And just for fun, I've gone through some photos I have in my Camera roll of various Supras and 86s that I have owned over the years so you can make some comparisons for yourself. The last one is an EG Civic just for kicks, that thing had a B18 and a really big turbo, much faster than the Supra lol.

Indeed it did! That car was amazing because no matter how many times I went off on track, hit cones at autocross, or scraped on driveways it never looked any worse haha. I ended up totaling it, rebuilding it, and eventually selling it to my close friend who now also beats the hell out of it.

The A80 just looks so much better here...
The A90 is obviously disadvantaged by wearing camo. Not to mention that both car's proportions are being distorted by perspective and the focal length of the camera's lens. In any case, I think both of them are very beautiful cars.

For the Dimensions (Speculation only) its not the same, but the human eye may struggle to notice:
"The 2019 Toyota Supra will have 335bhp, 332lb ft and a 0-62mph time of 3.8sec, according to leaked statistics from Japanese magazine Best Car. ... If the leak is to be believed, the new Supra will be 4380mm long, 1855mm wide, 1290mm tall and will have a wheelbase of 2470mm. This is 140mm shorter, 45mm wider, 15mm taller and 80mm shorter than the previous Supra of 1993. At 1496kg, the new car is 14kg lighter than the previous Supra and 250kg heavier than the Toyota GT86. ".
So, the new MkV could be an evolutionary(as well as revolutionary) from the MkIV.

Here’s why:
-MkV is shorter than MkIV
-MkV is wider than MkIV
-MkV is taller than MkIV
-MkV has shorter wheelbase than MkIV
-MkV is lighter than MkIV
-MkV has only 2-seat configuration while MkIV has 2+2
-MkV will be made in Austria while MkIV was made in Japan
- MkV will use BMW components while MkIV used purely Toyota

I understand how, in America, bigger is better but 5 inches in length really isn't that much. Those 5 inches account for wasted/unnecessary space in the mkiv, such as the rear seat. Yeah you can tell from the exterior but its not like you're going to be driving with your knees to the wheel especially considering an additional 1.7 inches of width. Looking at the spain review pictures, it looks like everyone in those pictures had plenty of room. On the bright side, we could have ended up with a bloated car with a relatively small interior (I am looking at you Ford Taurus)
IMO cabin size for the driver and passenger are the only dimensions I care about in a sports car, this isn't a family hauler or a pickup.
