That's true but here they are even more expensive. Supra's here costs from around $100k AUD. The cheapest Emira (new) is $200k AUD without options. While yes, it's not Supercar money, at double the price, it is well above Supra money and entering a much higher bracket.
It's interesting because the Supra in isolation is reminiscent of a supercar. It's not. Not even close but as I like to put it, it looks like it has breakfast with supercars. But.. when the Supra is parked next to an Emira, the Supra looks cheap. Yes, the engine is arguably better but when...

As far as I can tell, there are only three realistic options:
1. Get an MMI.. along with its non-touch limitations.
2. Install a cheap ass standalone screen.. along with its aesthetic and integration limitations.
3. Buy an iPhone.
This. While the Emira is a car that highlights the visual misgivings of the Supra, it is also the bottom rung on the exotics scale. The Supra's reduced cost works in its favour because while it can have breakfast with supercars, it's not actually pretending to be one.
