Anyway, I saw my first one in the flesh last weekend. I think most stereotypical Americans (includes a lot of Canadians who hang out at dount shops) will have a hard time getting in and out, or being comfortable in the cabin. Very tiny car for 2020.

That's actually a + in my book. Cars are too big. If its 86 size? Its perfect!! That's the one thing I really love about the 86. The size

Actually, my impression was that the size comparison of Supra to the 86 would be like the 4C to the 370Z. I think you’ve seen the photos of that comparison I’ve posted before.

Edit: found this...

And this

The 86 being a known quantity, I’m not sure about Supra. Unless it’s like the Tardis - bigger on the inside. Guessing the C8 will be made to measure for American dimensions.

Saw a Supra in person up close on Friday. It looks worlds better in person than the pictures which don’t do it justice. Still not a fan of the faux vents on it, but that was the only real let down visually. The proportions are good, it seems bigger in the flesh.

The dash/interior is straight up bmw, It looks even more beemer in person, esp the shifter.

All said, I like it even more now compared to previously.

Hope the driving experience is up to par as well. In this rough price range, if I were looking for a new sports car/sports coupe, it’d probably be either this or an m2.

I actually haven't seen the comparison. Sorry. But in my head. I thought an MR2 that is rumored to be coming would be closer to a 4c than a Supra. I was surprised just to know the Supra had no back seats! But when I learned it was a two seater I expected it to be a direct Z competitor.

What I read about the return of the MR2 is that it's mostly thought to be electric.
