It seems that with the A80 and A90, the release of the respective new generation Supra at those times have unofficially been the best predictor of a recession in the US. With sport cars already selling the least amount of units of any type of car, you add to the fact that Toyota created so much...

For those of you in California, have any of you looked into this vinyl license plate by License Plate Wrap. It's apparently a vinyl sticker that been approved as a pilot program in California. If this is legit, I wouldn't mind using this and placing the "license plate" vinyl sticker in the...

I owned a 2008 e90 335, purchased new, and let me tell you, that car gave me more problems than all of the cars I've ever owned COMBINED. I take care of my cars too. From low pressure fuel pump, high pressure fuel pump, water pump, thermostat, injectors, ignition coils, something with the a/c...

So it seems that the B58 in the Z4 is different from the one in the Supra. On page 375 of the Supra owner's manual, it refers to the engine as B58B30C. Does anybody know what constitutes the difference between the B58B30O1 and the B58B30C?

Has anybody looked into the spare tire that's mentioned in the owner's manual on page 318? Does anybody know the part number? The picture shows the spare tire with a bag. Does this come as a kit? Quite frankly, this looks very similar to the spare tire I bought from BMW for my E90 335. Wonder if...

I think most of us have seen the B58 teardown from the Supra but I'm curious to know how the Supra B58 compares to the one in the M340i. I know Toyota has said in the early press releases that they took the B58 and did their reliability and durability testing on the B58 and made changes to the...

I haven't seen anything about the recommend services and service intervals for the Supra. Can anybody that has purchased a Supra or that has access to the service manual post the recommended services? I'm curious to know if the Supra is following BMW service patterns where they basically say the...

I've never heard of this but I came across it last night and thought I would share. Apparently it's legal in CA and I guess it's a big discussion group on the Tesla forums. Check out licenseplatewrap.com. Apparently, it's basically a printed "wrap" version of your license plate that's legal and...

When you say "quite a bit more money," do you have any kind of idea what that may mean? Are you believing like $10k-$20k more or are you thinking this will push the car really close to $100k? Hopefully, if it's based on the B58, I'm hoping more like $10k-$20k more. Also, are you at liberty to...

I like it. I like the front of the Supra as it stands now but it just doesn't quite stand out to me like the back end. This front end now stands out and look great like the back end and that front end looks like it's all business. Interesting to see though that it appears to have fog lights...

I thought I saw in one of the video reviews where they lifted the trunk floor mat and I thought I saw that the battery was back there. Usually with BMW's, the battery is in the trunk to help with the 50/50 balance. I don't like run-flat tires. They're expensive and they're very harsh. I don't...

So the reviews are in and in general, they're positive which is a good thing. The last thing for me before I pull the trigger is the reliability. Obviously, we're not to learn anything about long term reliability from a track day but it was at least good to hear that none of the cars available...

I've gone through most of the reviews and articles about the new Supra and am very excited to hear that practically all reviews are coming back positives with some negative feedback on some things such as light steering/lack of better steering feel or interior feeling small and cramped and being...

I just read the C&D article about the performance testing being 3.8 seconds to 60mph and am excited to hear that but I also noticed in the article, C&D mentioned that although the Supra has Michelin Super Sport tires, they are BMW branded with the *(star) on the tire. Wow. All along, I thought...

I'm not sure if this has been discussed but curious to know if anyone has any information about the auto start/stop (a.s.s.) There's a button right above the Sport button and I'm wondering if it's like bmw where it basically remembers your last setting so if you turn it off, it stays off going...

DANG! That'll be like a $25k jump from the Premium version. That's a HUGE jump. For that money, I hope they're making the GRMN super special and what I mean by super special is that it's a competition killer like how the GTR just kills the 911 Turbo S. I don't know what car they'll benchmark for...

I wish someone would introduce a bill that would allow the consumer to choose for the front license plate (for states that require it) the regular large/fat license plate or a newly introduced long rectangular skinny plate like the Euro plates. I don't mind the large/fat plate for the back but...

That Sequoia is NOT at all the extended version of the Landcruiser. Two totally different trucks. Landcruiser platform is only shared with the LX570 and the Sequoia is based off of the Tundra platform and either way, it's not stretched like I was talking about like how a Suburban is the...

Do you know if this will be a next generation platform update or just a refresh update? Also, are you at liberty to say anything about possible new engine(s) if this is a next generation platform update? Maybe a 3.0 v6 twin scroll turbo or twin turbos?

Well, every manufacturer competing in this segment has released an updated car and has moved on and up. The competing models have gotten bigger with more features and more modern exterior and interior designs. The competing models from BMW and Benz have not only released their newest generation...
