The mk5 will feel nothing to the mk4 too , the z4(both roadster and coupe) has less similarities , especially in the way they drive , to the mk4 supra .
Maybe the LC statement i made is wrong sure , but keep in mind that the mk4 had a luxury brother the SC , i kinda paralleled them . Anyway my...
It feels that if they put the long rumored turbo 4.0 liter engine in the LC F it would be more supra than the supra bmw is making . Sure it is auto only but it has a toyota engine/platform and it is a GT , no compromises , a true halo car . That said here i am becoming a skeleton waiting for a...
I see most of you guys are dissapointed about the manual . I became dissapointed in general when some details were beggining to emerge , because it was clear to me that many things were compromised . I mean this car is a z4 without the canvas over the seats(something that has been done in the...
Dude i think you only nailed the weight thing , and maybe , maybe i say , the price . Everything else it is pretty much known for some months now , like the bmw engines and the auto only.
Yeah actually the 4c is a great example , while it has (never driven it myself ) very good handling and it is a true sports car is not what the people would buy , apart from the sharp driving it has nothing else though , sure if someone goes to track it often it would be valuable to him/her ...
I believe the term muscle car is a subtotal of high performance cars , but for example if you look at what the camaro is today it is clear that it is not a muscle car , it is relatively light , it has a turbo 2 liter engine and also handles pretty good . It is a shame that they don't offer it in...
You are right about some suff sure . But keep in mind that many sports cars sell , for example camaros and mustangs sell really well in the US , also mustangs sell pretty good in europe too which is very unexpected considering the price is close to 35k in many countries here . My point is that...
I have driven 3 generations of yaris and they all did not have a very good feeling to their transmission , while on the other hand the renault (scenic) i am currenlty driving is smooth and generally have a very good feeling about it. I suspect with this they intend to adress this on their...
The problem is that all of the existing supras mk1 to mk4 are all gran tourers and not sports cars like the cayman or the very light alpine A110. If they want to make a competitor for these cars it is fine by me , but the car is not a supra . It is a marketing trick if they call it a supra , it...
I think we all thought the car was going to be a GT car like past supras. It is about the size of the cayman ( give or take ) so it is very small unfortunately ..
My experience is that when you want to buy a sports car , you make an emotional purchase so to be let down by performance is unacceptable . Also they could offer one model with its current price with NA engine and one model with turbo / supercharger with maybe 5-6k difference , i mean there are...
The poll was done on this forum so it is not a perfectly valid sample from a statistical standpoint. People here ( me too) are car enthusiasts that searched for the next supra on the internet to find this forum , and naturally these people traditionally like the manual more . The loss of the...
Actually the 230i is about the same price as the 86( maybe a little bit cheaper but can't remember ) in most european countries so they are direct competitors , and yeah the chassis of the 86 is truly amazing as i have said too in another thread and i completetely agree with this statement that...
I guess the spx will perform well but the problem for me is that some things were sacrificed , i don't like that it is a 2 seater and that it won't come with a manual , i needed this car to have at least the backseats so it is a bit more practical , if it is indeed a 2 seater i probably will...
I actually prefer the m240i over the M2 , i like its engine more , it seems smoother and more low profile but just as fast. In general the 2 series is designed very good for someone that likes a fun and good car , even the 230i is good for its performance class , i would say better than the 86...
The silvia got scrapped twice if i am not mistaken once in 2008 and the second time in about 2014? It is rumored that silvia could come back in 3-4 years . Also a new Z is being worked on maybe and it could have a 2 liter also. The 86 just needs an engine upgrade of sorts nothing else to the...
I wished that toyota made the new car like the M2 with manual and 2+2 seats but i don't see that happening . I guess now i put my hopes into a new 86 with more power or maybe a new silvia or Z with 2+2 like the 300zx.
Aside from the joke i made there is some truth in it. The Gazoo brand will be like AMG and M and to compete with them right now toyota needs to train the whole group of people running this performance arm . This is the only thing that makes sense right now to me , i don't take toyota for fools...
By legend they could mean something different like the return of toyota in serious performance?don't know, nothing is sure even now less than 1 month from the reveal :P
