The world is full of people who'd happily take you down a notch because they are jealous of what you have.

The lede here is that Honda is developing this platform on their own. The Prologue was co-developed with GM. This made me think Honda wasn't planning on developing EVs just yet. The RSX name is a fail, IMO. They could have called the EDX or KDX to keep their _DX = SUV nomenclature. But...

Do stock tune cars shoot flames when catless? It looks like it might be, but it's too light outside to tell.

Love it. NGL, I might have ended up with one of these instead of my Supra if they came out a little earlier. But there's hope that I replace the wife's car with one, she loves the IONIQ5s. Are those the factory wheels? They look spectacular. 90s vibes.

Did you clear any codes prior to taking it in? If so, you need to drive the car about 50 or so miles in order for the systems to complete their checks.

I had a friend jack the drivers side while I did the other and toss ramps under the wheels. It works great for working under the car and you can get in from any side. Third/fourthing quick jacks though. The biggest downside with them is, as razorlab pointed out, all models don't work with all...

You have a good eye, I didn't notice that one. Sadly, it looks like they took the same picture of the covered Yaris and did a copy-pasta with some scale and rotates to put the other two in place. You can tell the shadows are the same on all three cars. So if they are unveiling three different...

Looks like a GR Yaris to me. Daihatsu being present makes sense because they co-developed the Yaris. This could be an event to celebrate winning the WRC Manufactures Title this year while revealing next year's GRY GRMN trim.

I regularly go a month or so between drives and don't do anything special. I've tried throwing a battery tender on it, but it always reads full, even after 3 weeks, so I don't bother. I think it helps that my garage says pretty warm in the winter (50F+). I imagine this will get tedious and...

You're grossly misrepresenting the weight of the Cayman by comparing the lightest Cayman to the heaviest Supra. The base four cylinder automatic Cayman model is 50lbs lighter than the base four cylinder automatic Supra. The weight difference isn't in the chassis, it's in the engine. If you...

2023 got a bunch of suspension revisions that improved the rear end stability dramatically (theirs was a 2020 IIRC). It still has a garbage alignment from the factory, but a look at the Lightning Lap times for the car over time shows how much things have improved. I also feel like, at some...

You could use a Jackery to trickle charge the car without access to an outlet. Even a small one will run a trickle charger for several hours. The might even make battery powered jump packs that can trickle charge, but I've never looked. Doing this once every two-three weeks will be plenty. I...

I hope they don't base the next Supra on the N platform (IS, RC). If they do, it's inevitable that the car will end up being a porker, just like every other small car based on a larger car. I like the RC-F, but it's really an American Muscle car built by a Japanese company - big, heavy, comfy...

I knew you forgot they existed.

There's no chance a next gen Supra lands as a 27 model year. The typical timeline for modern brand new car is 5-8 years. Keep in mind that C8 Corvette started development at the same time as C7 (if you ever hear engineers for Corvette mention they worked on C4, C5, C6, and C8, this is why)...

The four-pots are starting to be listed by dealers for low 30s. I'm pretty sure most 2.0s will end up either clapped out or B58 swapped.

I was on Toyota's site yesterday and they have the 2025s listed, but no special edition at all. I don't think they plan to do anything for the US market. IIRC this is the only year the Supra didn't receive a special edition.

Their designs also need to last through the warranty period, meet emissions/environmental/fuel economy/NVH requirements, be straight-forward to manufacture, work with their assembly lines. Any aftermarket part that's a cheap performance gain sacrifices one of those metrics, usually...

The BRZ/86 has a surprisingly footprint (area between the wheels) for what it is. The difference in wheelbase between the A90 and 86 is the difference in wheelbase between the 86 and Rav4. The 86 even has a longer wheelbase than the A80.

I guess the big question is what generation Celica will the Mk8 be modeled after. The RWD Mustang competitor of the A generations, the FWD/AWD T generations, or the ultra light (2400lbs) FWD of the 7th gen. If it's RWD, it steps on the toes of the 86, if it's AWD, it competes with the GRC, and...
