put you into a full nelson. But, I always liked a sturdy looking woman that can defend herself lol

i think it looks cool ... I liked how it looked in the pictures and liked it even more after seeing it in person a few weeks back.

I'm probably going to look into getting one a year or two down the road. The mark up should be dead by then.

I like it, but remain disappointed by how German it is.

I really like the aftermarket support they built into this car and the performance numbers it's putting up. Not 100% sold on the looks but with some wheels and a drop it's looking pretty good. Nissan needs to tease us with something about the next Z already

WHY DON'T one of yinz just buy one and get it over with. Nothing like reading rehash...rehash.

i would pick up one this year if it's available for msrp. But knowing how it went down with the Civic Type R, I doubt i will be able to find one for msrp which is why i'm going to wait a year or two.

yeah, that is the unfortunate thing. It probably will have a mark up on it and probably no test drives too. (it was the same way with the Type R)

The car is supposedly available for sale in the states starting 7/22 for the launch edition and late august for the other trims so we still have a few months.

I’d have test driven one by now, except it’s nowhere to be found where I live yet.
Presumably, dealership will only get one to start with, as a showroom model that won’t get any test drives, or more likely sell ASAP at “market adjusted” (read: “sucker”) price. They don’t get many Toyota’s they can do that with!

Anyone see one available yet?

Ventruck

I'd personally wait a year or two. It's a good sign that Toyota supposedly reviewed every component, but as with any new car, you never know.

Also if you plan on modding, good to know what will work and what won't — and if you'd really think it's worth voiding warranty. I'm not sure how long it took for the ZSpeed HD CSC option to come into existence, but it surely wasn't overnight.

The Supra does NOT have a lower COG than the 86. Go figure... they been saying it would from jump street.

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

ZCanadian

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!

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.
