Enjoy the interior, it may add $20k to the MSRP (if this thing is indeed 60k, this car should have been 40k if they had developed it in house or developed it with another Japanese manufacturer).

Supras have always had nice interiors, I dont see how a Japanese company could do it for $20k less. Perhaps your anger is directed else where

What anger?
The mk4 was 40k, and it was about 10k higher then the market could handle at the time. A 370z starts at 30k today, and performance wise, these 2 cars are very similar. I'm quite certain a Japanese company could have built this thing with the same performance and made it competitive price wise with today's Z.
Also the mk2 and mk3 were both very affordable cars in their day and they have even more luxurious interiors than the mk4.

eh but when you factor in inflation, MK4 TT Supra actually comes out to be $60 K +...the cheapest year with inflation factored in was the 97MY when it retailed for $39 K MSRP which comes out to be $64 K today. From all the rumors we've sifted through, MK5 should still be a little cheaper in comparison.

Yes, and the car was considered ungodly expensive by mid cycle, and was a sales failure here. The 370z starts at 30 and can be optioned up to 40k today. Its playing in the same perf league, it should be competing with it price wise. Its worth an extra 5k on a Z for having a turbo charged motor with more grunt and a nicer interior. But 15 to 20k more? Thats really pushing it. We'll see, there are lots of hopeful comments coming out of Madrid reviews that suggesting $50k might be possible.

Selective memory is a powerful thing in the human mind.
I don't think Nissan made any sports car higher than the 370z, nope, not a single one at all.
Oh, and the Z32 was around the time the Supra was released. Prices from the 90's list 33k for the top trim. Coming out to...66k USD.
But back on topic, how in the hell is Toyota going to make the interior Bespoke?

How is it playing in the same league? Even the 4 cyl turbo on the MK5 will most likely make more torque than a Nismo Z. This isn't even factoring tunability of NA vs FI...

Can everyone please shut up about this hypothetical new Nissan Z and get back on topic about the A90's interior. If you guys want to talk about the new Supra vs unicorn Z, at least post in the correct thread...

Yes, lets please get back on topic now. (I already moved some of the Supra v Z post to the correct thread). Anyways, our best view with the door open and what looks like carbon fiber around the iDrive dial.

They look like they could be the same interior. The carbon is inset from the piano black trim that borders the center console. There is more felt under hvac in OP photos. They also look to both be the yellow car, if you look at bottom driver door, see the yellow peeking through.

Few things I noticed watching Shmee's video, my apologies if these have been mentioned before...I get lazy sometimes and don't look through alot of posts.
The seats look very similar in upholstery to the Lexus F cars (RCF & GSF). Wondering if these will be used on the Supra???:
Also, the return of the "reptile skin" textured dash that we all loved on the MKIV's:
Does this mean only the leather wrapped dash for the Z4 and not the Supra?...or maybe the leather dash an option on the higher trim?

Several of the journalists mentioned that Toyota said the car would have a bespoke interior so it is definitely a toyota design.Few things I noticed watching Shmee's video, my apologies if these have been mentioned before...I get lazy sometimes and don't look through alot of posts.

Considering the Z4 and Supra have completely different dash shapes, I guess that is more of a question on if Toyota offers it. But the extra weight of the leather panels goes against the design goals, unless the top trims split with one being more performance and other other being more GT.
