But.. will this Toyota version come with turn signals? That's an incredibly rare option on a BMW.

The power ratings for the supra are a bit different than what the thing is rated as. I supposed anyone wanted to figure out how fast a 4 banger supra could be, just look up the mini cooper S. I think weight and power levels would be close. |

They just don't say anything until someone else actually does it and apparently everyone who actually builds a car does it completely wrong and ass backwards. |

I have not gone over to the Supra forum to see what the reactions are there but the ones here do not surprise me since many of the people whining do the same about the 86 for almost the same reasons. They want some magical unicorn car that meets all of their personal demands for less than it costs to make an appliance sedan and just can't understand why they can't have it.

Hey I had dinner with two guys that looked just like those two goofballs on Sunday!
Love the Youtube comments.

As an owner of a Porsche Gt4, I simply do not mind getting the Supra as a new daily driver. The design isn’t exactly to my liking but we love our new toys regardless. It always take me a month to warm up to every cars quirks that I’ve owned. My wife drives a modified 435i Msport with the Zf8 and that transmission is superb. I’m guessing the Supra will simply feel sportier with its sportier foot print and stance with a similar power plant = Fun. Won’t be as fun as rowing through your own gears but for the weekdays it would be an absolute blast.
Is it still a Supra to me? Not at heart no, but it still excites me. In other regards, the original Supra wasn’t all that pretty to me either. |

I think they should have just called it the FT1 then no one would have their panties in a bunch.

To me it's like taking a Ferrari and badging it Pininfarina just because they design the shell.

This, to me, looks like the Metal Gear Survive of cars: they're both products that on their own would have been fine on their own merits, but are lambasted because nothing about them come close to representing the name they're branded with.
I have to agree with the rest of the comments that the new Supra is only a Supra in name only, and personally I'm one of those who find this to be a poor addition to the Supra nameplate. Had it been called something else entirely, I wouldn't have minded it, and I'd rather have had Toyota save the Supra nameplate for a car they mostly built themselves, even if it would have taken even more years before that would happen. |

Oh good, so we agree that "all Toyota parts car" really didn't make much sense.
