2020 Supra... first thoughts

UNKNOWN_370 · 06-20-2019, 03:30 PM

The Supra does NOT have a lower COG than the 86. Go figure... they been saying it would from jump street.

Interesting.
They show CGZ dimensions of:
Supra (in form tested) = 19.5" off the ground.
Toyota 86 = 18".

For reference, they also say
Mustang Shelby GT350 = 19.5"

And from other sources:
Lotus Elise = 18.8"
Alfa Romeo 4C = 16"

Wish they'd publish a list of all sports cars they've tested!

It's pretty hard to bead due to engine layout, etc.

Late to the convo... but I saw it in person 2 weeks ago at ToyotaFest here in SoCal

Looks really good in person and is smaller than I thought it would be. Biggest problem for me is I just don't trust BMW's reliability with the drivetrain.

I also randomly saw one with full camo as a test car on Monday so I am not sure what they were testing or if BMW plans on launching a coupe version of their own.

From the back it looks like it is giving birth to another car.

Nope!

I want to like this model... But I just can't trick my eyes into liking ugly (like I could in college).

Good looking car, but definitely not one I'd buy in white. Darker colors better on t his one, I think.

This past gen of bimmers have shown better reliability than past. I'm sure toyotas influence will make it a lil better. White isn't the most flattering color. But I'm sure black or grey will bring the car out better.

I totally agree that the current gen of Bimmers are probably more reliable but I just can't ever seeing myself buying one, I know it's probably irrational but I always stick to Japanese built cars only.

My best friend has a BMW Master shop and he always tells me to stay away from BMW's lol

Yeah, double-bagger for sure!

But I’ll save judgement until I see one in person

That’ll feed the “market adjustment” fires at some dealerships!

He should have given me that money. Because he would be better off in the long run.
