-despite most parts having a BMW logo on them, the Supra is exactly how Toyota wanted it to be, both mechanically and styling. Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s because of BMW.

-the turbo Supra mark 4 was 40k USD in 2001, 70k in today’s money. The new Supra is a bargain compared to the old one.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone being critical of the new Supra blaming BMW. Toyota screwed the pooch, not BMW.
