He is beloved here by many 86 fans but with the Supra, the spot was even bigger. Unfortunately the Supra went from Legendary to most hated car of 2019-2020.
It isn't what he said that bothers me it is what is reported that he said.
Was there an error in translation?
Was the comment out of context from the rest of the conversation? This is a big one!
Did he misunderstand the question?
Did he even say the comment at all?
Was there some journalistic liberties taken during editing?


I have an almost pathological distrust of any journalist from a website that depends on clicks to make money. They have far to much interest in getting those clicks so stories are often of dubious quality when it comes to real information. Now, whoever the "insider" was that was updating the Supra forum they were almost bang on the money with everything they said.
