You're missing the best part, Toyota is going to have these items already included on the Supra, so that's the dealer markup outside of the 1500 launch edition supras.
Expecting customers to pay 20k for cosmetics alone and no change in performance is some fine crack. Please pass that dealer's info.

I still don't understand what agenda Chris is trying to appease.
Yes, it is bmw, it is not going to be fixed and doesn't sound like he asked tada why they didn't do the job themselves. If Guff can ask these questions and get an answer, then so can Chris, but negativity sells.

Taking a boat for a chassis and then...
And when a customer owns a Supra for 20-25+ years, seeing the power from the 2jz and how it became a collectible, it makes sense why anything new is worth raising caution.
This is Toyota showing their perception of a sequel to the MKIV, which might have been perfect if said car was released in...
The LCf is due to come later in the pipeline, and seeing how they are going for a race edition, how hard is it to have a LCF/LC500 like interior dash and parts used to further separate them from BMW?
And without worrying about development costs
