I agreen with @ZDan
4300lbs!!!! Good lord, might as well be driving a friggin Challenger. What is the deal with Lexus making 2 sport coupes that weigh ungoldy amounts??? How about making a coupe ~3500lbs with 400+hp, I'd buy into something like that. |

They don't make a 3500lb one with 400hp because that is not what they are into. Simple as that. If they made a 3500lb one with 400hp all the people that wouldn't (couldn't) buy it anyway would just say it should be 600HP and weigh 3000lbs. We are comparing apples to cantaloupes when putting these up beside the 86.

Won't have enough power Will have the wrong engine Will be too loose Will be not loose enough Will have too many gadgets Will not have enough gadgets Should have been shaped like X Should have been shaped like Y Doesn't use good enough oil Should have been $20,000 cheaper

The Supra will never be able to live up to the hype that surrounds it. If say the odds are reasonable that this car flops. I sure hope it doesn't though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It's a beautiful machine, hampered by the spindle grille's overuse amongst most of Lexus' lineup.

LC > FRS/86
A lot of reasons but you're really comparing a grown up car to a boy racer car lol. I enjoyed my FRS but at this point in my life I'd take something sporty, quick, quiet, smooth, sexy, luxurious, blah blah blah you get the idea. |

I've never understood the hype for the Supra, honestly. It's a cool car, and it has some nice lines, but people will wet their panties when they see one going down the street, and I'm just sitting there like........what?

As somebody who sat in and rode in that exact vehicle multiple times as a kid, I get it...Flashy, cool noises, quick... But I still don't see the hype. There are other cars that are flash, make cool noises, and are quick.
