Interesting...

It will be nice to see a Toyota without the word "TuRD" on it...

The Supra was a perfect looking car. They should not have tried to re-re that one.

But since they did, why in the heck would they team with BMW to make the Supra more unreliable?

seems to be Toyotas latest thing. when they want a new car, they just phone it in.
ie when they wanted the FRS, they had Subaru design/ build it.

450hp from a turbo 6 isn't bad (even if bmw wont let Toyota have it, the aftermarket will get it there easily). but it better be "mustang affordable" (under $40k), or its doomed.

pretty sure its doomed.

*oh wow estimated $60k? and NO MANUAL TRANS?


DOOMED.

No manual, no care. I buy a sports car for performance and also the engagement with the car while driving. I'll give up a few tenths of a second from a dual-clutch for a car I have more control over.

All I can think of now is the no talent clowns on youtube who go buy a gtR with no clue how to drive it. And they dont have to, because... Its automatic.

Sadly, I couldn't sell my stick car. No one wanted it... as soon as I said "6-speed manual" everyone walked away. It's a dying breed sadly.

I saw a Supra on the street in the last month or so. That's an extremely rare sighting around here. It still was boner inducing. I really do think it's a perfect exterior design. It's pure import sex on wheels.

Should have called it a 'paddle shift' then you would have gotten an the online racers thinking they could do hot laps around town with it.

Supra parts in the BMW catalog. So basically, as we thought, the Supra is just an uglier version of the BMW Z4. Makes no sense.

What motor is dropping the valves?

Apparently the Voodoo motor (in the GT350 and GT350R) is consuming tons of oil. Like more than a quart between oil changes.

Kia owner here BTW who wants to purchase a Mustang GT or GT350 in the future unless Chevy gets their asses in gear and make a good looking Camaro.

Ironically, as I search for another 5 speed Civic or Accord to replace my totaled one, I can't find any worth buying.
