If they didn't give it the Supra badge, I think it'd have way better reception.
The Supra badge just has way too much of a reputation to ever live up to it because people have had decades to modify Supras to super car levels by throwing unreal amounts of money at them. From the factory for anyone that remembers, they were really tame and kinda fat, especially for the year. They were GT cars.
The LC500 is more of a "Supra" than this is, in my opinion. It's weird to me they didn't shave that down to put the badge on and sell for $65k, which is what the Supra roughly sold for originally when taking inflation into account.
