Well, ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves because here we are talking about the new Toyota Supra. Now, when you think of a Supra, you expect the kind of car that makes your hair stand on end, that sends shivers down your spine, that makes you want to marry it and have little car babies. But what did Toyota give us? A collaboration with BMW that feels like it was designed by committee in a boardroom full of accountants!
I mean, look at it. It’s like Toyota tried to blend some futuristic concepts with a hint of nostalgia, but ended up with a mishmash that lacks the raw, untamed spirit of the original Supra. The proportions are all wrong. It’s too short, too stubby. Where’s the long bonnet, the muscular stance that made the Supra iconic? Instead, we get this compact, slightly awkward-looking coupe that could be mistaken for a zippy hatchback from certain angles.
And then there’s the engine. Oh, the engine. Sure, it’s a BMW straight-six, and BMWs make great engines, but this is a Toyota Supra! It should have its own soul, its own distinctive roar. Instead, it sounds like it’s trying too hard to be something it’s not. It’s fast, no doubt, but where’s the drama? Where’s the theater that a Supra should bring to the stage?
And don’t get me started on the interior. It’s as if they raided the BMW parts bin and slapped some Toyota badges on everything. Sure, it’s comfortable and tech-savvy, but it lacks the character, the flair that you expect from a true sports car cockpit. Where are the quirky Japanese design touches, the ergonomic brilliance that makes you feel like you’re in something truly special?
Look, I get it. Times change, technology evolves, and collaborations happen. But the Supra was more than just a car; it was a legend. It deserved better than this half-hearted attempt at revival. It’s like trying to resurrect James Dean and ending up with a YouTube influencer. So, Toyota, if you’re listening, next time, give us a Supra that makes us fall in love all over again. Give us something that makes us forget about compromise and just want to drive. Until then, well, we’ll always have the memories of what the Supra used to be.
i’d say it’s pretty solid
