I feel there will be strong aftermarket support for the tail lights. They shouldn't be too hard to swap out.

Yes, people need to learn to accept both of these:

- This will not pick up where the Supra left off, very unfortunately. It has it's own niche, hence the 86 talk.
- Also, the MKIV Supra was an incredible car for it's time, and for today's standards as well. One of the things people overlook because of the ZOMG POWA of it, is that the Supra was also a killer in the handling department to boot.

Indeed it was, overshadowed by the fact that the 2JZ was just an endless void of potential power gaining.

Not just the Mk4 either, both the Mk2 and Mk3 Supra's were top-in-class in the handling department. It was one of the traits that earned the car the moniker "affordable porsche".

Hurts that so many people forget that. In objective terms (Slalom, Skid Pad, etc) IIRC, the MkIV would best everything out there barring the FD3S. Smooth, fairly easy to handle and modulate with the throttle.

Hopefully they realize while driving behind the Supra that it is 10x more gorgeous than the concept...
