  1. Not exactly.

  2. "Laughs in Caterham" Some of their cars have less horsepower than the GR86, yet they still perform well.
    1
  3. "Toyota simply rebadged BMW Z4's." Not really. In fact, both BMW and Toyota developed a more purpose-built platform based on the former's CLAR just for the two cars.

  4. Its competitor is the Cayman (Boxster for the Z4) and (in Europe and Japan) the Alpine A110.

  6.  @pablos3563  - the LFA is well-tested at the German Nurburgring, a track where it doesn't discriminate. It even raced at the 24 hour events held there.

  7. ​ @pablos3563  - execpt not quite the whole story. Anyway, back to the 'all Asian cars are crap' thing, what manufacturer powered McLaren's championship wins back in the late 80's and early 90's?

  8. Mazda's doing fine with their MX-5. Even Britain's renowned Caterham is kicking butt way below 300hp with their lightweight bodies (same can be said for some of their models with less than 200hp).
    1
  9. Not really.
    1
  10. Not everyone here prefers AWD. They want to either do try to be the hometown Drift King or breeze past the corners. Apples-to-oranges comparison here.
    1
  11. Not quite the whole story. The manual was hinted well before the Z.
    1
  12. A minivan won't be able to catch up with the car if driven on a twisty road.
    1
  13. Do not ask for more luxury. This is a (relatively) budget-minded sports car.

  14. The SupraMKV forum did a dimensions comparison between the J29 and A80. The former's not just a bit shorter, but also a bit wider than the latter. Besides, hasn't Papadakis confirmed that the B58 engine can be tuned to at least 1000hp?
    1
  15. That's more of a common myth. It happened mainly due to customer demand.
    1
  16. Is it really a con considering that the manga has been around for quite a while? Wouldn't be surprised if the anime follows what Initial D's did and introduce the newer model later down the road.
    1
  17. They explicitly said that the Supra needs a straight-6. Not much else other than the Japan-exclusive straight-4 variant.
    1
  18. Not really, if you know what you are doing and what the car is designed to do.
    1
  19. 7 cars are recalled.
    1
  20. Uh, both cars aren't JDM if not meant to be sold in Japan and built to Japanese rules and regs.
    1
  21. Is it really just a rebadge, considering that the two cars don't share a platform with any existing ones BMW made?
    1
  22. Not quite. While people say that the Z pushed Toyota to add the manual, that wasn't the whole story. Customers demanded for the transmission; problem here was that Toyota engineers don't like the feel of BMW's. So they took a while.
    1
  23. It actually makes sense in the US considering that the regular Yaris isn't sold there anymore.
    1
  24. Regular 3.0 models will get the manual.
    1
  25. Not actually Subaru's idea to build a RWD car (that's Toyota's). Plus, they initially did not express interest in developing the car.
    1
  26. Have you ever heard of the 86 GRMN? That's pretty much a glimpse of what a hotter Supra variant could possibly be.
    1
  27. Doesn't need that much horsepower considering the weight and CoG.
    1
  28. A "girl's car" that is tested and raced at the Nurburgring with CEO Akio Toyoda at the wheel, won the DTM Trophy driver's championship with Tim Heinemann, won the Formula Drift championship two times with Fredric Aasbø... That's too far from being a "girl's car".

  29. I mean, the Supra started out as a higher end Celica trim before splitting starting from the Mk.III (A70). Edit: Words
    1
  30. The Supra is RWD.
    1
  31. Mazda's FC RX-7 would like a word.
    1
  32. Nope, 2000GT successor.
    1
  33. And how heavy is that Camry?
    1
  34.  @seawolf_USA  - 0-60 won't mean much when there is a tight turn.
    1
  35. Look at Toyota's 2000GT and compare it to the current Supra.
    1
  36. Mazda and its Miata: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
    1
  37. No. Keep it RWD.

  38. "plust an awd would be faster and better on the track /:" - hate to break it, but a good chunk of race cars don't use AWD.
