2020 Supra... first thoughts

Honoring the warranty has a lot of grey area, and realistically, if they didn't do a tune, or expose what they were doing with the car, dealer/Toyota would've been more inclined to fix this. It is stupid, yes, because an engine tune shouldn't compromise a steering rack. But really, that comes with anything. You buy sports equipment and it rips, stores can turn down a return.

As for the the car itself. Adam LZ has been building his up. Jackie Ding was abusing his quite a bit until the wreck. He even damaged one of his suspension arms (I think he ran off track) and it was easily fixed and running. There has been use and abuse at the 'ring so it's not like they just saw it only on paper and put it into production.

True though, that these steering racks have a history with BMW. MKV forum is citing a number of things it seems, and I guess well short of Toyota standards.

We could always give a pass to a year-one release, and really draw the line as to whether things actually get addressed. If Toyota doesn't, then it's pretty much spelled out they half-assed this from beginning to end. What a waste of time, and I guess lies, claiming they took a good look at every component and reached to say the car was ready to modify.

Employee surely ****ed up, that's for sure. Way to drag the brand down, on top of the loser dealers issuing crazy markups — and equally the loser buyers jumping the gun, although some are translating that to YT money. Holy hell there are probably Corolla salesman smirking with a "you can't have dis" attitude with a Supra sitting in the showroom.

Not looking good. I want it to do good because we can't have enough sports cars, but yeah.
