Toyota working on new supra with bmw?

The average consumer knows nothing. Ergo, the poll results would tell you nothing.

The auto costs $1100 more. I just built one on the Subaru website. There really aren't that many options. Added all of the options to the highest trim level. Still <$30k. I'm guessing there are a lot of dealers raping people on markup. It's really academic though, because the most expensive of them should cost no more than $25k.

I liked the last Supra. Thought it looked good.

But these are just ideas - need to see the final product before I can cast judgement (and boy do I like to judge!).

Nissan is the best bang for your buck, but lets not even get carried away that they are even a factor to superior companies.
I'll bite on this one. I come from Toyota past 3 cars were Toyota with the last one being a Tacoma. Given for what it is the best selling truck in its segment. I scratch my head as to why you went Frontier. But with that said the Tacoma is far from being anything special. The gas mileage is subpar F-150s and Silverados are whipping its arse in that department. It is a bit long in the tooth. No significant changes since 2005. Just aesthetic changes over the years even under current year. Given the Tacomas drivetrain is solid that is why its the leader of the segment. The other stuff I feel you either have bad luck or just whiny.

Back to topic on hand I am glad to see the new Supra but with the rumors of cost I do not feel as glad to see it as I wish it was going to be in the same price range as the last Supra. They are going to turn the Supra into their halo car to go after the GT-R.

What bad things I wonder you have to say about the GT-R but thats a debate for another day.

I would never bad mouth the gtr. It's an amazing value but you've seen the videos those babies have their own assembly.

And I'm not even saying Nissan is terrible, there are worse but in the last 12-15 years who's had more issues Honda Toyota or Nissan. I bet you it's Nissan.. I don't even need to search . Just the recalls, tranny issues is enough to know.

Wrong!!!!!!!!

I gave you a list of sites in another thread douchebag to show you that Toyota holds the record for more recalls, then BMW. Honda had transmission recalls. Nissan transmission CVT, had issues from 2003 to 2007. Issues have mostly been resolved plus nissan extended the tranny warranty to 10/120,000 on the CVT. So at least you have a decade of coverage.
Honda still has tranny issues and no extended coverage

Again, you prove yourself a disgustingly uninformed who speaks without knowing shyt. speak what you know. Which is nothing.

Don't needa try harder lackey. You claim Toyota has higher reliability. I say it's no more reliable than most other current Asian and American car companies and has record breaking recalls. BMW doesn't fall far behind in recalls either..
I don't need to try cuz i proved my point and you're the only one trying.
Toyota sells because of media hype due to high american economic investment in Toyota corporation. BMW sells due to hype based on superficial status symbols. These cars move based on uneducated droned minds like yours succumbing to bias advertising and not performing your own real research... "Most people will buy a toyota based on any dumb shmuck mumbling "Toyota's are great cars" and nothing more. It's culturally engrained. While these cars in many cases aren't bad choices... They are NOT ALWAYS the best choice and don't possess anything in terms of reliability over the competition. It's all hype. An educated consumer would know this... Of course, that's NOT you.

So Toyota's monetary status means nothing when speaking in terms of what is a better car. German cars are highly unreliable and hold the next couple spots after toyota... I still don't see your point.

A flunky's bailout. Get over yourself troll.
