Totally into gaming. Bought into XBoxes eons ago just so I could drive Toyotas in Forza Motorsport as it left GT in the dust some time in the mid 2000s. Toyota sided with the wrong company, give Turn 10 the Toyota cars license back! And why has Toyota gone for exclusive licenses in the first...
Yup. But like I said, knock off a couple inches for the bumper extension, which doesn't really make the car seem bigger in photos, and the mk5 is about the same amount bigger then the GT86 as the mk4 was bigger then the 6th Gen Celica... which was actually a pretty big car. And Toyota obviously...
No obviously the 2 and 4 don't use the exact same chassis, but the 86 and Supra could have. Same platform though, same engines, trannies, diffs, suspension etc etc.
Those size comparisons that keep getting posted.. it's worth noting that the line drawn to the back of the mk5 is to that piece of...
You have too much time on your hands dude lol.
Also your making my point for me too, as you said, the Supra has always been a bigger brother to another model. Now it's just faster and dramaticly more expensive (2x), it's actually shorter lol! I think you missed mine a few posts back. All I'm...
That's a great question, why do they bother? They are within 10-15% of each other in size and price, they seat the same number of people, they are mechanically identical under the skin and they look really similar. Thanks for making my point.
Well yeah, obviously it has a much better interior, and the e diff is cool, but beyond that, that is essentially what it is. Especially to the average joe at the dealership, the new Supra sitting next to a GT86 with a 2x price difference and practically the exact same size isn't going to make...
Hey you know what sounds like shit? A BMW inline 6 puking its Vanos system out at 60mph on the freeway.

Sure it's been done, bit that's stone age shit man. Get yourself a Dusenburg or some other 1920s roadster if you want something...
Nope, that's not what I said at all. I said if this car had shared a platform with the new 86 (and maybe get a lexus sport coupe out of it too) and it was built in Japan and came with Toyotas new v6, preferably the TT one, it could have been 10k cheaper in North America and actually affordable...
Why not, Nissan does it? 29k for the base model 370z! If its sharing platforms with a 25k car and maybe a Lexus model thrown in to boot, why not? I'm curious what the margins are actually on this car. I wonder if Toyota is barely making anything on the base US models. 49k us is still pretty...
Remaking the A80 is redundant right now. Maybe in 10 years it would make sense. But right now, the car is now old enough to import JDM examples into the US, which means most of the rest of the world has been doing just that for the last 10 years. There's like 5 mk4 Turbos for sale on Craigstlist...
Sure, the 1500 would sell out instantly, but half the reviewers would shit on it for just copying a car they already made, and then other half would shit on them for not making more lol.
Yeah, time will tell for sure with this car. I know how I feel about it right now, but I am looking forward...
Something tells me you're wrong. Maybe they will make the 2 tone interiors the standard at some point though, and maybe introduce another color.
That guy knows his stuff, "The FT1 was a mess". Agreed. Good article, definitely hard on the interior, and I was surprised he wasn't harder on a few...
Oh yeah, cause if the internet has this much hate for the car, I'm sure Clarkson will be the model of civility lol
Though he does think the LFA may be the best car ever made, so we'll see.
Does it? I'm not sure what he's doing in that photo, an Italian kiss to signify excellence, or expressing shock at a Supra badge on a BMW lol
And Jeff...

Hardly. My "Truley forged" Weds were 1600 new... for all 4. PS HREs are not all truly forged. They are 3 piece wheels with spun aluminum hoops pressed over a die like most 3 piece wheels are made. I can get the same thing locally from Kodiak Wheels for about 2000 to 2500 a set (size dependent of...
