All personal preference. I don't care for the look.

Front is meh, back is nice. I heard they have good power, handle well, but not as playful as 86.

I hated the frumpier proportions compared to the FT1 since Toyota decided to ditch the +2 seating and I really struggled with liking the way they blended the door into the fender/hood/A pillar whereas it was done perfectly on the FT1..


And so I was totally prepared to absolutely hate the thing after getting a chance to see it in person but boy I was wrong I think they did a wonderful job and so it really hurts me that there isn't a manual in the 6 cyl...

It's got that weird, bulbous Dodge Viper look which is another car i've never thought looked good. The side windows deviating from the flow of the roof line looks odd to me as well.

I rolled with one for a few miles today and from some angles it looks great, when you come up on it from the back and as you pass it ( ) the rear end and shoulders look aggressive and like it wants to rumble. Then you get to where you can see the vents and your heart sinks a little. When you reach the front and the hood bulges up and more vents appear you really start to wonder and when it's in the mirror ( ) the overly busy front end ruins it. Like with all of the recent Toyotas there are way too many different angles, even though they're soft and rounded there are too many. The window line not following the roofline is disconcerting and the hood looks like it has air underneath puffing it up.

Overall it's just blah.

IMO, I think the new Supra looks pretty cool. The front fascia looked strange at first but now it's grown on me. The body lines are also more pronounced than the BRZ/86. Maybe some people think they're too pronounced, but sometimes I look at my BRZ from the side and wish it looked a little less... plain. Guess I'm all about them thicc fenders or something idk.

It's not that unique is an OEM option

Not surprising since they made a few hundred of them and they were home made in the thousands.

Seriously? Never seen one of those. Not a bad marketing move i guess if it helps it stand out from the crowd.

Um this looks 10000000x better than the Supra. I don't share your opinion on odd body lines, maybe on older Vipers, but not the recent ones.

Can't say I agree. Vipers all have that "broken frame" look where the windshield meets the hood. Like someone got all Bo and Luke Duke with it over a river.

Considering the fact I don't even like half the modded 86/BRZ's I see, with the cut up fenders, tacky obvious rivets, drift taped sideskirts, jumbo big "carbon GT" wings misaligned to trunk with no support, holes left unfilled and in some cases literally taped or STICKERED over from the removal of OEM spoilers...

I really don't mind the A90 Supra. It really grew on me when I saw it in person, especially in the right colors. That gorgeous teal/turquoise/whatever blue color in the right lighting is one of the best colors I've seen on a not-Porsche/exotic car.

Plus as with our cars, you can mod the shit out of them, or will be able to as more parts come out. I've already seen some guys change the fake vents to look better, put nicer wheels on, lowering springs, etc.
