Supra facelift discussion thread

[Captain_Kirk]

With all the patent leaks lately I wouldn't be shocked if we saw the LCI Supra before we're suppose to see it.

The teaser for the next BRZ just released today.

here is the 86's front bumper for those that haven't seen it. i think it looks a lot better than the goofy facelift they did in 2016.

The model is supposedly getting a 6 year run, so a face-lift would be in 2023 for the 2024 model year at the halfway point.

Came out in 2019 for 2020 MY

so:

2019
2020
2021
2022 (facelift)
2023
2024 End cycle

I am hoping to buy one in a year or two. What I'd like to see:

- Manual (This is a deal breaker for me. No manual, no care.)
- Targa top (Strongly want, but not deal breaker.)
- More colors (Specifically some oranges and blues.)
- Fix the wind buffeting
- Making most/all vents functional
- More of a track/special edition with an S58 and lighter/manual bucket seats that are leather and cloth/alacantara/etc.

The lastest from Bimmerpost.

G29 Z4 - 10/25 (LCI SOP 11/22)

Toyota will be a few months behind BMW so sometime in 2023 as a 2024 model seems plausible.

On the BMW side the two biggest complaints are the nose and the fake vents. This old rendering was a big hit over on bimmerpost. I think a lot of it can easily be incorporated for a refresh. Sadly I think Toyota will just rework the lights and call it a day.

End of the line is March 2026 according to @XtremeMaC.

That front end looks sooo much better!

this late in the game i think they would have already frozen the final design for the LCI. also i dont think we're gonna see a massive refresh like with the XV50 Camry or 3rd gen Lexus IS. past Z4s only saw revise lights and bumpers.

I wouldnt doubt if that is the case. Right after a car is released a design team almost start immediately working on a facelift. The reason is because even though the Supra debuted in 2019 the design was already locked in 2-3 years prior. So inorder to have a refresh version ready in 3-4 years from the initial launch work usually starts a lot sooner then most people think.

I can totally see Toyota screwing up the facelift like with the 1st gen 86 and actually making it look worst than the original.

Why not? Beside the active wing everything else looks like an easy fix.

Cuz of $$$$. Easier, cheaper, and faster to rework head and taillights than to revise body panels and actually make functional vents.

True, but I still have hope that there will more just new lights.

On a different note, remember how everyone said there would be tons of aftermarket support for those that wanted a "normal" looking front bumper. Two years later and there is like zero options.

What would a "normal" front bumper look like? Also how long is warranty for the Supra?
