2020 Toyota Supra

I get it...great hardware and the shape is super duper aerodynamic...but damn, at least from pics, it is fugly! Bubble shape on most of everything...and if it’s not bubbly, then hard angles!

It looks like it was designed by a kid who wants something in your face...cohesive design be damn!

Have you seen the Civic Type R? I know that thing is a monster on the street, but no way I could drive that. The Supra looks like a luxury car in comparison.

But Civic R appeals to a different crowd...whose main purpose in life is using used coffee cans as mufflers!

This Supra is supposed to be for the more sophisticated crowd...the M3/M5 crowd etc.. (At least that is what i think)

And having that design...well, Supra just took fugly to the next level.

For me, Lexus LFA looks a lot better than this Supra!

The only thing it shares with the mk4 Supra is engine configuration and rear wheel drive from what I can tell.

It doesn't even look similar to the older Supras.

My 41yo friend just bought a Type R. He knows it looks ridiculous too, but he loves the way it drives.

And I absolutely agree with you that the LFA is a better looking design.
 
Huge disappointment compared to the FT-1 concept. BMW drivetrain is a deal killer for me.

I think this sums it up pretty nicely:

I guess I don't think it's all THAT bad looking, if not really a modern interpretation of the originals. BMW has always been fantastic at building inline six engines. I haven't driven a recent one, but if its like the ones through the early 2000's, it should rev pretty willingly and run steam turbine-smooth.

What's sad is that Toyota finds itself in a place today where it can't design a car like this itself. Not even the FRS/86. That spirit, DNA, pedigree, whatever you want to call it, is long gone from the brand.

He loves the way the front wheel drive type-R drives? What???

Yeah - should come with 400hp...but in Toyota's defense...they shaved off more than 300lbs (a great accomplishment if you think about the mandatory safety equipment in modern cars) which means 0-60 4.1s compared to 5.0s with the old Supra.
 
I'm really carious to who they intended the audience to be. I've been following this for a while and it seems OK.. Supra's are legends though, maybe its all in the performance?

Yep. And I’ve driven it and it’s a beast of a car. Especially considering the price. I don’t know how they were able to get so much grip out of a FWD car, but they did.
