What a stupid article. Lets…
The Supra's Identity Crisis: It's a cutprice BMW or a Toyota with BMW parts. BMW is a luxury sports car brand and Toyota is a maker of people movers. If the car was built by Toyota it would likely have been a (much bigger) disappointment.
The Legendary Supra: The MKIV is and always was overrated. Like the awful movies it appeared in. And as for overbuilt, have you even looked at a B58 engine?
Nissan Z: Are you serious. A car built on 10 year old tech that has been smashed in every metric not only by the Supra but in some cases by the lowly 86/BRZ. What an absolute joke!
GRMN: Stop using the same Best Car article from last year to create an entire article. The Supra will have a mildly tuned B58 with largely cosmetic changes, ala GRMN Yaris. Get a grip.
And just a note on sales dropping sharply. Almost every Supra around the world is pre-sold with up to a year of wait time in some regions! With the Z4 picking up steam it has left the Supra production line with less capacity as they are both coming of the same line.
This isn't journalism.. its regurgitation of non-facts and weirdly biased Nissan Z love.
