It is great that your dad's car is one of the major reasons that the Supra name was resurrected!

Fun fact: depending on what version and year GTO it is their 0 to 60 could go as high as 8.5 seconds. This means that you would have somewhere around a 1 in 10 chance of winning a drag race against one in a stock Twin.

$20,000 Dealer Markup
A week back, without doing any research on this car, I went over to my local Toyota dealership to put money down for this car. Just on the name alone. Supra.
They wanted $5000 for the reservation, then the other bad news, markup. The dealer wanted an extra $20,000. $55,000 for the Launch Edition was bad enough, but an Extra $20,000?! For $75000 I could almost get three twins! I got on this forum and learned about the car I was about to buy... a Zupra! A BMW Z4 reskinned and sold under the Supra moniker.. how sad. Now I’m looking into the 2019 Subaru BRZ. Better car, better price. |

The only issue, the one stopping me from really caring about it, is it a BMW, not a Toyota. In saying that I have no issues with my 86 being a Subaru. It's a crazy world, cats sleeping with dogs, stock markets not crashing.

TRD looks to be releasing a TRD GR Supra version or accessories in around 8 days from now. I wish I could read Japanese. I’m a TRD addict.
http://www.trdparts.jp/supra/performanceline.html Sorry if this has been posted up already but didnt look through all 39 pages of thIs post. Have to choose colour and trim for my GR Supra order with Toyota NZ in the next week. I’m still stuck on color as hardly any actual car pics so far.

Yeah, but I look more where and who built it, I acknowledge that Toyota did Q&A and were in on the design, as they did when Subaru was building the 86.
My point is I'm happy with the 86 being a mix of Toyota and Subaru because its a cheap car, hell, near on every part and panel on my 86 has Subaru on it, well apart from a few badges, there also has never been a 86, the twins are based of a few different cars. But the Supra, to me the Supra is way more than your average bang for your buck twin. It's a all Toyota GT car. To me it's like if Nissan and BMW made the GTR, it would loose its soul. Same same for that (edit Fiat spyder, fix it again tony, which is really a MX5, WTF, at least Fiat used their own engine and transmission. I believe it's all about saving money, Toyota has just tweaked BMW parts and now call it Supra, the engine is tweaked BMW, the trans is BMW, the diff is BMW, suspension, yeap BMW. Strangely enough I wholly approve of Toyota using Yamaha to design parts. Well, that's my opinion of things, and you know what they say about opinions. Hell, I'm sure the thing will be a weapon, just not one I would want though. I am looking forward to see how the new powertrain handles when people start throwing big boost at it
