A lot of people really did refer to the MKIV Supra, the 300ZX, and the 3000GT as "Japanese Muscle Cars."

I never "got" the MKIV from a design prospective. It always looked like it was trying too hard, and reminded me of the Superbird, the front end just looked tacked on because they needed to extend the nose. I much preferred the II and III generations just from a standing there looking at it.

And yes, I know most people think I'm wrong.

I joke that my BR-Z is a family car because I have a car seat and booster seat in the back for my 3 and 7 yo

Actually, I've owned two MKIVs, and I agree. Overall, I liked the car, but the design was kind of plain, and the nose was flat and lifeless. The headlights I really didn't like, but the rear and hips on the car made up for the other aesthetics. Moreover, the car had huge aftermarket support, so there was plenty of changes that could be made to improve the look.

Found a few more pics.

Looks good. I'm really hoping this thing comes together with all the camo off. I feel like it will be this or a Cayman in the future, depending on how it looks and how it feels.

On another note, I'm wondering how many people are already planning on a 2jz swap.

I just noticed the Toyota and Supra badges are lined up in the middle. Odd for Toyota, right?
