Wheelbase 4 inches shorter than the FRS, which puts it at 97.2"? Geez, no wonder there are no back seats. I hadn't been paying close attention to the numbers but I really expected it to be closer to Corvette size based on the photos. The lines make it look deceivingly long.

I really hope the side mirrors are on the doors, like the mk4. Most Toyota's are going that route too. The way that it Is, it reminds me too much of a Bimmer.

The taillights remind me of the MK 1 Toms Taillights for the 86/BRZ a little.

I'd love to see someone do fender mirrors again.
Maybe not so far down the hood that it could be a pedestrian hazard, but surely we can do a power mirror that's maybe a foot down the hood?

Would immediately class up anything it's on.

That'll be hard with these really thick A-pillars these days and would pedestrian safety legislation even allows for that?

Soon cars won't have mirrors at all, just 100 small cameras everywhere.

Ever drove anything with those mirrors? In winter? In Canada? They look cool but they suck big time for actually seeing anything. Even in the best of weather.

Let's face it, reg mirrors can be annoying to see in some winter weather condition

Yep. So make that 100 times worse by moving them forward, viewing them through the windshield and increasing the blind spots.

Haha sadly, I've never been able to experience that.
But yes, I could see that field of view could be a problem. Can we put in a little triangle screen in there and hookup a camera? Probably - but it's probably too much work, and too much extra weight for something that is basically of aesthetic appeal only.

On a side note, when (if ever) will we get "invisible" A-pillars via creative use of cameras and screen technology?

Damn dude, that would be pretty awesome. Never even thought about something like that.

Also, I'm praying the production model of the Supra is wayyyy out of my budget. Or else I'll have to explain to my wife.. if Toyota makes a new Supra, you can't NOT buy it.. lol

Definitely wouldn't part with the BRZ though. I would probably get rid of my Prelude for space, and DD the BRZ at that point. I need to drive it more anyways, probably only have about 5k on the odometer.
