The leaked front and rear of this new Supra look really good. I think this will be a very nice looking car.

Please forgive the sacrilege but this holds more interest for me than the new Supra. I hope this is the next offering.

A miata is also like $28,000 if you want one with a LSD, and then you're still stuck with a convertible car with barely any storage space that doesn't even have a glovebox.

That sound isn't coming from the tranny it's simply fuel/ignition cut when shifting. BMW could and probably already have implemented flat shifts on their manuals which would make that same stupid fart sound.

It wouldn't be a value-in-its-class thing. Just avoiding a fugly thing.

I'm not sold on the rear end either.

I don't mind the front on view.

I can see way to many cars/outlines in its design.

If that is what it looks like you can keep it.
