Not much love for the first or second-gen Integra. Why is that?
Not much love for any gen of Supra but gen 4. Again, why?
Looks are possibly the biggest reason. All the early gens of those cars look... old. Including your favorite Supra. The MkIVPoopra, FD, 300ZX, and DC4 all have hot, modern-looking bodies.

Maybe it was a mistake to post the FB, but the FC gets tons of love, every conversation I have about 7's with people that have owned and worked on them has the statement "No you don't want an FD, get an FC".
Yup, third gen was a gem on the Integra, fourth wasn't as good and is a great example that cars aren't always better on the new generation.
Supra? Fast and the Furious and 1,000 horsepower 2JZ's.
You're right, how could I forget the most important quality of sports cars, how they look.
I specifically targeted 2nd generation sports cars with my earlier statement, so far the FC and Mk2 Supra make me eat my words and the Integra is a good counterpoint that good things can come in a later generation (same thing with the Mustang, although not a sports car).
You're right, loosing an edge isn't a bad thing, so is gaining performance, I think I need to stop my trolling with blanket statements for the day.
Cautious optimism kids, newer isn't always better is the thrust of my point.
