Very dynamic, too.

Yeah but they were still basically camrys in a weird luxury shell. 2nd and 3rd were definitely the highlights though.

I was enamored with these for so long, but what turned me off in the end is their supposedly hell-on-wheels suspensions that act up and are incredibly hard to get track-ready, and all that weight. I’m sure it’s the perfect GT car, but I’ve personally settled on the equally-overlooked mkII for my next car.

it’s actually aquafresh toothpaste, to help fight gum disease and strengthen tooth enamel. Those french engineers thought of everything.

I dunno, the ES prior to the current generation was pretty boring. The only thing saving the current generation is the divisive grille and sharp angles everywhere.

Neutral: PT cruiser, solara, sebring, 318ti, cr-z, sunfire, sc430, the later GM “fake” saabs, the 8th generation mercury cougar, third generation mercury capri, the 5th generation mustangs (because there are too many of them), AND the 6th generation monte carlo.

I’m gonna make a custom car someday. I’ll take an F-body chassis (for being dirt cheap and red), and I’ll pound out completely custom sheet metal, make a whole new interior, and probably slap something super weird under the hood, like a twin turbo 3800, just to harken back to its roots. I’d like an appearance…

Damning as this all is, although I’m somewhat ashamed to play this part in the discussion, I must ask: did this really affect the outcome of the election though?

The Supra originated as the Celica Supra, a version of the 4 cylinder Celica which had a longer nose and an inline-6. Eventually the Supra was spun off into its own nameplate. The point being, all the first two generations of Supra were celicas with an I6, so a Supra with a 4-banger would practically be a Celica.

“Giant butt bilge” was my nickname in high school :(

That the car had been sitting for years, letting dex-cool eat up every rubber gasket until they all failed at once months after I bought it.

Something something coriolis effect

Forced induction. Supercharged, turbocharged, etc.

My parents had a 2WD JDM liteace when we lived in Japan 15 years ago, and it was amazing as far as I can remember. They’re damn near impossible to find in the states though.

Honestly those taillights are pretty damn cool. They remind me of the pulsar, maybe with a touch of CRX. I wish more automakers would get creative with their lights, since LEDs give them so much more freedom these days.

Featuring neither rack and pinion nor recirculating ball steering, but dedicated torque steering! Might as well put it to good use!

That would be amazing, but also so damn heavy. I both want to own a mk2 and want to do a battery electric swap on a vehicle someday, but there’s something so fun about chucking a light car through turns that makes me uneasy about battery packs.

Cold Lunch pales in comparison to the Cosby Sweater. Be informed!

mk2 supra had the best wheels, hands down.

Alright, you win. I had no idea about these, and I’m glad someone with more research to back them up came along to provide more historical context. Although I do think that the Mako Shark I is basically the C2 with some minor tweaks.
