My biggest pet peeve is that it will be made in Austria by Magna Steyr. Even with BMW designed parts, that it is not made in Tahara or an equivalent (if there is such a thing) Toyota factory is what makes it simply a rebadged frankenstein. Not interested in something that expensive being outsourced. The made-by-Subaru 86 I could stomach but even the 86 has typical Subaru problems. Lord knows the quality of Magna Steyr products. The MKIV Supra's materials and and problem free quality was a huge selling point for me, as it is with most people that buy Lexus or other high end Japanese cars. The whole value proposition of a Japanese car is thrown out the window with this Austria business.
