Drove a Stinger through an autocross-esque course back-to-back with a 5 series at one of Kia’s traveling promo events. I was definitely impressed, and would strongly consider one for a DD. Performance was solid, of course the interior wasn’t as nice as the competitors but that’s where the price difference comes in.…

I wouldn’t be towing all that much. People using the Ecoboost F-150s seem to have had pretty favorable experiences with towing, so for what I would be doing I’m certain I’d be fine.
A light car, but having a tow rating closer to that of full-size trucks with larger engines in a slightly smaller more efficient truck is appealing.
and maximum towing capacity—7,500 pounds

Here’s some excellent insight into the rise in truck prices, from a man who knows a thing or two about the auto industry and product strategy. https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/a22511439/how-the-dollar100000-pickup-came-to-be/
Not sure what your point is here.
I think the haters are more to blame for the massive amount of articles, mostly full of nothing but fluff. Comments from Toyota fanbois, like myself, are definitely the minority on those articles.
As for the NASCAR and Goodwood points, those were really some of the first official teasers we saw from Toyota. Both…
I do, and I agree that that’s a very impressive, and possibly an ideal, way to do a launch. But the GT reveal is an outlier, not the standard. Nearly every other car reveal and development is a more open process.
If you read my other comments I make the point that, Toyota hardly did any official teasing of this car. Nearly every article posted about the Supra was either speculation based on internet rumors, spy shots/videos taken by people who aren’t affiliated with Toyota, or renders created by some dude on a forum. If you…
That still makes zero sense. The Vette gets a pass because it took them nearly 6 decades of teasing and official prototypes to release, whereas Toyota gets hated because they’ve taken less than 6 years since an official concept was revealed, that at the time was only speculated by the peanut gallery to be the next…
(Stealing most of my response from another comment of mine below and modifying it, because I’m kinda lazy)
I find it funny how Toyota, and the Supra itself, get so much hate for such a supposedly drawn out development/release. It’s not like Toyota has dragged out development of the project or over-teased it for any…
Why do they deserve it?
What I find funny is that the mid-engine Corvette has been teased/rumored for at least as long as a new Supra, and yet doesn’t get any of the animosity toward it that the Supra has.
It’s not like Toyota has dragged out development of the project or over-teased it for any significant amount of time longer than is normal…
Came here to say this, glad(?) to see I’m not the only one making this comparison. How long until they introduce the “New Silvia Crossover!”?
I don’t disagree about them being great track cars. I love mine and plan to keep tracking it for quite awhile. Just think there are other modern engines out there that could have been a better choice.
Also, in regard to the temperature management, the cars pretty much need an oil cooler to manage temps once you start tracking routinely. And pre-’15 models tend to burn up coil packs. Of course the latter complaint could be written off as growing pains of a new engine/platform development, but they all kind of speak…
That is the case, generally more of an issue with FI cars, but a fair number of NA track guys who have really gotten to the point of pushing the cars hard have blown engines because of the same issue. Just seems the limits of the FA20 come up pretty quick, either in limitations of NA potential or oiling/cooling with…
That could certainly be a solution if they chose to go with another boxer motor, but I still feel like an inline-4 makes more sense for the platform.
