  1. Why I'm NOT Hyped About The New Toyota Supra

    I agree with your sentiment but I have to disagree with your logic. If the car sells i think it will only make them more confident that raiding the BMW parts bin was the right choice. After all the Toyobaru twins are pretty much the same formula are they not?
  2. Why I'm NOT Hyped About The New Toyota Supra

    @PerformanceSound, did you ever figure out or has anyone answered your calls for who the "target audience" is for the MKV ?
  3. A90 Supra engines and parts diagrams (all) revealed!

    You might not like Jalopnik but Bozi Tatarevic is legit. No reason to doubt his work in my mind.
  4. Interviews with Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada

    needless to say that sounds like something someone having to say something they find distasteful or don't believe in. Regarding brakes, they are designed for factory power and i am sure will be more than capable. As for not having big brakes, if the car did, people would complain : "why do they...
  5. The A70TTR Dedication Thread!

    ok another question for you @A70TTR, stupid as it may be one of the things i admire about the new Miata and the Toyobaru twins for that matter is that when you pop the hood you see engine and not an ugly piece of black plastic covering everything up. any insight on what they are thinking...
  6. Let's talk about Colors

    haha, despite being fake news'd, i stand by what i said. time will tell... then again it's their "halo" car and being built in Europe so i'm hopeful.
  7. Let's talk about Colors

    Hell even I know *some* of the production colors too...black, white, silver, grey...ba dum tshhhhh...don't forget to tip your waitstaff. in all seriousness, it is not like Toyota is all that adventurous with colors even on some of the Lexus cars. I don't see them offering the color palette of...
  8. Why I'm NOT Hyped About The New Toyota Supra

    yes it was interesting to read again. I remember reading it the first time. Having driven a AT FRS a few years later it also showed me, in my opinion, how completely wrong he was in pretty much everything he wrote. Some of what he wrote is pretty dang funny too. That Toyota red cool-aid is...
  9. The A70TTR Dedication Thread!

    Here is another question for you @A70TTR, Every single dang time I see GRMN my mind thinks Garmin. Mainly because that is Garmin's ticker symbol on the exchange. My buddy at work who is a gear head but not a Toyota fan thought it was some tie in to have some double meaning for German for...
  10. Who can actually afford the new Supra?

    I can afford one. However, I will not be buying one as things stand. As a Supra fan I am still going to be interested in the launch but I will not be putting my dollars down for one if there is no manual. Period. I know automatic are faster/better/blah blah blah than manuals these days...
  11. Toyota Supra rumored to be offered with 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder base model

    Should they? No. Will they? Probably eventually yes. 4cyl automatic status symbols sell/lease very well. just ask BMW.
  12. The A70TTR Dedication Thread!

    A70TTR, i was in disbelief when Tada said market research said MKV buyers don't care about manual. I'm paraphrasing. But anyway, is this him just towing the party line because I just think that is BS. reminds me of a quote by one of those Greek philosophers : "Nothing is easier than self-deceit...
  13. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    i find your numbers don't make sense to me. I, for one, would be very happy with a manual RC-F and de-luxuryfied and lightened. that car is 100% Toyota isn't it? And I don't see that kind of car to cost 80K-100k? maybe that is a question for A70?
  14. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    Excellent voice of reason! for me i actually don't mind the numbers as much as long as it is not heavy. My two main beefs are no manual and BMW engineering. Nothing against BMW. I would rather this have been a 100% Toyota product not a BMW built to Toyota specs.
  15. 3rd gen G29 BMW Z4 (2019-202X)

    haha maybe but the salesmen should have plenty of practice by now selling a Subaru engined FR-S/86
  16. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    I think you guys are underestimating the dollar / yen issue in the mid 90's and the demise of Japanese sports cars. Just go look up what a Turbo Mr2 cost in 91 vs 95. That is all about the dollar / yen and nothing to really do with customer interest. Well of course the sales went down because...
  17. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    earlier A70TTR was pretty confident about the lower weight number. Sorry if this has been mentioned but maybe the weight disparity could be attributed to a hybrid system? would explain weight, cost and perhaps even targeting 911 as a baseline?
  18. New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

    can we please put to bed this notion that the safety nannies will not come with this car. Toyota has already announced that every Toyota will come with Toyota Safety Sense starting in 2018. my dad's base model camry proves it. unless y'all are talking about something else...
  19. The A70TTR Dedication Thread!

    Haha i know you jest but my dealings with the dealerships have been kind of sad. I recently helped my dad buy a new camry, we ended up hitting 4 dealers. Not one person in any dealership was hyped about the Supra. i live in a huge southern city, these are not small time operators and the lack...
  20. The A70TTR Dedication Thread!

    Question for you "insiders" regarding the Toyota Corp culture so this is a question for your insiders but i would welcome anyone that has a reasonable answer to post. for those of you that have an idea of how the Toyota corporate culture works or at least have been in it in some capacity, how...
