New Supra

Again, I hate most things, including fake vents. But IMO in the case of the new Supra, they're just not that big a distraction or detraction from the car's overall shape and proportions. Somewhat reminiscent of 240Z Unfortunately scaled up a bit...

I've pretty much decided its proportions compared to the FT1 concept (which Toyota totally could have retained) are a real let down, and overall its proportions and looks are about as sexy as a RX8 and ferocious as a new Miata, which isnt saying much.

While I like the RX8 a lot, it's proportions are entirely different from Supra.
Short-hood, mid-cab, longish wheelbase with driver positioned in middle, rear wheels shoved way aft
vs
Long-hood, cab-rearward, short wheelbase with driver sitting just in front of rear wheels. Classic FR 2-seat sports car...

With as much hate as the NSX gets for being teased for a long time, at least the production version looked extremely similar to the concept (actually better if you ask me, with the added/enlarged functional vents, better wheels, etc.). Whereas the FT-1 Concept looked like a Tinder photo of what the production new Supra used to look like on its very best day 10 years ago.
