Yeah, surely time will tell. The BMW factor is in the back of everyone’s mind no doubt. However, I like to think that Toyota’s stamp of approval on anything isn’t something to overlook either.IMO, they should have just stuck with FT-1 if they chose to go the whole BMW route. I don't think anyone is arguing it's potential, it's the BMW aspect in a "Supra" that simply overrides all that. And of course this car is expected to sell better than the NSX since more people can afford it. The question is does it do the Supra name justice. Anyways we're just going back and forth here and beating a dead horse. Moving on...
It’s kind of like Hino Motors...and Toyota using Hino engines for the 3rd Gen 4Runners. Toyota didn’t engineer the motors, Hino did (even though Toyota bought Hino years ago). Yet, Toyota’s stamp of approval on the design and manufacturing led to the 3rd Gen 4Runner’s 5VZFE engine success as being one of the best engines to ever be put in a Toyota 4x4. It’s a Toyota motor on paper, but it’s a Hino engine. Let’s see what happens with the MKV, my bet is 2022 will bring some nice “changes.”
