yea we're here discussing a weird/ugly Toyota powered by a meh BMW engine.

The GT-R50 was the answer to a question no one was asking and the reaction is appropriate - confusion.

agreed. interesting idea but outrageous price.

as for the supra.........i dont get it. you had one of the most badass sports cars looks wise paired with one of the greatest engines of all time.

annnnnd now you make an awful looking car paired with a blah engine. just makes me lose more hope for modern cars. now, no one has seen the actual car yet based on camo and whatnot so the looks could swing. the engine....still not great.

There’s a list a couple pages back of some very good/excellent modern cars, it just happens that NONE of them are nissans or yotas. And definitely not this new Supra.

I am a fan of both the z and the gtr.

your stable of cars encompasses the only cars Nissan makes that are worth owning, but they are long in the tooth. At this point Nissan might as well be making resto mod 240z’s they’ve been producing the 370 so long. The gtr isn’t far behind but at least they’ve continually improved it, but it’s showing it’s age.

Agreed on th Alfa. The gulia quadrofolio is awesome, so I have high hopes.

I'm in full agreement - the best stuff Nissan builds is the oldest stuff. Z, Frontier, GT-R.

I'm to the point where I'm happy to have them continue producing them as-is. They're more likely to completely **** it up than improve it.

Look at the Nissan Kicks? As if you didn't think a Juke could possibly get any worse, Nissan is like "hold my pumpkin spice latte."

Nissan is committed to not building cars but rather appliances. They are a mobility co. at this point, not a car company as we enthusiasts would define it. Obviously toaster ovens on wheels with all the latest tech bullsh1t is what will keep auto companies viable, but look at the company’s that still love cars in their dna, they are making killer cars right now.

The following auto manufacturers who still haven’t voluntarily castrated themselves as follows:

Audi: expanding RS models for each vehicle in their lineup, and bringing them here. Company backed racing teams and support private teams as well.

Chevy: company backed racing etc, Z-L1, vette, etc.

Mercedes: AMG, nuff said.

Ford: barely, but still at least committed to mustang. Raptor also.

Dodge: these fvcking guys, basically gave a big fvck you to everyone with the demon, one trick pony but god bless them for making it.

the wrangler too.

Porsche:

no explanation needed.

Mazda: again barely but the Miata is the most raced/tracked car in the world and they always improve it every generation.

Honda: not really, but the type r deserves an honorable mention.

R8, even if expensive

Chevy: company backed racing etc, Z-L1, vette, etc. The Camaro SS is a pretty damn solid car for the money.

Mercedes: AMG, nuff said.

Ford: barely, but still at least committed to mustang. GT-350? and soon to come GT-500 Raptor also. The GT itself is pretty nuts.

Dodge: these fvcking guys, basically gave a big fvck you to everyone with the demon, one trick pony but god bless them for making it.

the wrangler too.

My next car is that GTV coupe in quadrifoglio form.

I Will stress again. If you haven't driven a Alfa? U must. It's the first car in 2 decades that I can honestly say is NOT hyped enough. It blows everything out if you are a handling fanatic as I.

I would love to drive the supra. But looking at all of Toyota's current sports entries. I'm underwhelmed.

UNKNOWN_370 · 09-19-2018, 08:44 AM

$MALLER than a 86... Lower COG than a 86 with more power? U got my ATTENTION!!!
