In that context, given how it actually wasn't that iconic off the lot, more after the fact, then maybe we are being too harsh on the GR Supra. It's still fairly new and actually isn't getting as much a negative a reaction other than what I already mentioned: It has to live up to the Supra name and it doesn't come in a manual. Other than that, it seems to be a fine track toy (with some mods of course). I really don't understand all the hate. We don't have many options out there, everyone seems to be catering to the lowest common denominator of more power and 0-60 times, or lightweight cars with no guts (86, MX-5). I welcome a 300hp+, sub 3400lb car. Just wish it had a manual.

I don't necessarily disagree with most of the second half of your post. I feel I have been fairly neutral on the matter. Last edited by supra93; 02-18-2021 at 04:47 PM.. |

*That isn't a Nissan (i wouldn't buy a 370Z either, but it is literally all of those things you mentioned with a base price of about $30K) Back on topic, I also think the Zupra gets a bit too much hate, though i'm completely floored that they didn't offer a M/T. I'd have bought that car and not the M2 if they had put a M/T in it. |

Did the FT-1 concept look better... sure but, I do like the look of the new Supra. The thing I like is that Toyota made minute changes for reliability which would be nice to have vs owning the BMW version long term. If only Toyota diverged away from BMW with respect to the transmission choice. C'mon. Adopt BMW's DCT already and charge extra for it if you won't do a manual but, conventional automatics do not belong in sports cars!

It make sense for the EU and Japan with emission and engine tax displacement. However for the U.S. not so much imo. Toyota has only predicted a 20% rate for the 2.0. A TX dealer is saying no one is buying them. I think few places like CA seems to have less of an issue moving the 2.0s.
I think once the 400Z is release Toyota will either drop the 2.0 altogether, heavy discount it, and or revisit it with updates in-order to better compete with what Nissan is offering. |

That will be a while. Everything I'm seeing says the 400Z isn't likely to be released until late-2022 or early 2023.

They offered a non turbo in the MKIV, I assume this is the "lesser equivalent" to the new lineup. It beat the stock MKIV in the drag race and is roughly what, 200 lbs lighter? With a DP and tune, hell even a stuffed turbo those are going to be a force to be reckoned with.
Where I dont understand is the price point.. it should be priced well under the b58 car and it isn't. This is why they arent moving. |
