How the new Supra looks and how it should have looked

[-]

Affectionate-Put6856@reddit

absolutely!! why they didnt choose to design it that way blows my mind. so much better looking brooo

OkCustard1381@reddit

It may look good, but the A80 didn't look like an A70 at all, so it feels more fitting to keep the real design instead of the bottom image

Fast-Imagination1932@reddit

No doubt. I always wonder, "who signed off on this? "

SadisticSpeller@reddit

Why? The MK2 didn't look like the MK1, the MK3 didn't look like the MK2, the MK4 didn't look like the MK3, why should the MK5 look like the MK4?

I don’t think people are against change. The nose on the MK V is just not very popular.

[-]

Adventurous_Bold1727@reddit

Thanks for pointing that out; I cannot help but think the front part of the MKV looks like that of a bugatti

[-]

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here for a second and say the MkIII did actually look like the MkII in general styling. Overall shape of the car, though smoothed out as we went from late 80s to early 90s, the wraparound grille in the front (until the facelift where it gained that divider in the middle), it retained the popups, the booty still had long bar-style taillights.

You are absolutely 100% correct in that the MkII looks nothing like the MkI though, I agree there.

I think what we're trying to get at here is that the MK5 should have been a Toyota Supra, not a BMW Z4 with some toyota badging on it. Specifically I think the wheelbase is too short, thats very un supra.

I don’t understand this argument. MKI-MKIII Supra all had engines originally manufactured by Yamaha and the rest by Toyota, so why people are only now upset about another company making the engine and transmission is beyond me...

I know this is 4 years old but I'm on the fence on getting one but rode it and changed my mind.

Anyways, you should be aware the GR Supra today had to conform to points that are non negotiable on the Z4. There exists a Mk5 GR Supra if it would to be built by Toyota. The most obvious is when you open the door and look at the side panels, you'll see extra panelling just so this frankenstein shell conforms to the z4 chasis.

In the end I decided to not get one just because I rather get a GR86 or a used 911 or a s650 GT350. Supra feels very half assed and a weird point for car performance. It's not that's not that great, but not that bad.

It's funny revisiting this now. Six years ago, I would have agreed. Nowadays every car has a big leering black grill on the front, and the contemporary styling really distinguishes it from everything else on the road.

It also subtly ties it in with the rest of the Toyota lineup. Just yesterday I noticed the prius' has a little pointy hump on the front kind of showing it's distantly related to the Supra, part of the Toyota family.

Stance, firmly changed.

I don't mind the current model of the supra but this looks awesome!

[-]

NodensWRFafnir@reddit

This actually looks really good but I don't mind the current model

[-]

ashowofhands@reddit

Holy fuck, I swear the only way people would be satisfied with this car is if they just started literally making Mk4s again

[-]

1052098@reddit

Yes. That’s literally what we want. Why does Toyota refuse to take our money?

For a car that would probably struggle to outperform a modern fwd hot hatch?

This car is looked at with the most rose tinted of glasses. Usually by people who have never even sat in one.

[-]

amidoes@reddit

Yeah, because you're comparing a 25 year old car vs current hot hatches. My TDI also destroys antique cars. A Megane RS will also destroy many Ferraris. They could have done something much more impressive with current tech. Not just slap an engine from a BMW parts bin on it.

[-]

TrapsBruh@reddit

It’s also most of the body from a BMW

And the interior

And the engine

BMW Supra it is

I mean, what's wrong with that? People here love to circlejerk about unreliable German cars, so a German car with Toyota reliability sounds pretty good to me.

[-]

OD_Emperor@reddit

Except they did it the wrong way round. It's the BMW engine putting most people off because, wholly, they're less reliable than something Toyota could've made.

[-]

D13tznU7s@reddit

Ok? It’s BMW’s most reliable engine. I haven’t heard of the engine shitting out pistons and oil like there’s no tomorrow.

[-]

OD_Emperor@reddit

Why are you snooping on a 4yr old post?

[-]

D13tznU7s@reddit

Can snooping on a 4 year old post get me banned? No.

[-]

OD_Emperor@reddit

No you're just a creeper.

[-]

D13tznU7s@reddit

tsssssss *BOOM!

[-]

Teledildonic@reddit

And yet the 86 is a Subaru with a Toyota transmission and fuel injection but nobody bitches about it...

[-]

SummerDays@reddit

Because Subaru ain’t unreliable, and Subaru makes STi. Everything BMW makes is unreliable, overweight, and they just can’t get their electronic steering and adaptive damping right.
