Kind of proves my point when certain other people try to debate by even arguing with themselves and inverting the meaning and contexts of their own words. Carry on. |

LOL strongly at your earlier statement that anybody wanting a Toyota Supra should buy one and put the badge on it. The two cars do not belong in the same discussion even to try and make a point.

I am liking the Supra, a lot. I just can't get past the automatic. I also just bought a 2020 86, which I really like (it's green too!). I wonder what the next 86 will bring? I don't think it will be near 250 hp bc of the 4 banger Supra at 255hp. Time will tell.

The desire for a majority Toyota-built Supra stands regardless of whatever you believe is the flagship product, as its name holds weight to many people. I'm sure people would complain about a new Toyota MR2 being a rebadged Porsche Boxster. Ultimately neither you nor I will ever know if Toyota could build a Supra by themselves without resorting to contracting another company to build it for them for 50-60K. It's rather idiotic to assume you know better than a car company about pricing (as evidenced by your C8 bashing) and I'm ashamed to have even entertained your asinine arguments to begin with. |

We'll see. There's a lot of concern that it will be nothing like the current gen. Whether that is a good or bad thing remains to be seen.

I was one of those guys but I am loving what it's got. I guess when you're older and you start to have knee, gout, and other lower body issues, it's fine. I dont plan on tracking my supra so I'll never know itd full potential but, man, I'm in love. We all just need to appreciate the car for what it is.

Why would they be more transparent? They do not owe explanations to anybody. They employ thousands of professionals to analyze the markets and determine what the majority want and what they will or will not build. Unlike the internet experts opinion that the companies are all just dumb and there is one guy in a dark room making decisions there is a rather complex science to it. A vocal minority is still a minority no matter how much they scream "BUT I WANT..."

just because they make rational decisions doesn't mean they can't make an attempt to explain it to the irrational...

Doesn't answer my question. Why WOULD they? what possible benefit would there be to it? The dissenters would still dissent. The speculators would still speculate. The internet "experts" would just say it was bullshit. There is zero value to a company, ANY company, explaining why they do or do not do what they do. They have their reasons for every single decision and explaining those reasons to a bunch of people that won't listen anyway would be a huge waste of time and money.

I agree that the 4 may not sell well = buying opportunity for owners like me who live and drive on mountainous two lanes. Add the Safety and Technology package, performance brake pads, a downpipe back exhaust, better tires (PSS lack rain grip compared to other category rubber I used at track and auto-X on the FR-S) and call it good for probably <$40K by year-end. Better mpg than the 6 and cheaper insurance that's already reasonable for the 6, only $100/year more than I paid for the FR-S, so the 4 could be less. Here's another write up from someone at the launch with interesting Tada-san quotes. This thing is on my radar now and I'm not a hairdresser. http://www.superstreetonline.com/fea...-toyota-supra/ |
