The Supra is for people who want "more car". I want LESS car! A lot less than the Supra...
For me, a REAL sports car should be more like an economy car than a luxury car. I.e., very little $$$ and mass budget spent on coddling people and making them feel like they're driving a bank vault.
The Supra is very much a coupe version of a sportsy BMW luxury 2-seat convertible, with all the added weight that implies. The FT86 is a "cheap" (in a good way!) rwd 2+2 coupe with good basic suspension setup.
What I would like would be a 2-seat FT86, a more cab-rearward car with better F/R weight distribution and shorter wheelbase (which would be lighter still!). But given the choice between the properly cab-rearward 2-seat Supra at 3200 lb at 51F/49R, and the 2+2 compromised 55F/45R FT86 at 2800 lb., I'll go with the Toyobaru over the BMyota...
