I actually like the styling, but I can't get over the fact that it is essentially just a reskinned BMW. Hopefully, the rumors of a high HP hybrid in the future are true and there is something more to differentiate the car from the BMW.
It really appears that Toyota just phoned this one in and put in little to no effort at all into making it special. Having the exact same interior as the BMW is lazy and maybe even unforgivable. Sadly it seems that instead of developing a car that should have highlighted Toyotas engineering prowess they went chasing margins instead. I'm also not too enthusiastic about the fact that they are going to release a 4 cyl model. A 4 cyl Supra is sacrilege and only dilutes the brand imo. |

I am actually surprised how different the interiors are. I was expecting an exact copy with Toyota emblems. Besides some shared switch gear, the designs are nothing alike. I would say the outside and inside definitely look like Toyota design.

For price comparisons, the Stingray base price is $56K or about what the Supra is supposed to base at. It's $62K with the Z51, which is a world beater for that kind of money. It also has 465 HP and will run and hide from this car on any track. For me, Toyota did something very similar that Honda (Acura) did with the NSX. They made the public wait WAY too long for a car that is too expensive and doesn't really set itself apart from anything out there (yes, the NSX is a hybrid with tech out the wazoo, but it's no quicker than a Grand Sport Corvette or McLaren 570S or GT3 around the track).

Everything in that interior is BMW from the steering wheel to the dash, center console, infotainment, buttons, climate control, etc... Do you own a BMW??? This is an exact copy. Those seats MIGHT be Toyota. In fact from the pictures it looks like the Supra will get the cheapo crap steering wheel instead of the nice M performance styled wheel. |

toyota has stuggled in the affordable sports car segment. I feel bad tho. 10 years ago, there was a distinction between a sports car and your avg accord speed wise. The threshold is much lower now. I still loved my celica for what it was, maybe this car will have that feel,

That interior is 100% BMW, except for the crummy steering wheel with the gigantic spokes.
