lol your post was funny to read, g. I do agree with you on this point though. Regardless of the excuses, Toyota whored out the Supra nameplate to save some money. Don’t get me wrong, I like the car and plan to buy it but the BMW should have been called something else.
I don't know what your obsession is with the V35A but this isn't the engine to put Toyota on the "performance" map. I would argue that the 2UR-GSE is a better sports engine. Just to keep things really simple for you, please review the rough specs of each engine below. Even as a "mid-tier" BMW...
I’m being dead serious, you need to come back down to Earth with your expectations. Toyota has nothing up their sleeves. Toyota has no answer for what Porsche is doing. The Supra, although made to compete with the Cayman, will never be the Cayman-killer fanboys wished for. Toyota and Porsche...
No BMW engines planned for the IS refresh. Will continue with current engine offerings with a possible IS500 using the 2UR-GSE. Unfortunately, this does not appear to be an F model so unlikely to be a track-focused trim.
Bro, you have some crazy fantasy ideas. Please continue to take all your...
I am convinced that Toyota/Tada has little say in the development or progression of this platform. BMW wears the pants in this relationship. I am also in favor of less complexity. All we need now is a manual transmission in the A90. Even if we never get the S58, I'll be happy with the B58...
One can only hope that Toyota can put two and two together. It will definitely be a hit. Supposedly, the new 400Z will be on a revised Z34 chassis so it's strong point really is offering a MT vs the A90.
I'm no A70TTR, but this idea rivals MAGA conspiracy theories. Really outlandish to think that Toyota would develop a whole new chassis just to have a widebody A90. Toyota wouldn't give you a $10 solution to your wind buffeting issue. Let that sink in.
Glad you're ok. How much you pay the guy driving the truck? He deserves at least a 12 pack of Guinness for helping you get out of a MY20 and into a MY21. :)
Dear Axix23 and friends,
Please accept our apologies for any rectalgia you currently suffer. Please tell your boyfriends to take it easy on you next time.
Sincerely,
Akio Toyoda and Tetsuya Tada
Toyota doesn't owe anything to the 2020 Supra buyers. You got what you paid for. The 2020 Supra is still a fantastic car. Don't see Porsche owners whining like this and they have to deal with a much more expensive purchase with so many more iterations within a given model.
Toyota wants to up...
You do realize that the 2020 Supra has 330 RWHP which translates to approximately 385 HP at the crank. This powerplant is far superior to any current Japanese 6-cylinder offering. The 2020 Supra is respectable for what it is.
From the reviews, it appears that the 2.0 Supra is just a budget version without much advantage. That 200lbs weight savings was not significant in driving experience as expected. The 2.0 Supra does serve as a nice bridge between the GT86 and the 3.0 Supra. I think the price will also reflect...
Agreed. It's the mentality of cheap MFers. Like everything we buy, we pay more than the cost of the materials because it costed someone time, money, and energy to think about a problem and to design a solution. Whether or not the solution is a good one, that's a different discussion and up to...
This is gonna get a little heavy....it's like if you were infertile and you gave your wife to your friend to make a baby for you. Is there no shame in that? If you cannot do it on your own, maybe it is better to be without. Especially from an Asian company/culture where pedigree is so...
I hate that Toyota sold out the Supra name without shame. However, I agree, BMW probably did a better job making the Supra than Toyota could've done by themselves. And why do people complain about the BMW interior? Have these people sat in any current Toyota product (not including Lexus...
A 215whp 3200lb car is only "better" than a 330whp 3400lb car by pricetag. You make it seem like the 200lbs saved puts the 2.0 Supra in Lotus Elise class. Regardless of trim/grade, the Supra is not the car if you're after lightweight sports car. Again, you want a Supra but are looking for...
Sounds about right. Gonna be hard to improve on the next-gen 86/BRZ with the WRX and 2.0 Supra creating a ceiling. The current car is excellent for what it was designed for so might as well continue with more of the same. Will be more evolutionary than revolutionary, that's for sure.
You...
