Would be happy to have that theory debunked though.

Gotta wonder which one of the wingnuts from here referenced it.

That just mean it's not perfect yet. The 86 will be a perfect car with more power. Around 300 HP like the Porsches.

Adding a factory turbo system, with a warranty, just means more $$$.
How much are you willing to spend on a new turbo 86? The Supra 4-cylinder starts at around $42k. |

Since when does it need 300hp to be perfect? Most twins I see are stock. It is a fun cheap commuter car if we are being honest.

What if due to Covid19 Supra 4 cyl sold for ~ $40k? (not far above $30k US)
Would that quiet the no turbo complainers? Probably the most vocal wouldn't buy a Supra still. Or they'd lament BMW...

OK, so you're off the list lol. Personally, I'd jump on it, except it would have to be my year round daily.
My only apprehension is Toyota gouging on parts as they do here compared to Subaru dealers. Stung me once on a starter motor I smoked (my fault, story) And also Toyota's inability to attain best competency on BMW cars. Then, there's the insults from arrogant service manager, Klaus. lol I joke, I joke!!
