A. Why is it so ugly?
2. Why have Toyota teamed up with BMW for this?

I can't get past A.

Nope.

Looks ok in Red, certainly better than the Z4.

It’s gopping! Faster than the M40i (by 0.3s) and same size as Coxster; not a bad effort. Nobody does manuel anymore.

It’s terrible. I hate the fact it’s a Z4 in drag. It’s not powerful enough (only 14bhp more than the previous generation car after 16 years?!), it’s not a GT car. It’s shit.

I like it. There's few to many fake vents for my liking but overall it looks quite good IMO, especially in grey, the rear 3/4 view is particularly nice. It looks better in schmee's video than in the official photos I think.

The problem for me is the price, for £50k+ I'd rather have just about all of its competitors which I thought the Supra would have been undercutting.

I clicked. Now I can't finish my breakfast

Trying to get me to like a car by sharing a Shmee video is like trying to get me to buy the Daily Mail with a direct plea from Katie Hopkins.

Smaller, lighter, prettier and faster than the old version. With the epic level of whinging on display here what'd the new one do to you all, Botch your labiaplasty?

Old version? The one which went out of production over 20 years ago?

I like the looks, and I don’t like the new Z4’s looks, so I’d have one over the BMW. But I hate the fact it’s basucally a Z4.

Apparently the GT86 wheelbase is 10mm longer than the Supra’s!

I am not sure whinging levels have reached epic here?

OV9 is held to a higher standard than the rest of sludgelike car forums.

Oh, did Sniff Petrol accidentally break an embargo with his Supra story on 7 Jan? https://sniffpetrol.com/2019/01/07/new- ... roduction/

I wondered if I'd missed the launch because it looked like a press photo, but didn't see anything elsewhere until yesterday.

Horrible looks. Not sure if I could get past that tbh.

I'd rather have this.

I’d rather have this.

One of my favourites.

Barry Sheene had one as a company car (when he raced one).

I don’t hate it as a car, other than it being ugly. I hate it as a Supra. It’s not supposed to be small and light, it’s supposed to be a fast 2+2 coupe based GT.
