^I believe you meant the GS400 in the late 90’s. I had that car, and it was certainly a beast for its day back when the Lexus brand had a competitive spirit. Was also faster in a straight line than a handful of other respectable cars

I didn’t see this anywhere, so I thought I’d post it 2021 Supra 2.0 Quarter mile and 0-60 times inadvertently revealed by C/D in a review for the RAV4 Prime https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a33028735/2021-toyota-rav4-prime-xse-by-the-numbers/ That’s pretty good for a 4cyl. Certainly a...

Maybe I grew up in a different era, but some of these YouTube guys don’t impress me with their car knowledge at all. Some of their analysis is contradictory and inconsistent.Yeah, I get that they get to drive a lot of cars, but things they decide to pick out, comparisons they decide to make...

My initial reaction is disappointment. If you’re going to carry cover the powertrain just like that and give it a styling refresh, my question is why not just cancel it like they did the GS? It’s sad that Lexus still doesn’t have anything as exciting as the 2006 IS350 or 1998 GS400 as far as...

Yep, almost as annoying as people who always bring up the C8 when they see a Supra (or sometimes, any sports car for that matter). Almost.

This is a sad ending to a car that was once at the top of its class with the S160 when it debuted back in ‘97. And it competed with the (now legendary in the eyes of some) e39, so it wasn’t like the S160 was competing with some random chumps out there. I felt that Lexus just stopped giving a F...

I used to say that it doesn’t matter for a sports car or even a fast car. Even if no one looks at MPG, I will say that it does make a noticeable difference between a car that gets 15mpg and one that gets 22mpg. I have two cars, one gets ~22mpg and the other gets ~30mpg. Whether or not I feel...

No confirmation for me neither. sent the link to a friend and looks like they ran out of posters already. That’s funny, for a car that everyone hates on, they sure ran out pretty fast:rolleyes:

Couldn’t somebody come up with a spoiler that doesn’t look too thick (Seibon & ekanoo) but at the same time, actually lines up with the body AND the rear trunk lines?:( It doesn’t have to line up with the whole trunk because of the nature of the body curves, but at least the portion visible from...

Article is uninformed and humping to many conclusions. Writer lives in a small world maybe? I live in a Top 20 media market in the US (on the west coast) and I can tell you that I have seen no Supra’s on the road (seen 1 Z4 only), and there are currently 7 listed in my area, and none of them...

Yep, not surprising. A lot of us car people tried to say this but people thought we were haters. It’s the way it is for any car, whether it’s a Corvette or a Nissan Sentra. The most interesting thing about this car will be the interior. The Corvette has not really been known to have the best...

Sometimes when I read this forum, I think I am on corvettec8.com instead of supramkv.com:dunno:

Exactly Once upon a time (when they were new), rental grade cars like the Chrysler 200’s were selling like hot cakes and production had to be ramped up to meet demand. If you wanted one when it came out, it was marked up. Remember the PT Cruiser? Those were so hot that you couldn’t find one...

What I found most interesting from that article is actually this part (which I wasn’t aware of) How would you guys feel about a 6 figure i8 based MKV Supra?:eek:

I just hope everybody who is hating on this car actually goes out and buys a C8 (or a Model 3, or a Camry for all I care). That means Supra’s won’t be on every street corner and it means you can get a sweet deal on one pretty soon. Of all the people hating on this car and pumping up the C8, I...

One way to increase popularity of manuals in general... IMO, it is on all stick shift drivers to teach their friends, family and colleagues how to drive a stick, and educate them about the pluses and minuses of driving a stick shift car. Taught a long time colleague how to drive a stick this...

I don’t think many people here would mind at all if Supra were sold at below invoice due to competition. In fact I like the sound of that as someone will will buy a new one anyway :) Maybe bad for Toyota, but as long as I get mine:D I also hope I don’t see one on every corner like a Mustang...

Anybody here from Sacramento and getting an LE car from one of the dealers in town? If so, do any of the local dealers have it in their showrooms yet?

Excellent stuff. I would definitely be curious about stats like these for other cars as well. It would’ve been useful to know when I bought mine last year. I did all of my research and paid $500 below invoice. Although I felt good about it, Perhaps I could’ve done better by knowing! Too often...

Thanks for the post. That’s really helpful stuff right there for anyone shopping for a car
