If not the New Supra, then what?

[greaseman]

Mazda posted a new video showing off their concept coupe. I didn't know until now but apparently it's now called the "Vision Coupe" instead of the "Rx-Vision". Do you think they're still developing that new rotary?

^That has been around for quite sometime. It has nothing to do with the RX. Its a 4 door concept previewing the next Mazda6 sedan.

In other news, looks like Mercedes wants a piece of the pie. It will probably also fill in the gap left by the SLK/SLC.

Too bad they couldn't shoehorn in that incredible-sounding V8 from the AMG GT...

No way it is going to happen.

Much less the one from the SLR

I guess the PROJECTONE will be their design language from here on

Can’t believe how many negative comments there are about the Supra.

I think it’s shaping up nicely and as long as they price it right I reckon it’ll be a great car. Perhaps underrated and facing some tough competition, but still different and interesting enough for me. Right now, looking around the only other cars that make me excited would be the boxster or cayman really.

Pretty sure I've missed this but I dunno if it's been brought up.

But How many of you consider the Sister car the Z4 as an alternative?

I do, but only due to local market issues: I highly doubt I can get Toyota to sell me a Supra in my country, they don´t even sell the 86! BMW on the other hand will 100% bring the Z4. I could import the Supra but it`s a real hassle, no warranty, and at least 50% over the price on US market. We will see.

50% isn't bad. Try 115%. On top of the cost price.

I know your pain. We never got the A80 - all were japan imports. Hopefully that's turned around given Australia is a pretty good market for performance cars.

Importing an A90 from Japan would end up putting the costs around 130k USD for me.... if 60k USD is the rough price.

do they sell Z4 in your neck of the woods?

Yeah we get almost every euro car now. We're the third biggest market for AMG in the world, with a population of 25 million in the country the same size as USA lol

The GT86 was a huge hit here so I seriously doubt we'll miss out on the A90.... but if we do, that'd suck.

The things we miss out on include weird RWD sedans from Japan (but can import due to RHD) and all of the cool USA muscle cars (I'd love a Viper, but they're a $200,000 car once here and converted to RHD). Although apparently we may be getting the C7 corvette now they've killed the rear drive locally made Holden commodore (Chevy SS I think you guys called it?)

Shame you guys didn't get our Ford falcon. You'd have loved it. RWD sedan with 350kW supercharged 8 or 330kW turbo six. Cheap too

 

[Chikane]

well you never know, things may change with the political climate here in the USA. We might get locked into US only cars or something crazy down the road. I sure hope everyone gets a chance to experience the A90 even if it's in Z4 form.
