wish list for the supra: light weight, RWD, 400 plus hp, and NO hybrid tech.
In other words ..... An 86 on steroids. Cost: entry level corvette money.

Hopefully the next 86 will carry over the dynamics of the current car, that is being lightweight with a low CoG, great steering and easy to customise.

The MX5's got progressively heavier up until the ND, similar to the Datsun/Nissan 240Z/Fairlady which got heavier and heavier with each new model from the 280Z to the 370Z.

You can't call your car "JDM" anyway. It isn't. Unless you have a RHD one built for Japan to the Japanese requirements. Japanese cars sold in the US are USEM not "JDM". So many misuse that term!

I see similarities too. Plus, the mini pictured before, has the old grill. The new mouth is closer, like on the blue one I posted...

Hey, my "scion" is a subaru.

Well, JDM = Japanese Domestic Market, therefore anything outside of said market is very obviously not JDM, doesn't matter if it's the exact same car. Can't make it much simpler.

Look up JDM on Wikipedia, and you'll see such things as "these terms refer to Japanese-brand automobiles and parts designed to conform to Japanese regulations and to suit Japanese buyers", and "Japanese domestic market vehicles may differ greatly from the cars that Japanese manufacturers build for export and vehicles derived from the same platforms built in other countries". So, in more words than I stated initially, even the informative part of the Internet is saying U.S.-spec cars are not JDM. 'Kay?

Conversely, every Scion and Lexus in existence is a Toyota product, so you can most definitely refer to any Scion or Lexus as a Toyota, because it is. Toyota is the parent company, so every vehicle in every brand under its umbrella is still a Toyota.

The two situations are not similar enough to have an apples-to-apples comparison.

Oh dude you ain't seen nothin' yet! No insults or mud slinging. This thread is perfectly civil. Lock it and a new one will just replace it so best to just let it peter out in time.
