I think the Supra would look great with the right aftermarket bumper cover. That's really all it needs.

I’m a fan of the new Supra, given the constraints (self imposed) Toyota faced, it’s a terrific car. Personally I don’t think it should have been called a Supra, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a really good sports car. Especially the updated cars with more power. I’m not a fan of the decision to offer a 4 cylinder model.
As far as styling, I think they look awesome in person. It looks athletic and ready to pounce. Cars should evoke emotion right? I think that is what Toyota was going for. And they wanted to make sure it was unique compared to the Z4. The interior is also a nice place to be. It might be generic BMW stuff but they make good cars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

All personal preference. I don't care for the look.

Front is meh, back is nice. I heard they have good power, handle well, but not as playful as 86.

I hated the frumpier proportions compared to the FT1 since Toyota decided to ditch the +2 seating and I really struggled with liking the way they blended the door into the fender/hood/A pillar whereas it was done perfectly on the FT1..
And so I was totally prepared to absolutely hate the thing after getting a chance to see it in person but boy I was wrong I think they did a wonderful job and so it really hurts me that there isn't a manual in the 6 cyl... |

It's got that weird, bulbous Dodge Viper look which is another car i've never thought looked good. The side windows deviating from the flow of the roof line looks odd to me as well.

I rolled with one for a few miles today and from some angles it looks great, when you come up on it from the back and as you pass it ( ) the rear end and shoulders look aggressive and like it wants to rumble. Then you get to where you can see the vents and your heart sinks a little. When you reach the front and the hood bulges up and more vents appear you really start to wonder and when it's in the mirror ( ) the overly busy front end ruins it. Like with all of the recent Toyotas there are way too many different angles, even though they're soft and rounded there are too many. The window line not following the roofline is disconcerting and the hood looks like it has air underneath puffing it up.
Overall it's just blah. |

IMO, I think the new Supra looks pretty cool. The front fascia looked strange at first but now it's grown on me. The body lines are also more pronounced than the BRZ/86. Maybe some people think they're too pronounced, but sometimes I look at my BRZ from the side and wish it looked a little less... plain. Guess I'm all about them thicc fenders or something idk.

Not surprising since they made a few hundred of them and they were home made in the thousands.

Seriously? Never seen one of those. Not a bad marketing move i guess if it helps it stand out from the crowd.
