Furthermore, I think the BMW inline 6 is outstanding, modern, and light weight. The only problem with BMW as a brand (any luxury car maker really) is that they charge you an arm and a leg for maintenance/parts/labor once their warranty expires. That problem is remedied by the fact that we know...

Not to mention that there comes a point when constantly increasing HP figures for every new model because an exercise in futility. Why do people feel entitled to enormous amounts of horsepower from the factory? If that's what you want, go aftermarket. As you said, weight is also an important...

I doubt it'll be 60k, they said they are marketing well below BMW. The 240i for example is around 45k.

Nice! I wonder what market value below BMW means. I'll def buy one if its not in the 60k range. I'm assuming it'll be between 45k-55k fully loaded. I'm basing this off the price of a m240i which has the same engine.

Great post. Thanks. Personally I believe mid 300 horsepower is plenty from factory on such a light car. I'm sure there will be after market performance upgrades and upgrades through TRD.

This is ideal

Good point, gotta make sure there is enough room for my venti mocha macchiato

I agree that they are elegant, but the software infotainment system is atrocious. No cup holders on the z4 confirmed, probably trying to keep the weight down. And ya Mercedes has some really nice interiors lately.

Is it a BMW cup holder or a Toyota cup holder? On a more serious note, that is a pretty interior. I'm a fan of the BMW interior.

It's about time we start asking the important questions...how many cup holders and will there be android auto/apple car play?

I definitely agree with your sentiments. A 65k Toyota is a mistake.

I really doubt they would release a 200hp model...that’s the HP of the 86

thanks for putting this together, it looks good and some new stuff I didn't know

Horsepower is not the only measure of what makes a sports car “good”. At the same time there is a the reality of diminishing returns with power in vehicles. At some point, you reach a level where adding even more horsepower is just pointless. You can lower weight, improve handling, better...

Lol the landcruiser is designed to run for 25 years, no reason to buy a new one. I’d buy a 4 year old LX570 for 40~k and call it a day. I’m passionate about quality and low maintenance/high reliability and the Supra was a quality sports car. The Landcruiser would be the quality SUV. I really...

Thank you for your input. I really hope they make minor adjustments and release the car without huge changes...otherwise I’m buying a Landcruiser

So are you saying Tada wants to keep the car as is but Akio and GR want more performance?

Really glad you said this because I actually was disappointed to hear they were making adjustments to the vehicle after Akio’s comments. In my opinion they are fucking things up, unless they can deliver a better car without greatly inflating the price then I think their efforts will be...

Ah finally a company that has enough sense to tap into that incredibly large and profitable Porsche/Toyota cross shopping segment of car buyers. Thank goodness. /sarcasm

Welp, that gives me 2 years to save more money in anticipation
