I don't either, truth be told. Seems all the hate is the lack of a manual, but I think that's more an excuse to complain :shrug: I think it looks really good and shows a lot of promise. With all the SUV's coming out every day it's really nice to see a new 2 door sports coupe coming out.
When I heard that the Supra was coming back I was a bit worried as a Honda fan. I thoroughly expected it to be a NSX killer -priced accordingly of course. It did not get built that way though. As a sports car I like it, and I like the auto transmission that can shift faster than me, the autos also work great with turbos. No complaints from me overall. GM has the world convinced that building cars is dumb, so good to see Toyota proving them wrong. |

When I heard that the Supra was coming back in recent years I thought it would be a NSX killer and priced accordingly of course. I like it, and I like non-manual transmissions that can shift faster than me, they also work great with turbos. No complaints from me on that.

I don't understand the "BMW engine" hate. (Especially from the uninformed who think the whole car is just a rebadged Z4.) I do kind of understand the styling hate—the concept looked great, and the Supra, while it's starting to grow on me, is more of an acquired taste. I'm still not a fan of the front fascia. I can also kind of see the "fake vents" hate, although it's somewhat better that they were designed thoughtfully with space to run ducts and such.

"Gazoo Racing". Really? Hard to take a name like that seriously. Was TRD not up to the task any longer?.

"GR" or "Gazoo Racing" are infinitely better than "T(u)RD"! Honestly I'd never drive anything with "TRD" plastered all over it. GR? Fine.

You sound pretty serious, you on the Gazoo racing team? :LOL:
not at all, I've just always been dumbfounded by Toyota's eagerness to plaster an acronym that's pronounced "turd" onto its cars and trucks! WTH... I know next to nothing about Gazoo Racing or GR and honestly don't see why a car that already has a name needs these added to it. But hell, they're better than "TRD"! |

Too expensive, too AT, too BMW...
The only car i'd move on to is a Boxster. |
I would not replace my S, looks better as a daily car (auto but still has serious performance and modern tech).
