It's kinda bizarre that Toyota hasn't taken advantage of the Supra hype and done this sooner. The MKIV has reached legendary status. Not just because of the stupid movie but it's proven itself in the tuning world. The engine was an indestructable rock and mods can make it into a friggin' beast.
That's probably how this new model will be judged. Just how much can that BMW engine handle tuning and mods and compare to the legend from the 90s.

Well, inflation's a big part of that... $31k or $40.5k for the turbo in 1998 is $47.7k or 62.4k in 2018 money.
These kinds of cars seem dead unfortunately :(They should make a new Celica. My first car back in 2001 :). So pretty.
that's damn good punnery son
also, I agree that the back end looks weird. I get they were trying to capture the look of the rounded spoiler the OG supra used, but it doesn't look good at all. In fact I didn't like the OG supra's spoiler either. I like the front end though

It's a competitive market, but I suppose what car genre isn't.
They're going to be competing with a lot of sport coupes in that price range. A sports car but not at the supercar level.
Considering the classic Supra was capable of kicking supercar ass, the expectations are high. But without a doubt, I'm betting Toyota gets a fair amount of sales simply because it's a Supra regardless of performance.

The irony of it all is that peeps want unmodded MkIVs tho lol
That said a hint of modding the MkV could be seen here where Japanese tuners mod the BMW N55 (the precursor to the B58 that's used in the MkV) in a M235i:

I have to see this in person before final judgement... That being said, it doesn't look like a $80K CND sports car to me...
The engine potential keeps me more then excited. I can't wait to see what tuners (and modifiers) do once they are out in the wild.

Consider getting a BMW M2. Affordable and a helluva drive.
Doug DeMuro has a review on Youtube of a stock 94 Supra. Now it doesn't seem that impressive. I think the styling still looks good so it was ahead of it's time for that, but any car from the mid 90's isn't going to impress with features.
It's all about that engine, and finding a stock 94 Supra is damn near impossible because they've all been modded and pimped out, probably with 10 year old parts.
I wouldn't park a stock 94 Supra on the street. That baby gonna get stole.

Well, I think it looks cool. But also I would never buy a sports car, so they probably shouldn't care what I think
It's been disappointing that Toyota won't develop its own engines anymore. They had legendary high revving twincams. The BEAMS 3S, the 4A, the 1LR, the 2ZZ.
The B58 is a nice engine but it's massively stroked and designed to puts its power out in the middle of the band. It's going to be an utterly fantastic car. Like it's GT86 sibling, it's just not... Toyota. At least, that was my problem with the GT86 even though I lovingly owned one. Fuel cut at 7450rpm? My old 2ZZ weeps.

I like it, but nevermind.
Nope. I'll stick with my WRX.
I dont get the hate. I like it. Stands out and loks cool to me.This is prime case of concept car visual tricks not translating well into production car
It looks like 4 different car ideas tossed into one and then they said.......eh, its fine.
I see the car and I think Simpsons episode where Homer built a car for his brother lol

It better have a big wing option. That's a Supra signature part.
I want to get back into the sports car market so badly. $20-30k seems to be the spot for me, lower 20's preferably. But these high end sports cars just inflate the prices of the lower ends :...(
I would buy an M2 9 times out of ten over this.
Guaranteed better interior (even if it's basic by M standards), available six-speed, roughly the same power, size, and weight, arguably better looking. And probably cheaper.

Mazda Miata is still made. That's a cheap sporty roadster.
I don't think the sports car market is dead. They might not be selling lots but there's certainly a fair amount to chose from. Even some sedans can be considered very sporty. Reasonably high HP engines can be put in anything, and they do.
Hi.
As for the new Supra, it looks ok but I don't think it'll stand out like the original did.
Uh no.
The back half from those views definitely look similar. But yeah, overall it looks nothing like a Porsche
The concept or the production vehicle? Cause that's the concept you've quoted.
Anyway, there's a world of difference between the two. The concept has thinner headlights, lower front bumper, lower hood line, wider and longer wheelbase, retractable rear wing/spoiler and a much better looking back end. The production looks like a cheap GoBots version of a Transformer or a Chinese knockoff of the concept vehicle. The smushed wheelbase and other changes isn't doing this any favors.
Do they ever?
