    Mmmm... it's a funny looking car.
    I am sure it's a nice car, but it's funny looking. Of course the Celica/Supra models, over the years, were often kind of idiosyncratic cosmetically.

    The Supras were generally a bit better looking, as I remember them.

    The front end (more to the point, the grille) of the 2020 model is very Subaru-y, I would opine.

    Or Edsel-y, I guess, depending on one's perspective.

    Dyno testing of some of the Supra models being sent out to the press for review have been showing around 380 hp rather than the 335 hp stated. Pretty normal for a BMW engine to have slightly higher output than claimed but that's a big difference. Some of the dealer markup on these made in Austria Supras for pre-order is insane!

    I think the Z4 looks nicer with these body panels. I was hoping they could come up with something more original for the new Supra.

    It's not a Supra without a straight six in it built by Toyota.

    0-240 mph in 6 seconds. Ridiculous. People are getting 2,000+hp out of the 2JZ

    Years ago, I had a 1986 Supra like this (but with a solid roof):

    It was probably the sexiest car I've ever owned. I had to sell it when I started a family, and my next car was a Volvo station wagon :(

    To German to be Japanese and to Japanese to be German. A misfit if there ever was one.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.
