Just think how pissed Jeremy Clarkson must be that Chris Harris stirred so much with one tweet. Lol.
I'm sure Toyota/Lexus COULD'VE built another car slotted between their RCF and the LFA to compete against the 911 Turbo, C8, 2021 M4 and 488, but a lot of us wouldn't be here as it would be TWICE THE PRICE of the current Supra.
Chris Harris' tweet ranting on the Supra was not because it was a bad car - he loves performance BMW cars - it's the fact that it wasn't a sole Toyota product.
Yes, we're just going in circles now, but...again... *NEW car*, *at or near the Supra's PRICE point*, there's hardly an argument for a better car without spending at LEAST $10K if not more. Yes, the RCF Track Edition may come to mind since it's a true Toyota-only product, but isn't it SLOWER than the A90, yet costs $96K?
Sure, the previous generations were the original Supras as they were solely Toyota products. Yes, there are many better performance cars out there that are more expensive (new only) or are at the same price point (used/CPO).
If Toyota and BMW wouldn't have agreed to build this car, we'd have to put it in the past like the RX7, MR2 and 3000GT and we'd never be discussing this. Gladly, they partnered up and created a fine sports car car. We will have to see what Nissan brings to the table with their new Z.
Maybe they could've avoided all the butt-hurting and not called it a Supra? Is the name plate the reason for all the bickering? Call it the Toyota Sphincter, for all I care, it's still a great NEW sports car for UNDER $60K. Lol. Who can argue with that? When every manufacturer is turning away from sports cars to build SUVs, I'm glad Toyota and BMW got together and boldly built this thing.
This isn't the 90s anymore, sadly. We, especially those of us on a budget, have slim pickings.
And that's likely what the LC-F **will** be.
