Am I the only person who absolutely rages at these mishmash cars.
It's the same thing they did with that POS BRZ/GT/FR-S.

It's like Toyota has lost the ability to engineer their own engines. If I'm going to buy a Supra or a GT86 it's because of the originals. You can put Yota badges on a BRZ but the motor still has Subaru stamped on it. It's like pandering, using these car names that people know and love and sticking them on garbage.

A supra built by BMW is still going to be BMW trash. If you have ever tried to work on, or buy replacement parts from BMW you will know what I mean. Forget it. there will be huge sticker price because Euro import tax is higher, some specialty washer on the motor that you can only get from BMW for $250, and they will be run through in 100k miles. Oh and piss poor resale value.

Sorry, got a little ranty there...
