Completely agree. Everything that’s been said by the people behind the Supra and in the know, like Moto Miwa, have said the Supra is going to be seriously performance oriented. I expect it to be significantly more hardcore than the average GT, in terms of suspension.chassis setup and rigidity.

“...a Facebook post from somebody called Motor Miwa...”

Assuming the use of the word “somebody” is a joke, or at least hoping it is. lol

I fully support this. The TOM’s car looks great!

Well they gave one to Europe in very limited production with the Yaris GRMN. Wish they’d have brought it here, I absolutely would buy one. :(

I’m also up for a hot hatch version of this Corolla. I like the look of it.

Get a FiST or FoST while you still can!

Those are all still ZF 8HP transmissions, which are only automatic. Albeit a very good automatic that has even been proven in motorsport.

You apparently have very poor reading comprehension, because nowhere in this article did the writer make that claim.

When I owned both my 2000 Corolla and my 2005 4Runner I ended up driving friends around all the time, because I generally had the most reliable car with the most space/seating.

Now I drive an FR-S and never have to worry about carting other people around. It’s great. The most that’s going in there are my fiance and…

My friend has one as a rental in Germany right now, I’m incredibly jealous.

Not if you’re financially or spacial limited it’s not. Nor if you don’t have the space, knowledge, or desire to wrench on your stuff, or money to pay someone else to do it, if there’s an issue. In those cases a newer fun car that’s capable of doing a bit of everything, even while perhaps not being the “best” at any…

As much as I want to believe too, I wouldn’t hold your breath and I’d certainly temper your expectations. We can only hope.

Agreed, but for many people they don’t have the space or money to justify owning a car that’s simply for fun. That’s where a sports car with more practicality can be a game changer for them, and there are plenty of people with those limitations. So there are plenty of reasons why someone might choose an 86 over an…

A kit car is far from the same as a mass produced car from a major manufacturer. A production vehicle is subject to much more scrutiny and regulation, the design and testing for which costs a lot. There’s also a lot more people and steps involved in the production, which also means more overhead.

Collaborative sports cars and creative solutions to reduce build costs are going to be the new norm for sports cars, given the outlook for the future of the automotive world and how it’s transforming. The Toyobarus and Fiata being prime examples of that. It’s the only way engineers and product managers will be able to…

Seriously, it cannot be that hard to build a 718-style car out of more mainstream parts and materials, for 1/2 to 2/3rds what a 718 costs, without the “Porsche” badge costs. Subaru has the turbo flat-4 engines, more established than Porsche’s new ones. Subaru has a cable-shifted 6-speed manual gearbox in the WRX and…

In any sane world Subaru would never have built a RWD 2+2 sports coupe either.

I cross-shopped an S2K when I bought my FR-S, but I picked the right car for my situation. It’s my only car and I live in Chicago. The hardtop makes it better for the winter, the ample storage space (for a sports car, 2+2, whatever you wanna classify it as) makes it better as an only vehicle, and it’s still plenty…

I’ve owned mine for 4 years, as of yesterday actually! It’s a ‘13 that’s lived its entire life in Chicagoland, and has been daily driven year round and ice raced by me. 4 winters in, 89k+ miles later (with no real decrease in avg. miles driven during winter) and it’s got nothing more than typical surface rust on the…

I suppose when I referenced “Republican Party” in this case I was mainly referring to Trump’s gang of cronies and his fan base. I know that most rational and well informed/educated individuals on both sides of the isle understand that this is bad economic policy.

Trump and anyone defending his protectionist tariffs:
