Go wreck that BRZ with $30K in mods. Have fun with insurance on that one.. or wreck a GT350 and get paid back MSRP or so. It's silly to talk about modified cars vs stock cars.

Point proven, the Supra probably took some inspiration from the 86, it's even roughly the same dimensions all-around as an 86, so it's going to drive like a boosted 86, give or take... |

Also, I've never liked the desire to point things like radios and such towards the driver in a car to the point where it is useless to the passenger. When I'm on road trips I usually have a "copilot/navigator" with me in the car that is responsible for controlling all things not directly related to driving. It's kind of hard when she can't reach them.

I get that this car is not what many are after (hell I wouldn't want one at half the price myself) but to say that anybody "fucked up" at this point just because it does not meet your personal criteria is a bit premature. Obviously the people that don't like the numbers, appearance, lack of MT are simply not who they were targeting the car at. Simple as that. Time will tell if they missed their target market's desires.

The center console of the MKIV wraps around through the dash and into the door panel. I'm not saying everything needs to be pointed directly to the driver and rendered useless for passengers. I'm just saying it'd be nice if the sculpting of the dash felt a bit more special than just a horizontal piece of leather slapped against a windshield

The rest of what I wrote clarifies that the first sentence was sarcasm.

the Zupra looks great for a 2 seater but gotta say I'm still upset that they decided not to have the +2 seating configuration....I just had a great time with 2 friends tagging along this past weekend in my 86...
at this point my biggest complaint is that they are using the same marketing crap on the Zupra as they did with the twins...."not about HP", all about driving feel and connection....but that is all totally lost in translation with their choice of only offering an automatic transmission! I don't get it...they wanted to answer the people's demand of an 86 with double the power so they added nearly 700 pounds, gave it a shorter wheelbase, removed the back seats and no stick. |

Wow... It has roughly the same dimensions as an 86, and 600lbs more... I had just assumed that it was a 2+2. Add that as the third reason for why I'm not buying this car This must be one of the most disappointing hyped car releases ever. |

Actually I was thinking more of general aviation aircraft where most of the "cockpits" are a flat surface with instruments thrown about it.
