THIS IS NOT A SUPRA!!! I used to race the Supra in Need For Speed for hours when I was 9. This was my DREAM CAR! Now they've ruined my childhood. Worse than the Ghostbusters reboot!!1!

The marketing has been happening in Japan.The Supra Deserved a Better (more iconic) Launch
Marketing is my career and watching how this iconic car has been launched is so heartbreaking. This is the most exciting Toyota product and the most iconic Toyota brand...it deserved so much more than this piss poor launch.
Here I am, already having seen the car now multiple times in the past week and there's a countdown clock on this site to the debut in 16 days. THE CAR HAS BEEN DEBUTED now like 30 times. In camo. In games. In renderings. In GTR form. But there has been ZERO marketing strategy behind this car. Zero attempt to launch it properly and generate the right type of hype.
Look at how Dodge marketed the Demon. And Dodge is fucking BROKE and they were able to create more hype and fanfare for that car that any other manufacturer around. Now the Demon is a legend, not just because of the performance, but because of the lore Dodge created around the car.
The two HUGE enthusiast launches happening at NAIAS are this Supra and new Ford GT500. Both cars deserved an iconic marketing / launch strategy and they both have been given the most piss poor, lazy, pathetic car launches I've ever seen. WHY!?!??! WHY!?!??!?!
Think of all the amazing ways, the creative ways, you could have revealed the SUPRA to the world for the first time. Now think of how they did it. Is there not a single creative person over their at Toyota? Rant over.
Besides,no one knew the Ford GT was coming.^^ It won't. Ford won't have a second chance this time around. It's a completely different ballgame as well. The Supra will be the ultimate star of the show, and will be the one that everyone will remember and take away from NAIAS. Toyota and Lexus are not like Acura and Honda, these guys are worth a lot more than the latter two.
