Same boat here. Would have been even nicer as a liftback too, but the rear seats were a deal maker. Being able to fit two extra passengers in a pinch works. Main reason why I didn't consider a Z or S2000. I'd probably be in an evo without the FRS.

Well there was the entire IROC racing series that used Camaros. I owned an '83 Z28 (purchased new) and always enjoyed driving it, but really it was more of a highway cruiser than a mountain pass car. That's why it's garage mate was eventually an '85 MR2.

Obviously the FD had its flaws...
But the MkIV was more muscle car than sports car if you ask me. It was heavier than V8 Camaros/Firebirds ffs, and nearly as nose-heavy. Also it looked like a potato... |

BTW I can't find it but one of the magazines (Car and Driver? Motor Trend?) had a great comparison between the Supra, FD RX-7, MR2 Turbo, Corvette, and maybe something else. Also regarding the FD RX-7, I make fun, and the car had plenty of ridiculous issues with reliability and build quality. But to be clear I love that car and what it stood for when they built it. So fun to drive, and I'm a huge fan of rotaries. |

I owned one for a while. It was a 93 NA (also had an 89 turbo) and I never considered it to be a sports car. I considered my Datsun 280Z and Fiat 124 to be sports cars. The Supra was more of a GT car in my opinion. It was solid, relatively heavy for its time and kind of wallowed when pushed hard in the corners because there was a lot of weight in the front and shocks were on the soft side. I sold it after about 6 months. This was 1998. Three year later F&F came out and the price of Supras started to shoot up. LOL, story of my life!

I'm liking the upright greenhouse and broad hips the more I see it. The front is funky, still. But it also looks like it wants to be a convertible. Something tells me that it could be in the cards eventually. Lexus doesn't have a luxury convertible and I think this would be a good candidate for a bit of a luxury redesign with a big, predator grill.

It wasn’t borderline anything. It was a GT car. It pretty much always was.
