Very generic and it looks like that stole peices from other cars. You could put any car companies badge on that car.

Covette > Supra

Re: 2008 Supra

The back look like RX-8/S2000ish and the front looks G35/Eclipse-ish

I like it

Re: 2008 Supra

I also think it is generic.

And I think selling what is essentially two different cars as a Coupe and a Convertible is also a bad idea.

The cost is kinda high, Corvette will run circles around it, and with it being N/A and probably designed to stay that way its Rice market will be dissapointed. :dunno:

Re: 2008 Supra

never been impressed by toyotas anyways so this doesnt suprise me... most of everything they sell is so tame and boring it just slips through the cracks, ha ha thats prob why they last so long. no one that owns one knows how to push down the gas pedal and if they do its worthless so they just keep driving

Re: 2008 Supra

It doesn't strik me as a very inspired design. If there weren't a badge on it i would have guessed it were a Mazda/Nissan.

Stupid car designers making all of their cars smile. It's subliminal advertising I tell you!

Re: 2008 Supra

So they're putting V-8's in Supras now. I wonder how the other crowd is reacting to that?

thats EXACTLY what i was thinking..... i can see it now

"toyota v8s are god! only ones worth owning...."

dont get me wrong, a fast car is a fast car, (im kinda partial to the 300zx), but there is nothing like the sound and feel of an american small block (particularly one from GM!)

god i love my LS1
