The new Supra is not a 'Supra' regardless of what the PR/Marketing papers say and the letters on the back lid have spelled out.
The car is a modern interpretation of the 1960s 2000GT. The car should be called a '3000GT'; however, Mitsu has that name, so Toyota was out of luck and resorted to the "Supra" moniker.
If we, all of the enthusiast car community, get over the fact the car is called 'Supra' and think of it more as a 2000/3000GT, then we should all sleep better at night...yes?
Some will argue that Toyota would have disgraced the 2000GT name by making a successor out of BMW parts, but that is what is being said/happening about this "Supra"; so does it really matter what Toyota called their car? Everyone would still be in conniption mode because the car is 85% BMW (and no manual).
I'm not in the market for a $50k car, so I don't care what it's called. But, to me, this car is more of a 2000/3000GT, in name.
Will Toyota's own RC300 F Sport and RC350 be the most direct competitor to the "Supra"?

Dear SoA, what petition do I need to sign to bring the LeVorg 2.0t 6spd to North America?
