@justbake You (and many other mk4 owners/fans) are getting up in arms because you believe the Supra is still Toyota's flagship/Halo sports car. It's not, and that really is the simple crux of it.
The Supra was not on the horizon when the RC was engineered, and @KahnBB6 is completely right.. the RC would have been a horrible platform mate for it.
I had a whole epistle thought out as to why things make sense being done the way they are, but.... not going to waste words. What's done is done, and I think the Toyota sports car lineup and performance car market is and will be better off for it. The Mk5 in half a year of US sales has already achieved about 1/4 of **all** Mk4 US sales over it's entire run.
Can we get back to talking about the GR Yaris and it's awesome drivetrain now?
