Toyota figured out they are in DEEP SHIT over the 2020 Corvette...
Check out the cover (inside and out) of this month's Motortrend:
Theirs at $55k for 335 hp, and Chevy's at roughly $59k, mid-engine, and 495 hp? Toyota should be scared. They lost me, and I was a prepared buyer....until Chevy. |

I really can’t wrap my head around Toyota making this big of a misstep. It’s a z4 not a Supra. I saw an article yesterday they’re trying to say the Supra is under-rated and it really has more power.....who cares at this point.

I'd rather have a Z4 than a "Supra".

Re-badge a BMW, then under represent on the horsepower. Real good idea.

They had their chance to promote their "supra" and they totally screwed the pooch. All talk, a lot of waiting for a lot of boring numbers. Folks like Craig will take their money elsewhere now. |

I'm sure the Fast and Furious types have a major hard-on for the Supra and will hand over the dough, without question, for the car.

I'm actually sad the Supra is this. What a great name and now 'Yota came out with....that. It'll be interesting to see the units sold after a coupla years. |

Wasn't it all about the block/bottom end of the supra that was coveted? Is the new one as good?

On paper., I understand going with the Bimmer Inline-6 as a powerplant and even using the Z4 framework to speed up the process of bringing a new Supra to market.
HOWEVA, it needs more ponies. It needs to LOOK different inside. And they went WAY too mild on the styling. And it needs to be cheaper. |
