I’ll try to explain it for you in simple terms:

If your job is really engineering solutions, and you’re given this to more or less just detune the engine and glue badges on, then... yeah.

Well, I mean the Boxster/Cayman seem to be doing pretty well. So does the Toybaru and the Miata. All of which favor balance over raw power. There is a pretty big gap between those two ranges, which the Supra could fill. Presuming its good enough. So it had better be good enough. 

Should we talk about how successful the nsx is?

The problem is a Z4 is just the small BMW roadster.  The Supra is Toyotas halo sports car.  It should be uniquely Toyota.

I agree that this is probably the better decision. However, the BRZ would be in no way quicker or faster than a 1998 Type R. (I voted CP)

an ST performance variant

Yeah, the leader letting a lapped car past. That’s so totally normal. I’m sure it happens all the time ...

Let’s not forget that it’s painfully ugly. They claim that this is an improvement, but it is merely a lateral change. They swapped one ugly bodykit for another, but it doesn’t matter ‘cos if you look at the roofline you can still see the poor bumblebee concept car struggling to move under all this new makeup.

I doubt I can change your mind but I used to think the same way. I’m not a fan boy by any means and always saw Chevy as a cheap imitation of Ford. But having worked at GM for the last few years I see a significant change in the culture here, starting at the top. They’ve paid back their loans and their product is…

The WW2 comment is probably to highlight how stupid holding grudges is. Companies evolve over time. Look at Apple, they were on the verge of failure before Steve Jobs came back onboard. They knowingly put computers with bad processors and motherboards on the market because they could not afford to wait. If you stuck…

Guess we all gotta buy Volvos?

Do you also refuse to buy British cars due to the War of 1812?

Extended cab XLT 4x4 Power Stroke $38k new you say?

Wait till the announcer says that GM payed for a JD Power award over window switches and rear view mirror switches.  

His tunnel boring machine must have hit a major breakthrough, given the rate at which he is digging himself in a hole.

If you follow F1 you should know what Cosworth means...

Martin Brundle agrees.

Chevy made a Lexus RX and called it a Blazer.
