You realize the Supra is a rebadged Z4? :lolgasm:
Last I checked the Z4 is not a coupe but the rest of the Camisa rant makes sense...

I am so confused as to who will buy this car... and why
Schmee? and because he's a trust fund baby youtuber?

Interesting read on the 2020 supra... that interior looks low rent... which is a big ol :butwhy: also the pricepoint is 50k... M2 is 55k with way more power and a better interior... and arguably a better badge...

:butwhy: go for a 2020 supra... So :notsure: about this whole thing. Where is it in the market ? Who would go for a supra over a 240i which is cheaper... or m2 which is better performing... It slots in between those two models IMO/

Why is a Toyota being compared to any BMW? The competition is 370Z, Corvette, Camaro, Mustang, Miata/Fiata, and to a lesser extent Kia Stinger.

It's not a Lexus.
$55k starting at price puts it into BMW territory.

He prob got it for free as a "press car" and claims he "bought" it.

1. It is basically a BMW.
2. It is more expensive than a comparable M240i, which I still don't see how the supra is better than that, other than style.

There's :triggered: fanbois that will buy it solely for the badge. That's about it. This thing makes no sense. Most overhyped vehicle launch in forever.

I think it's a cool car but not at the same price as a Corvette, M2, Cayman, or GT350.

As cool as the supra looks I'd rather have every car you mentioned over it.

And how are Toyota :dillerman: going to handle having an actual performance car? We've already seen how awful Honda has been with the Hype R. $20-30k markups incoming for the Supra too.

:whocares: what the :dillerman: decides to do with the price, consumers will decide in the end. And this car won't move. Willing to bet.

$20-$40k "market adjustments" for the first few months, I suspect.

There are enough fanbois to fill the first 6 mos of sales I bet. It'll flop shortly after :doe:

Maybe first month when each dealer is getting 1 unit. Aint nobody buying this thing .. it just makes no sense.

real SUPRA guys will hate it because it is a BMW, and real BMW won't buy it because an actual BMW is cheaper. Who is in the market for this?

1) it's a heck of a car
