Horrible thing to say but each one of those presenters annoys me in a different way and I never even clicked on the actual videos!

Demuro is a huge dork which is kind of charming once you get used to it and he goes pretty in depth into what the car is like to live with (how the doors work, storage pockets, features, infotainment etc.) Can't drive for shit though so don't hold your breath for any driving impressions other than "it feels pretty good" 2nd in the list of links, actually watching his review now, keyless entry is pretty neat idgaf about the rest |

This is really my only problem with the car and I suspect the only real problem anyone has with the car. If they didn't go through all this Supra fuss, I'd just say.. cool, a toyota hardtop z4. All the 'problems' with it I've see on the internet stem from either supra heritage/expectations or that people feel Toyota is insulting them to try to pass this off as a supra. |

I must be out of the loop or something. What do people expect from a car at this price point? Isn't the performance on par with other cars in it's class? It's not like the Supra was ever supposed to be a hypercar or something. It is certainly miles better in many ways than the last generation Supra.
What am I missing here?

My only real complaint is lack of manual transmission. By the numbers, I previously complained about it's power output but apparently they're being insanely conservative there. So I rescinded that one.

That new Z4 is kind of growing on me... If toyota was able to influence this to be more reliable than most modern bmws maybe I'll get one..
If only they made the Z4 in a hardtop... |

The MKV Supra would need to be a $75k-100k car or more to match where it once competed. The MKIV and MKV have the same MSRP, but are being sold 25 years apart, so it is apparent the bar was lowered for the Supra. No longer is the Supra competing against the GTR or NSX. This is hard for some Supra enthusiasts to swallow. This was compounded by the fact that the car isn't a pure Toyota sports car; somewhat of a slap to the face to Supra purists. This is most apparent in the cabin, which will most likely feel like a BMW and not like a Japanese/Toyota sports car. At the same time, other enthusiasts are happy. They get to buy a new Supra at a fraction of what a "real" MKV Supra would cost, with performance that should exceed the MKIV Supra in almost every way, and for them, the car is enough of a shadow of the cars of the past that they are satisfied. These general car enthusiasts are just happy they are getting another Toyota developed and tuned sports car. They understand that Toyota knows how to create a driver's car, even if all the parts aren't coming from them. For these enthusiasts, they will take whatever they can get.

^why is it not relevant? it out performances your $90k+ LC500.
the Supra competed with cars like the 300zx, 3000GT, and RX7. even back then it was priced like $20k less than the NSX. A80's pricing was a little high because of the of rising yen. the car was cheaper in Japan, hence why they sold like x3 as much overseas. |

Mk1-Mk2 Supras were Celicas with bigger motors stuck in them. Affordable sports cars (cheaper than Corvettes or Porsches) that punched above their weight, the Mk5 is a return to form. |
