Reviews are in for 2020 Supra MKV preproduction car

[Jdmuscle]

The Skyline (Q50/Q60) may not be the flagship, it is still one of their most recognized cars

They only come with a in-house Nissan V6. Where are u seeing Merc in that line up?

hmm, I guess we're just going to overlook the LFA that came out around the same time. ok. not saying the GTR is a bad car, but the way you put it. It's like Toyota wasn't doing anything, but they were focused on their Lexus division.

Nissan gave us another GTR. Lexus gave us a Masterpiece.

Let's get something straight here bud, Toyota and Lexus (although under one bank) are two different companies.

Lexus brought us a marvel of a car, a one-off supercar....not a new Supra.

Toyota didn't bring us a new Supra, they brought us a re-skinned Z4.

So, they way I put it is not the way your describing it. Had Toyota badged the LFA a Supra, then ok....but, the LFA is hardly a Supra let alone a Toyota.

How do you do it? Lol

Which review said it’s ‘that rigid’? C&D says it’s nice.. smooth inline 6 and a few other things. How did you conclude ‘that rigid’ from any of the reviews. Please point me to it.

Yes, I’m happy about the after market companies having the access to have products ready. But.. this is a double edged sword. Toyota will void your warranty if you tune your car. Tada can say whatever he wants.. I just don’t see Toyota honoring parts replacements on Cars with ECUs that are tuned.

Almost every review mentioned the torsional rigidity being on par with the LFA, this was part of the press briefing at Jarama. I know for a fact the Lexus chassis is almost 2.5x as torsionally strong as an 86, which is an incredibly competent chassis itself.

Warranty stuff I'm not worried about bro, that's something we've been working around in every car for years, it'll be no different here. Hasn't stopped me from gleefully turning things up till they break.

In the 2.0T models. Where are you seeing only V6's in that lineup?

Ahh.. I haven’t seen their lineup for a while. Regardless. It’s not the flagship car. .. people lease them and throw them away. Begging for a motor on your flagship from another manufacturer is something entirely different.

Name another manufacturer that made a halo car with another manufacturere’s engine.

Aston Martin iirc it's an AMG engine
Pagani is the same I think
Alfa Romeo, under the same umbrella but it has a Ferrari Engine.
Mclaren
Audi R8

McLaren F1
Lotus uses Toyota engines for their Elise, Exige and Evora.

McLaren F1

Small boutique car company.. not the same caliber of things. Try again.

Aston Martin iirc it's an AMG engine
Pagani is the same I think
Alfa Romeo, under the same umbrella but it has a Ferrari Engine.
Mclaren
Audi R8

Aston’s used a version of Ford’s engines when they were under the PAG umberala.

Pagani / McLarens are small boutique car company.. not quiet the same as using a standard issue B58 from another manufacturer’s lineup. Try again

Audi R8 and the lambo counterpart are made by the same damn company. Much like the Supra and the SC of the past. Try again.

Alpha Romeo.

AR and Ferrari are under the FCA group. Doesn’t matter and it’s not the same and you know that. Try again.

Beg borrow and steal? No man.. you have a lot to learn about identity, honor and respect of doing your own.

Good point, however, Ferrari is no longer under FCA they've separated 2 years ago. The Alfa however I think was engineered before the split so cool.

Mazda uses Ford Duratec motors in most of their cars.

Name a source where it says Toyota begged.

But they never got their rotary from anyone else.. their own identity. Their own tradition.

Mazda was owned by Ford at one point. So it was forced down their throats.

Their flagships never used anything Ford.. example.. RX7, 929 etc. even then it’s not the same comparison. Stop. Just stop.

Toyota begged.. how else do you explain this? The only company that had an inline 6 back in 2012/13 time frame. If it were now they would’ve begged BMW or Benz for an in-line 6. Pathetic. BMW gave them a standard issue B58 series of motor. Not even their S series motors that are more
Suited for race applications.
