Oh def Supra will do fine. 90% of hates are coming of US. I've read few other countries reviews and overall impression have been positive. It's kinda funny in that view. Cuz back in '11~'12 when they found out this car (86) gonna be 2,500,000yen (base) w 200ps. Hater member went berserk for it's not turbo or have 300hp. Now same shit is happening again w Supra announcement. They get +300hp car, but they're still going berserk cuz it doesn't come in MT AND engine is from BMW. I bet you, even Toyota made Supra from ground up, these ppl will still bitch... even though they're not gonna buy it to begin w lol

Yes they would whine. I have said in the couple of threads that if they had built the 86 the way so many wanted it would have been pretty much the Supra right down to cost.

Oh totally! Easily mid $40k and you know what they gonna bitch? "It's so expensive!"

In the end, they want 700whp turbo inline engine w MT that made by Toyota and Toyota only from ground up that cost less than $20k brand new.

I'll take one. When do they start production? Motoring.au should be announcing that they heard it from an insider any minute now.

Ya know, I will never understand that about people and the 86. Look at it, sit in it, adjust the seat, drive it around the block - what you see and feel is what you get.

Well that was given. It also has to be perfectly quiet inside, have all gold plated fixtures and a $5,000 HU. The tires need to be sticky when they want but break loose with perfect transition and the exhaust needs to be exactly 94.9 decibels so it is legal in California.

You forgot, when you push the "Race" button, exhaust will open up and it'll be 3x louder

I am going to by a Supra and swap a boxer engine into it. Should be able to do it in an afternoon for about $500 shouldn't I?

Given it has a straight six, should have room for a boxer 12...
