Turbo engines in JDM cars are common. USDM always reserved turbos for the "performance" level cars. Even the JMD S13 received an underpowered, but peppy, CA18DET while the US got a 2.4L SOHC engine from the pickup. I'm excited to see a Supra in person, I'll take one out for a drive for sure. Spend plenty of money at the dealership, even bought my BRZ used off their lot. Test drive shouldn't be any problem. |

I'm liking the 4 door supra render. If they did that, but made it a toyota, I'd buy one for sure.

But the Supra's proportions are totally functional and not for "appearance". No way for a 4-door or 2+2 version without substantially lengthening the wheelbase by moving the rear wheels way aft, which would redistribute weight to the front and also add a fair amount of weight and also likely reduce chassis stiffness. Big big compromises for a sports car... |

Not to distract from future 4-door convertible dualie pick-up Supra discussion, but I just finished the latest Car and Driver.
I'd like to thank whatever software engineer at Toyota allowed for brake-throttle overlap in the tuning so us left-footers don't get screwed by the safety sense BS for people who can't drive. Arrigato!! |

Honestly, I just can't get past it's looks. I just think if it had any other badge on it (say GM or Ford) it would be in the "Aztec Ugly" class of car. All personal opinion of course.
