I have to say not liking the Supra's BMW interior influence though, its nothing like the old car that was very unique and had that trademark cockpit like instrument panel. It was bold but it paid off, it looks like they played it safe with the new model. Cant really complain because nothings wrong with it, but if its you new flag ship Supra try bring some of the elements of the old into the new.

Although the Supra is heavy it also has a lower centre of gravity then the 86 and reviewers keep talking about how good the rotation of the vehicle is in corners, if your a 86/BRZ owner who drives their car like it was meant to you know all to well what they are talking about, it looks like element of the 86 have translated into the Supra.


I don’t get the “lower center of gravity than an 86” stuff. Isn’t it only because the car is like .5 inches lower than an 86 from the factory? I imagine my 86 dropped 2-2.5 inches has a lower center of gravity than a stock 86 or Supra.
