I never understood why there has to be a GR when thereās already a TRD, why couldnāt they just do this āGRā stuff under their TRD name? Make things simple.
Iām pretty sure, this has been flirted with.
But what do you guys think of Toyota simply reviving the 2JZ-GTE and completely rebuilding and re-mastering it and modernize it with todayās standard, even possibly squeezing more out of the engine.
And use that in the GRMN. Of course M/T as a...
Kinda asked this question on another thread and kinda wanted to expand on this and hear more opinions.
Basically a āwhat ifā scenario
And explain why!
Letās have fun
Guys! Thanks for participating! Letās try to keep up with the same number of pros and cons!
Recap so far:
Common pros: Exterior styling (?)
Common cons: no manual
So what are your thoughts as of now since the reveal of the MKV Supra? I'm interested to see what everyone likes and dislikes about this car from the buildup of the rumors to the final reveal of the Supra itself.
Let's see what everyone has the most in common (pros and cons)
Post a number of...
Lol.
Manual MKV Supra = Turbo 86/BRZ
(Not in terms of performance)
On the other note/poll though
Would you guys prefer the MKV Supra with a Toyota developed turbo inline 6 but Auto only or a MKV Supra with the given B58 with Manual
Iām an Alchemist, but there must be an equivalent trade.
PerformanceSound has been compromised. He was paid off by Toyotaās Damage Control Division to hush, and was forced to preach false hope with all his āI heard thingsā BS.
It was from that moment on, PerformanceSound was split into two personalities, hence creating Kaneda.
The red Supra will...
Haha! This was debated many times and has sparked many arguments between the members. But at the end, it all comes down to when the car is fully finished and revealed, then cast the judgments
I personally think itās exactly what you described, I think itās 98% BMW with Toyota making up the rest...
This is not Supra related, but I almost bought a MT corolla hatchback last month! Was gonna get the XSE with the optional wing! Seemed like a extremely fun daily beater car with practically
But I didnāt buy it, cuz there was a few things that I wish Toyota would add. And Iām holding it off in...
1. Will you buy the 2020 Supra as soon as you can? Or will you wait for the 2021? (Or later)
No, I will wait for a later model. Hopefully a TRD or GR variant.
2. What color combination will you get?
Black w/Black interior & Red accents
3. What will you use your car for primarily? (Daily...
@Galerion yes, we understand the business part. But itās how Toyota chose the collaborate with other companies.
In my opinion, this is how the Toyota/BMW collaboration should be done. Both companies work together on structuring the frame and underpinnings of the car. Same body design except...
@PerformanceSound Finally, someone who agrees with what I see about this MKV project
I mean, Iām pretty sure this MKV/a90 is gonna be a great car. Phenomenal, I guarantee. Iām pretty sure it will put a lot of smiles in everyoneās faces when they drive it. But this aināt no Toyota. Itās a BMW...
Aside from the physics between the GTR and a90
This a90 Supra isn't even in the competition or same group as the GTR right? It's competitor is the Z; 370Z
Right? Or am I still clinging on to the past? (ie: Supra & 300ZX Fairlady & RX-7)
Most likely, majority of 86/FRS/BRZ/GT86 owners eventually move on to different cars because of the power.
Obviously the car wasn't the right car for them. And they had no choice but to look elsewhere.
But there are some who appreciate the driving dynamics and the characteristics of the car...
If anything, we'll probably have to end up waiting for the refreshed/revised model of the a90 Supra to see the tradition 3 pedal manual transmission variant. So upon release, us here in the US will probably only have the automatragic option, along with other markets that is not Japan or RHD...
Yes I know, that's why I clarified in parenthesis, "in my opinion" about the % of ownerships.
I chose the 2GR, because I was just following the "history" of what the MK4 and the IS's and GS's had in the past with the shared 2JZ. Seeing how, the current IS and GS uses the 2GR, that's why I based...
