You're right. Toyota did have their dark period. I'm going to use their best selling cars for example which I happened owned and I'm sure many on here have too. Both the XV40 Camry (2006–2011) and XU30 RX (2003–2007) were subpar when it came to quality. I think their predecessors were much...
Some people are wanting to do the same for the Zupra. :p
Agree, especially if it will just have a small price increase as suggested by some.
Idk, if it was your typical Toyota product I would say yes, but after having a hand full of both BMWs and Nissans the first thought that came to mind...
This! Why do people keep making these types of threads every 6 month or so. ?

So after saying it's apples to oranges to compare the IS500 to the Supra I'm going to point out one area of commonality.
Both cars are one last attempt to put a smiley on petrolhead faces. Enjoy it while you can boys. In a few years all of your cars will just be making buzzing sounds.
I don't think there is much of a future for the 2UR. The industry as a whole is moving towards lower displacement turbo charged engines, hybrids, EVs and so on. Regarding past models with the 5.0 I don't believe it was the engine itself that was solely the issue. As stated: GS-F overpriced, RC-F...
The problem with the "GS-F" was the expensive $85k starting price tag. Even the cheaper M550i out performed it. So far the feedback for the IS500 have been pretty good. I just hope Lexus learn their lesson and don't overprice it. IMO, $60k or less would be fair. I agree, I think this was just...
Because they have a vid of it revving and on the track? How many countless other products did they do that for? To each their own. I also factor reliability and resale.
I think they are underrating it. I believe the RC-F can do it in 4.1 sec via C&D test.
Unless you have kids and can only have one car. Note to self, never having kids. Wrap it before you tap it. :p
