There is no need to be obtuse, let's just have a conversation. I never asked for anything performance wise or price wise. Of course I asked questions, but you're putting words in my mouth about what my expectations are for future Supra variants when I have not mentioned any expectations here. I...

What am I hoping for? I just asked how the Supra and M2 will be differentiated. I never asked for anything, just asking questions to someone who is implying they know what is coming.

I don't know why you treat every disagreement like a personal attack. I am just asking a question. No I want a Toyota that doesn't cost more than an equivalent BMW. I know the BestCarJP rumors should be taken with a grain of salt and most likely are not true, but let's travel down that road...

I would say the current M2 isn't as good as people give it credit for. But I am referring to the next gen M2 coming out in 2022 which will be even better than the current M2 and will likely add onto what Toyota and BMW learned when developing the Supra and Z4.

And upcoming Z

That doesn't address what I said at all. Again, why would someone (which in this case is me) buy a GRMN or 6mt Supra sold at a premium over a similarly equipped M2 that is ready on hand?

How will that make the Supra stand apart from the competition with those changes when the M2 will likely have the same upgrades?

At this point I would just like to see how the Supra separates itself from the upcoming M2 with the GRMN and 6mt models. Especially if the GRMN or 6mt models have limited production, there is little reason for a perspective buyer to pay a premium and markup over an M2. Although I am not a...

He has done that for years

This is exactly why they have the power to deny the claim. A simple CAI on a map sensor car won’t blow an engine, but you have to make that argument through months of litigation against a Toyota lawyer.

You still have to argue that in the court of law though

Youre going to force them to engine swap the car against their will after they state CAI modify AF ratios?

They don’t even have to fight you, they would just flat out deny the claim. It would be up to the owner to prove that a CAI wouldn’t cause an engine failure in court vs Toyota’s lawyers on retainer

lol what are they supposed to say? "Yes, we are very scared of the new 400z."

They don’t even have to experiment with turbocharging the 2gr, they already have a TT V6 in the V35a. They could even have different tunes of the V35a at different power levels and price points to satisfy different buyers, like how Infiniti has 300hp and 400hp variants of the same VR30 motor...

Yes the current 6 series moved up to the 8 series to compete with the S class coupe so a 911/AMG GT competitor could take it’s place as a 6 series. It won’t/didn’t happen, that article was from 4 years ago.

This isn’t just limited to the IS either. The GS already died because of this. The ES is a joke as a GS replacement. There is no mid level RC to compete with mid level Germans or even Infiniti. The LS still doesn’t have a V8 which is almost mandatory as a flagship. The LC still doesn’t...

The mk2 had help from lotus and the 1jz head had help from Yamaha. Toyota backed themselves into a corner for the A100 assuming BMW is no longer in the picture. The A90 chassis is incredible and I don’t see the A100 being an improvement if they are using a Mazda/Lexus commuter car platform. It...

This may sound crazy, but why not use a Toyota motor in the next Supra? If the Supra doesn’t eventually break away from using an inline 6, then another manufacturer will forever be relied on for development

Why not 6 series? There was once a time when the 6 series based off the Z4/Supra's architecture was planned to target the 911 (which is why the current 8 series is the size as the former 6 series) but never came to fruition. Strangely enough a render of a BMW coupe with Supra styling exists...
