Looks about how we all expected. Can’t say I’m surprised that they still haven’t released any performance specs. It’s definitely not going to be anywhere near GTR specs, just a little above 370Z. It’ll still be fun, but you won’t see me trading up.

I think the current renderings are pretty close, based on the test mules and now the GR concept. I’d say the vents in the front bumper will be toned down but I think the sides and rear are spot on.
I hate the front, don’t mind the sides, and I like the rear end. The front looks like they tried to modernize the mkIV headlights to make them fit the new car, tried to design the front bumper to match the new Camry’s styling, then gave it a bulbous nose for no reason whatsoever. I guess the nose is supposed to emulate a Formula One car? I guess we still won’t know anything for sure about the car for another month. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

I like the looks, only question is if it'll have a manual or not. Which I think it's best to think of the new Supra more as the beefed up FR-S/86 everyone wanted more so than an actual Supra successor, but if they give enough engine bay room to throw in a 2JZ then I guess you'd kinda get the best of both worlds in that regard. I'm just happy that Toyota is actually bothering to make cars that're fun again, and at the end of the day I think that's something everyone can agree on. Who knows, maybe a shared 4C or Evora could be the next MR2.

Yay BMW reliability... Haha! I'll quote what my dad said (automotive technician for about 40 years). "I hope it's not some s hitty BMW with a Toyota badge on it." "BMW's inline six is nothing more than an oil leaking boat anchor." Hahaha!! -------------------- 2000 GT-S 6 SPD... SOLD! |

One article I read quoted Tetsuya Tada as saying that even though the Supra/Z4 will be built in a BMW factory, they will not be like the Toyobaru twins and that the Supra will be much more Toyota.
https://www.topgear.com/car-news/geneva-mot...ight-six-engine That being said, the Supra is traditionally powered by an inline 6, and who makes those besides BMW? So who knows, we might get an oil leaking BMW engine that got Toyota’s direct injection then detuned. Only time will tell. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Wish this was strictly a Toyota project. I hate the fact that Toyota has to go to BMW for this to shave costs. Like Toyota fashion, it's got a nice ass LOL.

I think i just saw, it was announced, it will be auto only. but I guess auto trans has been getting better and better these days. just not as fun as a manual. Who cares if they're faster, and it's stupid because the Z4 WILL have a manual option. So there's no reason for it not to be an option on the Supra. #TheStickMakesItBetter -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

I know, but any kind of retort acknowledging it just makes it look like I'm trying to hide something so meh took the high road and responded literally.
Though I could've responded with something to the effect of, "So what if I prefer to play with a stick than a slushbox?" -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
