Yeah weird wording and it kind of made it sound like the Supra had more space?

I suppose he's actually saying he had fun playing tetris with the luggage in the Supra due to its weird trunk/opening shape.

That was my take on it.

When are they going to put an actual sports car steering wheel in the Supra? The current one still looks like it came off a Camry.

I think they need to bring out some new and bolder colours. Maybe a hyper blue, an orange, British racing green, maroon. The standard colours have grown a bit stale - thank goodness for yellow at least.

The industry as a whole suffers from the black and white disease.

Driving around or looking at parking lots is like being in an old movie!

With the rise of autonomous driving, it'll include the green screen background effect!

Some are going further than that... the Lyriq is only offered in black and light-black at this point. It will be interesting to see on 05/19 when they open up orders for the non "premier" editions if there will be other colors.

I've got my fingers crossed for a nice BRG/Hakone clone.

Vent swaps have been around for everything but the door since day-1. Plastic and carbon options. Everything but the door. though TRD does make a delete piece.

But that means cutting into the metal bodywork. There have been videos showing that they aren't functional without other modifications.
