None of that really matters. The Mkv was a joint development with bmw in order to save on costs. Not to mention Toyota is not going to ignore the other available cars out there that will directly compete with the mkv. Your average sports car buyer will not pay more for a Supra over the other...
Really? Are you really comparing TRD accessories on grocery getters to a modified A80? No offense but what was the point you are trying to make? Horsepower wise, please give me a good example of a TRD performance part that was offered to any Toyota or Scion from 2000 to current that made any...
You are over thinking it. There is only one version, the one Toyota made, stock for stock, I am not concerned with the aftermarket versions as they don’t roll off the dealerships modified.
There is no need to beat a dead horse. We’ll wait and see.
I said sounds, not is. From all the inside rumors/comments on this forum (made for handling, not straight line performance and so on). I’m not going to look up all the comments, they are there.
Let’s not get distracted here. I want to like this car, I hope for the best but what I keep seeing...
Btw, you didn’t need 1,000 horsepower to make a Supra fast. Most were tuned to 400hp+ and were smoking most cars on the road, I know I did. The investment to get to those numbers was a joke too. The Mkiv was an incredible performer for its time, even in stock configuration, go back and look up...
There is a lot in your statement that is exactly why I have my worries with the new one. The A80 was a daily driver and a beast, it was whatever you wanted it to be, you had options. The A90 sounds like a one trick pony. I truly believe it will be a fun car with great performance but it’s too...
I think you completely missed my point. New products, like for like are always with the intent to improve on. In this case it’s questionable if it’s even an evolution of the same product. That’s where all the frustration is because people love the A80. I think Toyota should have used a different...
It seems like there are a lot of excuses being made about this new Supra. Won’t be this, won’t do that, it’s a whole new concept, blah, blah, blah. Either it’s going to be better than the MKIV or it won’t, so far it sounds like it won’t be. I would have more respect for Toyota and have more...
This sounds childish on everyone’s end. The A80 put the Supra on the map so naturally people are going to expect an evolution of the the A80 but that’s not what we are getting. We are getting an evolution of the Z4 from what we can tell so far. I’ll keep an open mind and hope the end results...
I think some of you are missing the point. From what we can see, the new Supra doesn’t have any of the feel and overall interior the the mkiv has. I don’t know how old some of you guys are but I remember the first time I knew the Supra was a special car. It was the first time I set inside of one...
Don’t worry about pricing. This Supra is built for everyone who always wanted a Supra but couldn’t afford one or couldn’t find one. Plus, it’s probably for a newer generation who would be more forgiving that it’s not really a Supra. Problem is, those types of buyers would never buy this car for...
I never said anything about lightweight and cheap. I am not concerned with the weight at all actually. The mkiv wasn’t lightweight by any means and it did just fine. But really, those stupid mid 80’s lock knobs? Wtf? You take the most disliked thing from BMW and put it in the Supra? This doesn’t...
I want to like it, I really do but it just doesn’t look right. Maybe it will grow on me but this thing looks weak, too small and just doesn’t feel like a Supra to me. The longer they wait to show it and reveal the specs the less interested I get. Hopefully I’m wrong.
