The big mistake that I see here is simply that Toyota named and marketed this car as a Supra successor. I have said all along that it may be a great car but it is so far removed from what was the Supra was that the name no longer applies.
Oh and it is BMW which I have always despised but that is a personal view and does not take away from the yet to be proven abilities of the car.
eh, to be fair 2JZ GT86 builds don't add nearly 700 lbs...then throw in the no manual it makes for a tough pill to swallow. I don't think this was what people had in mind when they were crying about the twins, at least it wasn't what I had envisioned..
