From the article you linked:

If the quality of the composite materials hasn’t improved in 15-20 years, the plastic items will last at least 60k which isn’t unreasonable for a high performance car like this. Maybe I have Stockholm Syndrome...

Had plenty of like offers for my ‘98 M3 cabriolet. Not many TOYotas can match that.

The Lexus cars you mentioned are Grand touring coupes and not “sports cars”.

Toyota already makes two proper Supra successors, the Lexus RC-F and LC. In fact the RC-F could have been used as a starting point for the Supra for a lot less money than starting a new car from scratch. Toyota frequently shares chassis between the Toyota and Lexus brands.

Everyone here is forgetting that GM already made the best in-between. The Volt. In case you forgot, it was a plug in electric with an onboard gas generator that wasn’t connected to the drive wheels and only fired up when’s necessary providing real time electricity for the electric motors while also charging the…

If hybrids are such a failure-prone, risky proposition then why has Toyota been making the Prius for 20+ years?

My son drives my wife’s old 2006 Civic hybrid which we bought from new. Battery needed replaced at 160,000 miles. This was archaic battery tech, not modern Lithium based. Cost $2500 to replace.

There are tons of Prius models out there with 300,000 miles.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug

I also wanted a Supra back in 1993 but could never afford one and still cant but others like me who wanted one but can afford one will drive them home.

Toyota wants to be brave, it’s trying to prove to you that it is brave.

Wouldn’t it be better if trips and bookings were down?

Here’s a better photo in the same lighting showing off the pearl blue color interacting with the light. I agree on the ‘02+ styling refreshes, problem is the later cars are getting a premium right now. I’m fine with any blue / tan combo, but my favorite is the earlier Monte Carlo blue. But as with all 3 of the blue…

A V6 just isn’t special enough for a supercar, hybrid system or not. Especially when your competition is the sonorous R8 V10, or the spaceship 570S.

It’s a real Honda/Acura unlike the Supra which not a real Toyota.

I’ll admit the NSX (insert difference here), but that’s not worth 100 grand.

but can someone explain why it hasn’t really resonated with people?

Was the real point of his tweet, completely unaddressed by the article. In the days that we’ll be talking about this one event, many more will die in other ways that don’t get a single mention.

The Honda/Acura I fell in love with allowed for easy swapping of components because so much of it was a shared platform. Taking an existing larger/more powerful engine from another vehicle in their lineup and putting into a something smaller is a quick and easy fix. This is something that Acura has passed up and…

Look at their most recent example with the Stinger. A quick and exciting car that in the right trim will beat a Mustang GT. All that while still being attainable.
