I'm not going to sit here and tell you whether a Toyota made Supra would have been more commercially successful because no one knows that. But I do ask, what would you think if Chevy had a Ford motor in the new C8 Corvette because it would have been cheaper that way? Would it be forgivable because its a V8 anyways?

Who gives a shit about the damn door chimes? It’s a sports car. For everything that matters in one, Toyota got their way. It would be the same car in all the ways that matter except for price.
On a Ford motor in a Chevy? Hell yea I wouldn’t mind. They co-develop transmissions already so why not engines? The coyote is a better motor than the LT any day, but that’s besides the point really.
If these collaborations keep the cars us enthusiasts want around, I’m all for it. The Supra is the most exciting car on a BMW chassis in 10 years. I support it 100%. If it had a manual, I’d look past the looks and get one ASAP.
