I don’t view them as a different company.. do you?

I don’t remember toyota ever claiming to build a 911 killer. All though I’d love that.. but I don’t see a company like today’s Toyota ever doing such a thing.

Lol. It’s not the mustang owners. It’s the yuppie loving Prius like quiet vehicles that spawned the whole pedestrian safety regulations.

So here is a snippet from the article by Autoblog... As for its looks, I laid eyes on un-camouflaged Z4s in matte black and red and felt the overall design seemed more successful in the understated dark scheme than the red finish. While the clamshell hood integrates nicely with the body, some...

Arch rivals..

Anything less than 350 ain’t halo material either.. I’m hoping the Supra has at least a 375hp output. Looks like the car will be over 3k lbs basing it on what’s reported here about the Z4. Hopefully it’s not the case.. and the car is as light as 2900 lbs.

Yeah toyota.. let the masses sample the car.. u know u are reading this. Don’t be afraid. Just say you’ll have a manual at some point and no one will kill you.. lol

I guess the hardtop version (Supra) will be that 100-200lbs lighter. What I was surprised was.. I thought the bimmer was going to be a GT car rather than a proper track weapon which the SUpra was slated to be. If this one is good.. seems promising for the supra.

340hp and the 8spd trans... I guess the Supra will be the same.

I don’t think anyone was knocking the V8 in the LC500. That’s an amazing motor for sure. Discussion was about LC in Land cruiser.

Selling decent vs. selling 1/10 of its direct competitor is two entirely different things. BOF trucks are disappearing in the mid size segment only. Full size segement is alive and well with Armada/QX80, Tahoe/Escalade and Expedition/Navigator. 4Runner sells cause it’s the only game in town. Not...

4Runner sells in the southern states and that’s about it. My friend still has brand new MY 16 in his lot in NY. Sequoia doesn’t sell at all.. comparing it to the likes of Tahoe and Expedition. It’s not even a drop in the bucket. It’s not the market to blame there. It’s a 10yr old truck to...

Yes.. agreed with the above. Blaming the market is the easy way out and not seeing the actual problem. Looks at toyota’s current line up.. Camry, RAV4, Corolla sell very well and they get updated etc. Sequoia, 4Runner, LC (got a recent update but lackluster one), Tundra are no way in sync...

Texas world speedway is filled with flooded cars.. thank to Harvey. Lol

Hey A70... I have a rather interesting question for ya.. with my purchase of the Viper, Z06 and the Shelby I got a free day of racing school driving session courtesy of the manufacturer. And ford even sent me a miniature crank and some nice cool memorabilia for buying the vehicle. Is Toyota...

Camaros are notorious with that.. but my Shelby is amazing. I’d imagine the Supra to be something like my Viper or the Z06.. big blind spots due to the c-pillar and that perfectly acceptable

Hey... you are forgetting the curb weight aspect of things. Mustang GT weighs about 3800lbs Camaro 1SS weighs about 3700lbs Challenger is nothing short of a boat. I have a GT350 and she makes 526 out of the box but weigh more. If the Supra makes north of 350 and weighs less than 3k lbs...

Corvettes are very reliable. So I don’t see toyota having an edge on that. I’ve had two vettes and have a C7Z now. Cool cars. I think the Supra will drive nicer basing it on how nicely my RWD 8spd IS350 Fsport drives. So I’m hoping for a great driving car with decent power and a manual. This car...

Sub 3k curb weight with anything over 350hp would be a delight. Just throw in that manual and I’ll build another garage to keep that thing... I look at it this way.. a 385hp 01 Z06 with 3k curb weight was such a monster that till today it’s an amazing car to own / drive. If this car has all of...

Agreed. However we can always say that Japanese folks are more submissive in nature and Germans have more of a crude way of expressing themselves. That’s the culture shock that he seems to be referencing here. I don’t think either of the teams were deliberately rude to the other. However you can...
