So the engine is BMW, the interior is BMW, what part of it is Toyota?

Rather get a Z4 tbh. At least BMW up the horsepower to 382hp for the same engine.

we've been seeing renders and photochops for like 20 years, it's finally here
50k USD...better than expected
adjusted for inflation, this is actually quite a bit cheaper than a MKIV

This really got be thinking about how BMW and Toyota salesmans are going to market the cars to clients (Z4 vs the new Supra)
I couldn't help but to think about the above situation with this article in mind, a pretty good read: https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cul...old-by-idiots/ | |

looks way more faithful to the 1994 model than a new NSX is to the legendary NSX or the lateset GT-R is to the godzilla GT-R
Mazda just needs to bring back the RX rotary and the whole gang is back  | |

Honest question.
Why are people complaining about BMW switchgears in the Supra when that's also in a 80k M4.
Would you rather have Camry switchgears in the Supra? Like how FRS got Yaris switchgears.

Seriously, it may be just me, but I absolutely hate using the BMW switchgear. I rented a BMW X3 a while back and I practically have to fight the damn thing to move it into different positions. It was just so unintuitive to me, so if I ever touch a newer BMW again, it better be a stick shift.
As for the Yaris one, I love those. Super easy and intuitive to use and I never have to get in and figure out things, which is the whole point of an automatic transmission. Just make it luxury/sporty and we are good to go. Quote:

Mazda is a relatively small company compared to Toyota, Honda, etc., so money is even more of a concern for them. That, and the rotary's terrible emission doesn't help.
Not really gonna be holding my breath for this one.
Sincerely, an RX-8 owner.

the front does't look that bad with a license plate mounted, I see it somewhere on google last night, it's not bad.
Very disappointed it doesn't look like this, now the front looks like cleft lip  | |

I would've thought Toyota does their part for the interior at least if BMW is doing the driveline. This honestly reminds me of those group projects that you do where you have 3 people that did everything then the last guy comes in changes the font maybe and writes their name on the paper

i'm sure Toyota funded most of the project though
the 4-banger base model in Japan will be slower than a miata and 86 
why do companies do this? F-Type too https://jalopnik.com/the-lowest-four...-hp-1831734785
but yeah this is a seriously good looking BMW...wayy better than the Z4

I'm sure Toyota did their homework and it probably didn't make sense for them to sell a stock shift version.
Look at the m2 worldwide numbers.

I think it looks pretty nice. The old supra was not really known for their handling more so for the crazy dyno numbers from the bulletproof engine. This one seems to be more track oriented and fine tune for the corners.

i like his presentation of cars but the way he talks/overly forced smiles drives me up the wall...esp because i typically play back at 1.75x...so i usually watch his vids muted
