Farewell to BRZ
After 7 years of driving BRZ, I decided to move up and traded it in for a 2021 Toyota Supra 3.0
Surprisingly dimensions are almost the same, but Supra weights over 500 pounds more. It is not as easy toss it around like BRZ, but almost 2 times more horses under the hood compensate for that. I actually like Supra's brakes more - they feel as good as in Mazda RX-8 I had before BRZ. I always felt that BRZ brakes are somewhat weaker than they should be even using TRD pads. Supra though not cheap, is a good deal - you are getting BMW Z4 with hard top for $10K less than original. Even my wife agreed with that. |

Congrats. Hope you are happy with the move. It's got a lot of interesting styling bits, not sure if I like it or not. Time will tell.
But this is a BRZ/86 forum so I get to say I like the BRZ better...lol |

Really like how the Supra looks in person and I like it more every time I see one.
Congrats!

I was surprised at how....cozy the Supra is in comparison to the twins.
The Supra is actually kind of snug on the inside. It feels higher quality for obvious reasons but the BRZ/86 feels more spacious. And thats not counting the back seat space. |

That angle really gives it a 2000GT-look

for those that are interested, some dealers are letting remaining 2020 models go for as low as $45k.

Good luck finding one. Even new 2021 ones - need to order, and if you do not want "Premium", wait a month or two. But Premium price $56-58K is not as good deal as $52K MSRP for "Standard" 3.0. Plus Toyota now has $1500 discount from that. Compare that with Z4 that starts at $63K. |
