The new Supra - who wanted this?

People get too two tied up in heritage. From what I can gather the last Supra was nothing special save the fact that the engine took mods extremely well. This new Supra seems fantastic with the exception of visibility. I've owned three BMWs with the inline six. I bought the 135i because of the engine. Even in stock form the n55 in my 135i was awesome. I'd love to have that N55 in my s2000. No, the engine is not perfect. The oil filter housing gasket thing has troubled BMW forever and that sucks.
Fanboys need to stop. Get off your high horses about this collaboration. It's been made very clear that if Toyota didn't collaborate with BMW this car would never have happened. Would that make you happy?

Exactly. Imagine Honda brought back the S2000 with Benz drivetrain/parts with a Honda badge.

Here's a clue on what it's terrible: Honda wouldn't need to go to anywhere to find a capable 4 cylinder engine to power a S2000 remake.

If "The Matrix" 2 and 3 were never made, most folks would be a lot happier.
Ditto Season 8 of Games of Thrones.

And yes, no BMW involvement, no new Supra. Get over it, move on.

Having sad that, while you had to watch GOT or Matrix to find out you didn't like it and made you less happy, you don't have to drive or buy the new Supra. The most that people will have to endure is having to see one once in a while on the streets.

This looks like a good place to drop this off I'm still digging the simple and elegant classic looks of this over the new one, its proven to age very well and that says something. I think the new one has a ****ed up face.
