The Supra was more on the boxy side in early/mid '80's , but by the MKIII ( 1987?) it got smoother lines, and pop up headlights ( NSX stole that ingredient)

That really should have been broke out into two total different Statements. I wasn't saying body style made the car but that they are both basicly the same set up. The body style reference was more in the line of the part where it was being said that the lines were not sports carish. There were many boxy shaped sports cars in the 80s. There were also many that looked very sleek. What I I was going for was that a certain body style does not mean sports car. Pretty much what you said really. The DSM line up is a good example of what you are saying. The first gen were pretty squared off and angular (relatively) and as they gained curves they went more from sports car to outright GT. We are on the same page I just wasn't clear.
