Scratch that. Looking at it from different angles in the video, it sticks out from the bumper.

They are not "protecting the Supra" they are making the car they started out which was a low power NA not a turbo supercar. How is beating the MX5 "clearly" a goal? Who says they don't sell well? Are there piles around unsold? They sold all they made every year so they met plan. That is selling just fine. Let's not mix planned low volumes up with poor sales since they are two radically different things.

The first gen BRZ and facelift models looked like their own car. This one looks like a Ferrari, Porsche and RC-F in just the 3/4 front view. That should be a complement right? Maybe it will grow on me, I didn't like the twins when they first came out and now one sits in the garage. lol
I like everything about that new engine. 2.4l 13.5:1 compression. Its going to love bolt-ons and E85. I learned my lesson with first year cars with my 2013 so I don't see one in my future as well as the fact the V8 RC-F chunky boy is calling my name. |

Did you read anything beyond the headlines of those sites? How a failure? They didn't sell Corolla volumes? Can you show me they wanted to sell Corolla volumes? ALL sportscars dropped in the last few years. Check out Mustang sales. They always said that they would never turbo this car. It should not have come as a surprise to anybody that they didn't.

Anyone else notice that they increased wheelbase by .2 inches? I wonder which axel they moved.

Looks are subjective, of course, but I'm sure the performance of this new version will be much improved!
Like others have said, the design feels... off. Maybe it'll grow on people as it ages as people tend to not like refreshes at first. I'd be curious to see what the aftermarket will do for the much maligned front end. No helping the fundamental shape of those new headlight units though. From some angles it looks great (rear three quarter, profile) from others (front, front three quarter) it looks ungainly. The rear end looks like a Honda Accord mixed with Lexus RC-F. The front looks like a weird impression of Porsche something-or-other. On the interior, the new seats look fantastic and that dash design reminds me of the Toyota MR2 Spyder. I'm still trying to decide if that's a pro or a con... The digital gauge cluster seems like a checkbox the marketing department demanded be checked. Digital clusters tend to age quickly and this isn't a fancy enough one to really be excited about and runs counter to the "simple and affordable sports car" ethos of the car. Mixed bag, really.
