I must be the only one who is opposed to a new Supra because I fear that Toyota will never get it right as they did with the last one, especially if they intend to use a BMW powerplant.

Completely subjective of me, though. I love the MKIV Supra. Didn't learn about it in The Fast and the Furious though.

Don't get me wrong, I've driven in both old supras and r32-r33's and they are great cars, and fun (also loved em before FF series lol). That being said, I don't have the finances to own like 5-10 sport cars so I only get to choose one, based on budget, performance, look, etc I much prefer my supercharged brz to anything supra/skyline related..... Although I would take a gen 2 mr2 if there was one that popped up for sale in good condition and not too expensive (like that'll happen).

I actually prefer the mk3 supra if that make sense to anyone (although I would like to specify that although I prefer the mk3 I would only spring for one that has the 1jz(so japan model) or had a 2jz swap) because although the 7m can make good/great power, they are not very reliable when boosted to high hp amounts.

People praise the MK4 supra like its gods chariot.

Don't know any Supra owners who didn't love them. And I know every generation owner. I really wasn't a fan till I met a friend with an mk4. They are pretty bad ass lil cars but they are heavey
