Saw a white LE today. Overall, it is a very striking car. Lots of design cues. A few negatives, such as orange peel looking paint, extremely ugly calipers (I would've never painted them red), and a mail slit for a view out the windshield. As long as they keep the cost in the 50's, it'll sell...

Nope, the week of the 22nd is the target.

After seeing the Supra in the flesh, it definitely reminds me more of the mid-90's RX-7. I saw no A80 in it. Getting back to the RX-7, I've always considered it the most attractive of the 90's Japanese sports cars. Even today, very few cars are as attractive as it still is. Too bad they had to...

The tach sweeping to the left is so wrong.

Just a quick note that I finally spied the Supra at the DFW car show. Per the wheels on the Launch Edition, I not normally a fan of the "murdered-out" look of blacked-out wheels, but these are really lean and light-weight looking. Adding that the rotors are very large and the calipers are...

Attended the show. Made a beeline to the Toyota area, and because they had their area so damn jam-packed full of Camry's and trucks, it took me way too long to finally find the Supra. Because that stand is the epitome of stupidity in order to evaluate a car, I had to come back multiple times to...

If a car review could be called "shallow", this would be the one.

My take is that is that this Supra is intentionally under-priced. I'm still shocked at the $50K number. You'll see a steady march of increasing prices as the years go by. This will include many "Special Editions". And if you're waiting to score used examples at clearance prices, be prepared to...

Purely painful.

My uneducated guess is that these TRD parts are functional. Getting a competitive Nurburgring time is personally important to Akio, therefore I'm thinking these racy bits will help the car get down to that magical 7:40 time that Toyota freely discusses. For me, I'd just as well see even the...

An item that I think both cars share is the uniqueness of the design. You wouldn't confuse a MK2 Supra with anything else on the road. The MK5 car has a front end design that is also unlike anything on the market. Also, the refined straight 6-cyclinder engine was unlike the typical "stove bolt"...

The Mark 2 was the model that really kindled my attention to Supras. Whenever I saw one, it stopped me dead in my tracks. That wing/spoiler, positioned over the back glass, was so revolutionary while the rest of the car was equally stunning. Even while the later generations added to the...

One last item that cements my positive thoughts about the car is the personal involvement of Akio. He is a bona-fide car guy. Maybe not born that way, he took the path of learning as much as he could from his test drivers and engineers. He wants you to feel like you are buying the fruits of all...

New to the forum, I'm openly declaring that I'm a fanboy of this car and am on a "list". Mostly a motorcycle guy, I've always gotten my performance "fix" from bikes. Cars have been transportation device for me. Till the new Supra unveiled last week, that is.... This car checks the boxes for me...
