While I wouldn't buy a B48 powered car, toss a good tune on it and it'll blow the doors off any stock Supra that isn't the current 3.0 in every metric.

They will sell piles now and by this time next year you will be able to pick up the repossessed ones for a song at the bank auctions.

Infact, we could improve its performance as a cheap commuter car by giving it a less powerful engine. A cheap commuter surely doesn’t even need 200HP, which is just unnecessarily increasing fuel consumption. Next 86 only needs 100HP - think of the fuel economy benefits for this little commuter car!

If they would listen to the real enthusiasts and make it light enough it wouldn’t even need an engine.

The future is so hard to pick at the moment, employment for alot people is on a knifes edge. I've been holding off buying anything new since March, in the chance that we go down the toilet and there are bargains to be had. Same same for property.

well, not sure about others, but my only reason for not buying the 4 or 6 cylinder supra is "no manual". This is the only and enough deterrent factor for me at least.

Seems we're going to be stuck with minimal choices: Mustang (with renowned Ford quality), Camaro (days are numbered and it's a GM) and Civic Type R (it's a 4 door + Si is going away in 2021 but is supposed to come back in 2022 as a 4 door) Some of the other choices are over 50k:Corvette (mid engine is cool but a bit pricey for a future money pit), Supra (just a rebadged BMW), Lexus ES/RC/LC (barely under 50k if you don't want bells and whistles). BMW 2/4//8/Z4 (lease them/don't buy them). This sucks. |
