If not then the Caymen will become the second car. Still trying to figure out how to get the golf clubs in the Caymen. I will say though that I know what I am giving up when I sell the FRS and it will be a tough day for sure.
Price will be a big factor. If I could have a supra or a good second hand cayman... I’d go cayman.

As for the clubs - strap em onto the passenger seat.

Spy shots after spy shots. Is this the most tested, the longest tested vehicle ever? Or maybe just the most followed.

seems pretty normal to me and we still have at least another 8 months of more mule pics...perhaps due to its history the Supra has had a little more coverage/hype than what we saw of the 86 mules between 2010 & 2011.

But to be fair, the Aussies get kinda fucked when it comes to car choices and pricing..they don't get the Camaro or Corvette and their base 718 Cayman is nearly double the price of a Nismo 370Z whereas in the states the Porsche is only a $11 K premium, or an extra 25% above the 370Z's USD MSRP.


Though to make matters worse, at least for the folks down under, since the MK5 Supra will be built in Austria, I am assuming it will end up getting a ridiculous price closer to the Cayman. feels bad man

The Nismo 370, hideous as it is IMHO with that big round booty sells for $50K in Canada + tx.

A Supra (not downgraded to 200 hp range) at that price should sell decently if the packaging and overall vehicle hits the target. Expect pricing to go significantly up if packaged like BMW for the upgraded highest spec model.

I can still smell the fire and smoke. Reminds me of Yakiniku.

I actually thought it looked pretty good.... back in 2005....
The 350 looked good - but as they added "flair" to it in successive generations (up to the current bloated catfish), no thanks...

Exactly. The 350Z's design is clean and has a single straightforward design language. Good proportions, no unnecessary vents and scoops and swoops. The 370Z doesn't know if it wants to be a 350z, a 280z, a 240sx or a Maxima. Hell it's not even sure it wants to be a Nissan!
