Of course it's not based off the E89. The G29 has closer dimensions to the E89 then the MKV does to the MKIV.
So does the MKV not share the same platform as the G29?
MKV
Wheelbase: 97.2 in.
Overall Length: 172.5 in.
Overall Width: 73.0 in.
Overall Height: 50.9 in.
Track Width Front: 62.8...
I have a feeling TRD will eventually come out with a "3000GT type body kit" but damn Toyota... how you gonna tease us with that silhouette though.
:rofl: Yeah and I'll get classified as a MKV hater. :fear:
Yeah, it is shorter and similar to the last gen Z4 Coupe.

Z4 Coupe (E89)

Overall Length: 166.9
Overall Width: 70.5...
:rofl: For real! Talk about another disappointment. They need to go back to the drawing board if that is the best that they can do. Back in the days, TRD delivered real shit.
TRD Type FT wheels are 6 spoke JDM Wheels pictured on the bottom Toyota Supra pictured. Produced by Rays Engineering...
Must be? It's a full race suspension and def not factory height.
Even in the low quality video, you can see the how much shorter the wheelbase is compared to the MKIV, even the rear bumper is chopped on the MKV.
This is from Allen @ Elmhurst Toyota on SF and will def affect the U.S market.

This is like any open forum. Love it or hate it, this is the place to for anything MKV.
I’ve already linked the numerous other car forums were there was more hate then love.
Meh is what I also feel. Very basic and if this is the best Toyota can do, that’s pretty sad.
I wonder if TRD is going to release a wide body kit.
Those wheels like the Sport Design wheels for the 997.
Ben Haushalter: So when we developed the car, we weren't necessarily putting both vehicles together, from a development standpoint. We developed the [Supra] from a holistic perspective, so that the engine is balanced to the chassis, and vice versa. We feel right now that the 335 [horsepower] and...
Pros:
1)It will help broaden the aftermarket segment for BMW vehicles
2)BMW's quality will improve
3)MKIV's will appreciate
4)More competition
5)BMW depreciation
Cons:
1)No manual transmission
2)Since it shares the Z4 frame, it lost 5.5 of length. Not by choice but by default
3)No 2+2
4)No...
I've never owned one to know. I thought about picking one up now that they depreciated to less than 10K to beat around the track.
As far as quality, they're built like a typical Subaru vehicle. Yes they are manufactured in FHI but I can see the quality difference between, say an 86 and a...
You still believe that crap? :lol:
