toyota has only recently started following this trend with the CHR and Lexus RX, however, their lineup mostly has integrated screens...the one you should be worried about is BMW, nearly all their headunits look like tablets grafted on...considering they're the only ones allowed to touch the...
I get their dilemma, they want their designs to be as "BMW" as possible but as a result they look so rehashed..they rarely step outside their own boundaries nor do they at least attempt to play around with the kidney grills. To be fair though, I think the i8 looks awesome and is a good sign for...
your list is all over the place..no way on the Z, perhaps the next gen, but the current one is closer to a pony car & 86 competitor but in reality it currently doesn't have any direct competition at $29 K but I also doubt the next gen would be priced higher than their Q60S..
the main competitor...
I don't see it. Just because there is one sweeping panel on one side of the tunnel and it once again has vertical vents (which most manufacturers use anyways) it makes it RC inspired? Guess I need to get lasik surgery as the only identifiable items I see are still entirely BMW.
..brand dilution was bound to happen the moment an economy brand teamed up with a luxury brand for a car with an economy badge..either way, it doesn't bode well that none of the Supra mules have featured a stick.
im a little confused, the first 2 pics show rhd but all of the mules we've seen thus far have been lhd..also how can you say that these new pics feature less bmw parts when even more of the dash is covered and the same bmw automatic gear shifter & heads up interface are still there? and where is...
..for the most part, yes....there are some colors which have been kinda exclusive for the 86/BRZ like the Hot Lava for Toyota and World Rally Blue for Subaru but other colors, like yellow, have been made as special edition colors for both models though not at the same time. Either way though, I...
yes it can be deceiving but there is nothing hinting that the supra replacement will be a 2+2...all the mule pictures merely show a shelf in the back which I assume is part of the liftback trunk kinda like the MK4's...yes, the space between the door and the rear arch on the MK3 is a bit small...
considering bmw hasn't let a single person from japan sit in the supra mules (at least according to all the mule photos we've seen) i wouldn't be surprised if all those little aspects are micromanaged out by the germans too
considering the different blues they've offered on the 86/BRZ, I would be quite surprised if they don't have a vibrant blue which is pretty similar to the mk4 blue that came with the last few model years...however, considering future production has no direct ties to toyota whos to say we won't...
so we're supposed to believe this partnership has resulted in Toyota using an existing (and rather old) powertrain and somehow it is going to gain 100 extra HP for the much cheaper Supra while the LC gets stuck with only 350 HP? :popcorn:
whether or not the LFA was considered a "halo" car and the definition of being a halo car are both quite subjective so that point is silly to argue..the LFA's goal was equivalent to what the 2000GT set out to do, they are technological and design showcases to move brand perception...never in...
what about the body is underwhelming? design or engineering? in a group of crazy styled supercars i like the cleanly styled lfa and i'm not sure what is better than a carbon tub? sure they could have gone midengine but the carrera gt already had that covered so the lfa being fr makes it in a...
wut lol...since you couldn't afford it, it constitutes as a loss..?..lol...it moved brand perceptions of both Lexus & Toyota tremendously and the LFA has quite the cult following...it was still quite the performer and not to mention it has one of the best induction and exhaust noises of all...
eh i don't think they are that conservative..honda at least kept up their si & type r trims throughout the 2000s, nissan & subie as you say kept their core sports models and even mitsubishi had the evo last for quite a while..dont forget their kei cars too like the s660..people like to say...
it is well priced especially for countries that have displacement taxes. imagine, if that 500h powertrain can move approximately 4400 lbs 0 to 60 mph in 5 secs, how quickly would it move something only 3000 lbs? everyone knows the hp figures are not the most accurate when it comes to hybrids...
