Overall, I'm a bit disappointed. I feel like they missed the mark yet again. For the given horsepower and weight I would say the price is about $5000 too high. Given how small the car is, why is it so heavy?! Only 100 lb lighter than the considerably larger BMW M3? Seems odd. I want 3 pedals so this probably won't ever be a consideration, but maybe I'll test drive one at some point. Feel like I need to see one in person before making a judgement about it's appearance, but from the photos I'll say that the hood looks artificially tall. And regardless of seeing one in person, the non-functional door vents are straight up stupid.

And anyone saying that Toyota should have just modified the Lexus RC clearly knows very little about that car. The RC is a heavy mess, thrown together from bits and pieces of 2-3 other car models. It's the last thing you'd want to use for a sports car.

Altogether I have to say that this new Supra makes me appreciate the BRZ/GT86 considerably more that I did previously.
