here’s the thing. i didnt hate them when they first came out — and I was a gen 2 and 3 celica owner that lusted for a supra… so not a fast and furious fanboi. these are are rare cars to see on the road and every time i see one, i’m excited to see it. furthermore, this car is starting to build a cult following and a strong reputation amongst track guys.
there’s no chance of getting this limited edition model, but i’m kinda maybe starting to think the manual GR model is very desirable right now. |

All that black flash trim with the winglets and those multi spoke wheels easily put it into the boy racer window.
Needs to be plainer and anyone remember silver 5 spoke wheels.. |

Probably stated many times in this 100+ page thread, but as a Toyota guy, I'll say it: sorely disappointed that the new Supra is not a Toyota product. A truly bizarre choice of "partnership" for Toyota for such a legendary car, which I promise will be reflected in the durability and depreciation years down the road...
I miss my 1993 6-speed TT....

It probably would have been a worse car if Toyota made it. It would have cost a lot more for similar performance because Toyota can't/won't build anything that's not profitable. Look how expensive the GR Corolla is for what's a $20k Corolla with an open deck 3 cylinder engine with no forged parts and the only part on it special is the ball bearing turbocharger. The AWD system is cheap system used by the old Matrix/Vibe that wasn't intended for sports car usage hence all the overheating issues. They certainly wouldn't be able to get away with that kind of cost cutting on a Supra and the reality is that if Toyota built their own Supra it would be a six figure car that likely wouldn't outperform the current Supra. I think people should be happy that the current Supra exists as it's a great performing car that look like a proper sports car.

I don't see anyone making the argument that the Mclaren F1 isn't a real Mclaren because BMW built the engine. IMO BMW is the best thing that happened to Toyota. If they built the car it would look like something a sorority girl would drive and make like 200 hp

Bottom line: When I shop for a Toyota, I expect reliability. When I shop for a BMW, I expect exclusivity. I don't want a BMW that identifies as a Toyota when I'm shopping for a Toyota. Just my 2 cents.

Lmao at the exclusive BMW shopping experience
Where the M brand is so diluted that you can get a S engine in a range Rover And everyone and their mom who buys M performance models use the SAME B58/ ZF AT and interior At least I can say the Supra is exclusive as you can not get any other bmw that is a 2 seater coupe with a MT They say don't meet your heroes and the MK4 supra was one of those Stock it was terrible, turbo lag, body roll , way overpriced that's why it never sold Before the Fast & Furious movies they were dirt cheap It only got popular due to the movie , the GTR and the NSX are both superior engineered and special cars The MK5 is vastly superior than the MK4 in every way I just laugh at the people who say it's not a real Toyota Thank God it isn't or we'd have something similar to the abomination that was the Lexus RC Frankenstein chassis 4200lb autotragic F car they tried to say is an M4 competitor using decades old tech and falling on it's face |

They could have done so much more IMO.
I like the look of the regular Supra. This AE edition is lackluster IMO

I think a lot of you guys are forgetting some key factors. The MK4 is expensive due to the rising Yen and the Japanese bubble in the 90s. A lot of high end to mid level Japanese sports cars also took a sales dive during this period, not just the A80. Case in point, Toyota sold X3 the amount of Supras in Japan than they did in the US. SMH at the F&F non sense, they were still relatively affordable until just a few years ago.

Oh brother, shame on me and more! I was the 2nd owner, car had been garaged and maintained with all records since day 1, it had about 75k original miles when I sold it, very few mods, practically showroom condition asides from the exterior bits and bobs
