Yeah true we got a bit off topic there . But yeah the car is not a miata but neither is a supra . Interesting fact : the length difference between the miata and e89 z4 is about (12 inches +/-) the same as the length difference between the e89 z4 and the mk4 supra .

The car will be the size of a z4 so it means it will be significantly smaller than any of the past supras , also it will be smaller than even the 86 (except the width) , so i wouldnät call it a GT. I personally don't like this since when i heard supra i thought it would be like the last supra...

I wish it was a GT car and have the same proportions as previous supras but it is very small and compact i think.

Yeap it turns out that this car is a compact sports car , and not a GT like past supras .

When i heard about a new supra was being made with bmw i thought the toyota car would be closer to a small GT car like the 2 series because that is a trait of past supras and also it is considered the silver lining between performance and practicality of a daily driver and not a coupe bmw with a...

yeah those rear lights were a sore spot for me , good thing most people changed them for red ones i thnk they were called valentia or something? i agree with you 100% on that .

i like how the 86 looks very much actually , especially the front of the pre facelift

The thing BMW did was pretty simple but pretty smart at the same time , let me explain. The past m3s were considered drivers cars to the bone with excellent performance despite being based on a sedan . The problem occured when the 3 series was getting bigger and heavier , so it lost its edge ...

i honestly dont understand why they chose to stray away from a loved recipe. The recipe is this : very capable engine , good chassis , relatively accessible , reliable and practical (here comes the 2+2) . These things were true until the first only fwd celica arrived . I believed the 86 was an...

If even the seats are equal to the z4 seats then it is just a rebadged z4 but with a fixed roof . Actually there was a z4 coupe by bmw in 2008 i think . In 2018 though the z4 coupe will have a toyota badge .

Yeap indeed . I will put my hopes on another car i guess to fill my personal needs. Too bad , because i believe these cars should be daily drivers and not be the second car that you take to just have some fun like a toy.

Anyone seen any news about being 2+2 or 2 seater? It has been so long and i haven't seen any confirmation about this from any site.

The front looks uglier than the concept's front , and i mean way uglier . The back is not bad imo.

VW and some other manufacturers are making the engine sound cool inside the cabin . I find this really strange but anyway it makes sense to some people. My problem though is this : why would someone pick a car based on sound and not on performance for a sports car . This brings me to the porsche...

Personally i just want to go fast and (safely) sideways with the least amount of money . For that i can sacrifice sound and luxuries even though i enjoy the sound of a good sounding car .

Assuming it is for the top spec model , i think the supra is aiming for the carrera S and T and the cayman GT4 . They actually have similar performances , with the carrera having a slight edge over the cayman . For the other power trims there are other benchmarks found in porsche lineup like the...

I suspect that was the M performance . The top spec z4 will be called z4 M40i and will have the 385 hp engine . Also something i found interesting is that because the platform is modular the only car , at first , that will have more similarities with the z4 is the 3-series . This actually...

i read the article on jalopnik but they are wrong about the trunk , it is indeed a liftback like previous supras.

Oh yeah of course i am the last person to want any compromise to the project but since the agreement is mainly for research purposes about hybrid tech , batteries , it wouldn't surprise me and i would welcome some form of electrification if it only had benefits . For the suzuki swift , the new...

This actually isn't true . The most recent example i can give you is the toyota prius , one of the biggest innovations in terms of powertrain setup in recent car history, it was the first car sold with hybrid engine and it is a car that is nowhere near the levels of even half the 100k . Second...
