I'm not. I've had friends that picked the 86 over the Cayman. Cayman is faster and does everything technically exceptionally well, but it can be perceived as quite boring and uninvolving for daily use.
Many have picked the Supra over the M2/4 simply cuz those are less refined for daily driving and feel less balanced, etc. And the Alpine isn't even available here, but if it were I'd take one plus a Supra over the price of one 911 anyday.
Also, when was any generation of Supra the 'Halo' car for Toyota/Lexus? Maybe for kids who watch bad movies. The 2JZ has been in everything from a Cressida to an IS300. In what world does Chris Harris think a $50k sports coupe from Toyota is meant to displace the LFA, LS, or LC as Toyota's flagship products? Dollar for dollar after inflation, the new Supra is even cheaper than the A80 was when it was released originally.
I think there's quite a bit of reality distortion field around the Supra name.
