I don’t really understand the appeal of a stretch limo. I took a ride once for junior prom (is that still a thing?) years ago and it was smelly, bouncy, crowded and everyone had to crawl—then fall—out of the car. Which meant all that dressing up was for nothing when you look like you’ve stepped out of a long clown…

As far as we know, the chassis and suspension tuning are done by Toyota. The styling (if you only want to put that all into one bucket), the aerodynamics, the branding, post-sale service, and (hopefully lots of) motorsport initiatives are all done by Toyota.

Ahhh...the sweet naivety of online commenters...if they only knew “Supra” used to be just a Celica.

So anytime you see that design feature, you’ll reminisce the good times that you had in the comments section. ;)

The complexity of today’s crash testing standards would prohibit that. (See: front small overlap testing.) Basically, the savings wouldn’t come from just using an existing drivetrain, because the chassis development would be the biggest hurdle. Could Toyota do it? Sure, but why would they do it if the 86 and/or Supra…

I appreciate the Supra’s styling more and more each time I see new angles. The very slight crease on top of the rear fender is quite nice—not to mention the very MKIV-esque, muscular haunch—and the tail does a good job of breaking up the surfaces without over-complicating it like this:

The other driver was...

In the future, you won’t even have to walk more than 10 feet to see the whole show:

I’m talking more about what the market would sustain vs what Toyota would have to invest into / price it to make a profit. The Miata—the MIATA!—only sold, what, 8000+ units last year?

I’m surprised (and relieved) that Honda didn’t use that song for an Odyssey commercial...

It’s not my fave, either, but I do think they’ve done a good job of making it feel like a Miata and still fit contemporary design trends.

The business case for Toyota to make an MR2 is, sadly, the Cayman. They wouldn’t be able to do it for any cheaper.

Upside down shark.

They’re all “inspired” by the image of a lightning bolt.

I thought trucks were too confident to care?

Thanks for this. I know people will rag (and rag and rag) on you for more Supra articles, but I genuinely enjoy these design details.

NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM.

Are you watching me??

The lower panel of the door seems to be a separate piece. Looks like maybe the designers wanted to use it to reduce visual weight there, but for whatever cost reasons had to make it body colored.

As your armchair editor-in-chief: these photos really could’ve been split into 12 articles.
