Interesting that they say they will start taking reservations on 10/02 (so yesterday) in the European market, but the A90 doesn't even show on the US site as "upcoming car"

i was confused at what you were asking/saying. are you trying to say its odd that Toyota Europe is releasing more stuff on the new Supra? imo its because they are trying to hype up this car for the EU markets. sales of the mk4 were really bad for European market. on the other hand, Japan (largest) and the US (2nd largest) made up the bulk of mk4 sales, so i dont think Toyota Japan and USA are too worried about being awareness towards the new A90. |

No I was saying (at least according to the video) Toyota Europe was going to start taking preorders on 10/2, and we still don't even have a picture of the car on the US site. Maybe I misunderstood the video.

i see, well i still think its just a PR stun to build up hype over there. also maybe because the majority of the R&D took place in Europe?

A couple of comments...
First, Dude, don't you have someplace other than your spare bedroom to record? I have expected his Mom to walk in at any moment. At least use a green screen and stick in a background. That said, if I was making a video on this car, I would have said almost exactly what he said, except for the purchasing a Cayman, as I'd be buying the C7 instead for the this price. He pretty much parroted all the reasons I wouldn't be buying a BMupra (Bupra? Subrab?) Oh and as someone that loves my FR-S I probably shouldn't say this, but when did power become NOT part of the driving experience? Toyota needs to give up that ghost. I bought it on a $25,000 car, but not on a $60,000 car where all the competition talks about BOTH.

I can't believe that the first customer cars for the UK planned July 2019.. factoid picked up reading Evo's review of the camouflaged car, its CoG is lower than our Twins.. don't understand how..

I found it hard to believe too but that has been around for a while..
Car itself could be lower than a production Twin (monster truck gap has been pointed out more than once of the FR-S). Also it could be the same height and have a lower CoG based on weight distribution.

Don't know who that guy in the vid was but I hope "Supra is a BMW with badge engineering" is completely off.
The supra is going to need all the Toyota sport car design ability to excel in the 60k price class with cars like the Cayman, Corvette, and A110... |
