Not to be contentious but I love the old Supra of the Fast n Furious age but I am not sure of the latest incarnation ?

it’s so much a BMW it’s not got DNA from the old Supra I would think Toyota could develop their own engines and car accordingly ?

Like I say not knocking anyone buying an ICE car these days as these car will become rarer as time goes on as most manufacturers are racing towards electric cars

The Supra/Z4 was one part of a long term collaboration between Toyota and BMW that began around 2011. This included joint development of lithium-ion batteries and Toyota supplying fuel cell technology to BMW.

Both are built by Magna Steyr (a Canadian owned contract manufacturer) in Austria - so built by a separate company to Toyota and BMW.

Thats fantastic and all, but it doesn't meet flagship criteria, supra is a large sports car, this mk5 is more mr2/celica, im not knocking the mk5, think some look nice, but it isn't a supra, to small, to tame, it doesn't fill the name, the lexus LFA was the true carry on from the supra
