New supra

[roguetoaster]

One, this Supra can't be JDM, in the truest sense, as it's made in Austria.

Two, in the automotive world of today Toyota really missed the opportunity to make the Supra a high power electric only car. I suspect that this would have angered enthusiasts as well, but it would have likely been faster.

To be honest - they could have done anything for the new Supra and enthusiasts would still complain that its not as good as the old one.

Heck, at least its not another Prius or SUV that we dont need more of...

The real question is, will Z4 owners in the future be able to have access to less expensive parts from Toyota?

Honestly I'm not surprised much that it looks so much like a BMW - more that BMW is using the same exact buttons and controls they were using 14 years ago. If it ain't broke, don't fix it I guess?

...and a steering wheel that looks like it came off the shelf of a Pep Boys.

Imagine replacing your most legendary sports car with a rebadged and restyled BMW. Talk about losing the plot. As I said above, it would be fine if they just called it something else, since it's probably a perfectly decent car otherwise.

Hehe. BMW shifter, BMW Hvac, BMW nav, BMW idrive control, BMW radio, BMW window switches..

In the most simplistic terms, it *is* a Z4 just with a different body.

Toyota or BMW? According to some other pictures, even the iDrive interface is BMW's.

Seems Toyota only did the body and chassis setup.

and this... the damn interior looks exactly like a BMW.

It sucks because Ive always wanted to do a European Delivery on a car, but absolutely nothing new even remotely gets me excited.

It will only come with an automatic transmission, so who cares if it's a coupe or a convertible.

Oh for fucks sake.

im pretty sure the z4 will only be a convertible. if you want a coupe its gotta be the supra. there is a feature on them in the latest c/d.

that'd be a shame, i still wish for a Z4 coupé later on.

I'm stoked to see what the Z4 Coupé looks like compared to the supra. And i wonder how long it takes until BMW release it.

You can always buy a "Supra" emblem and slap it on a LC500.
