The gentlemen who posted that is located in Spain (at least his most recent posts are)... looks like the Supra event is coming up, just as we were told!:drive:
@SS900 I see where you're coming from. I still think if Toyota decided to develop on their own, A90 would cost more than where it currently sits. People care about the badge on the car these days. I most certainly wouldn't pay the same amount for a Kia Stinger as compared to a German...
Don't get me wrong, I as much as anyone on this forum wished that Toyota stayed true to the Supra heritage and used an in-house I6. My whole point I was trying to make is that in no way do I think Toyota is trying to make "Porsche profits" off of the new Supra. Once again we are a minority...
What is your perceived value of the A90 then? Even though we don't know exactly how much the A90 will cost (though we have a +-$10k idea) what do you think it should cost? Obviously, we all would love to buy cars at what they're truly valued at but in the end, the manufacturer needs to cash...
MKV has been quite difficult to render just based on the sheer number of body lines throughout the car. I agree, seeing this car in a proper color will really tie everything together.
One part that I've been having a hard time wrapping my head around is the number of different body panels...
I know it's Jalopnik... but a little on the Z4 exhaust:

I'm assuming the Supra exhaust will be similar in that it's actuated based on the drive mode the car is in? Was there any word if Yamaha had a hand in the acoustics of...
Those two massive air ducts directly under the main grille look really out of place as well. BMW had a hard time here with carrying over design aspects from the concept especially on the front end. MKV Supra styling is night and day compared to this IMO.
Maybe these hood lines are similar to the ones that we saw on the Supra on the front cover of Wheels? I'm sure these are part those "finer" details that are still being hidden by camo.
If only we had a member there and at Goodwood... think about if the guy who got the engine shot at Goodwood actually knew what to film (or got a little closer at least)!
:banghead: This has got to be a joke at this point. I feel like this is a bot that just spews out words it picks up from this forum lol this guy is too much...
Also been curious about this. Might have to stick with plastic though. Don't need any heart attacks from the constant worry of scraping a carbon diffuser.
