The F355 came after the Testerrosa and was very popular selling 11k units with a few years of cross overs. The F348 sold 8.8k. F328 sold 7.4k. The F308 was before the Testerossa.

@ZDan ...
Thanks for the correction. I was quoting memory from an article, and in context, it doesn't hold as much water, but there are other examples that I could have used that show that cheap doesn't always equal volume. The Ford F150 outsells the small Ford Ranger by a wide margin. The same can be said about the smaller crossovers and sedans. The Corolla outsells the Yaris. There is an idea that there is an ideal utility or size. Similarly, for a sports car, there could be more value in the 3.0T for many buyers (depending on the price) and what someone gains in performance. It is probably one of the reasons why the GT Mustang sells so well (as a heavy sports car) alongside the lower models. https://carsalesbase.com/us-toyota-rav4/ https://carsalesbase.com/us-toyota-chr/

But damn I just always hated the Testarossa. We never got the predecessor BB/BBi in the U.S., that car was just gorgeous. Then they gave us a bloated slab-sided 3800 lb. Testosteroni. Yuck... |

Saw my first Supra today. Oddly enough it was in the used car lot at a Chrysler/Jeep dealership on my commute. 4,002 miles on it.
Must be an interesting story there. https://www.pauldingchryslerdodgejee...DB4C00LW025465

4 cylinder Guilia (280hp) can hit 60 in less than 5 seconds. 4 cylinder Audi A4 Quattro can hit 60 in low 5 seconds. WRX can hit 60 just under/over 5 seconds (depending on where you look). Are any of those cars really fast? No. A much better determination of how fast a car is is 5-60 mph.

I have to say, I'm not a fan myself. I wanted to like it, I just don't.

If the Supra 4 cylinder is only making 217hp/225tq there is no way the 2nd gen twin is going to get a turbo. Why would anyone buy a 4 cylinder Supra when you would get more power from an 86 for much less?

I didn't like it at first, but it has since grown on me. I like how the MK5 looks - muscular and organic.
I've always been a fan of car design. Most designs now are overly angular shapes (like the C8), almost a polar opposite of the jellybean-look we all saw in the early 90s. I prefer it to the MK4 design which to me looked like a Neon coupe on steroids. (But I was always more partial to the Z cars instead.) I think the MK5 looks like an evolved bigger brother to the twins - especially considering how many people (including law enforcement) mistake our cars for the "new Supra." IMHO, every car model should have some evolutionary visual affiliation with its heritage and/or predecessor if it's going to bear the same name. |
