Isn’t it a BNW
I’ve seen it Andy
It’s a bloody great looking car
Get your light bulbs down ion one 🤣
They’ll even let you have the box and papers...
For me it just doesn’t have the wow factor that the previous model had?
I am on the cusp of a reservation, with a hope for the A90. But, my problem is simply, as an alternative do I want/need a soft top, with 7/8 months sunshine here. Not sure what that alternative would look like - Boxster S, TTRS, Mustang, F Type V8 etc?

I was looking forward to seeing it, but I really don't like the styling. Far too fussy and taking design cues from other brands and blending them together!
I've currently got an F-Type and have owned a Boxster before (and did have the TTRS on the list too due to the tuning options). I think the Boxster (or Cayman) is the better car though - much better build quality than the Jag, and so well balanced for tight twisty roads.
The Jag looks lovely and sounds great, but after 7 months with one, I'm looking to change back to a German brand
No, no and thrice no. Just plain nasty especially at £50k.
The new MR2 looks slightly better, but it's marginal.
Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

Any links?
I nearly bought one second hand back in the 80s. Great looking car as I recall.
Looks a lovely machine - don't think it will appear on the car list at work tho ha ha

On the fence until I can see one and see reviews. It’s a lot of money so needs to deliver interior wise as well as performance. Alpine is it’s benchmark so time will tell.
I prefer its BMW sibling, not just on looks but also for the soft-top.
The last Supra I liked, styling wise, was the Mk3.
I love the looks , fan of the ZF8 gearbox its the best auto on the market by far , engine is great as well but for the price I'd look elsewhere its at least 5k too much imo maybe more
Cars like this wont sell well here , the US will go mad for it though
It’s a z4 basically isn’t it, hardly a hardcore Toyota, I like the look of it but wouldn’t it be nice if it wasn’t a German car really

can't believe how similar it is to a bmw. z4 with a gash body kit
I managed about 30 seconds, what a nauseating c**t the presenter is.

I wondered why this story had popped up on sniff...

It looks like the lovechild of the Z4 and Civic R. Great if you're entering midlife crisis and want to be 12 again
The presenter is perfect for the car btw. I managed 40 seconds of the video but I was really trying for a full minute.
I’d rather have a used Z4M coupe and £40K in the bank.
There are a couple of YouTube reviews and on those I think it looks better than in the static shots
Did anyone place an order for the new supra ?
I should get mine in August I’ve been told
Been invited to a track day next month with Toyota at thruxton
And a vip day at goodwood with a meal in the mansion and other treat can’t wait

Not great looking to me, but we all like different things and may look better in the metal.
I’m a little disappointed it’s based on a Z4, especially after the work done by Lexus on bespoke sports cars over the last decade, I was hoping for something original.
40 years ago I bought a new 1980 Celica "Black Package" like the one below, because I couldn't pony-up the extra thousand or so to buy the new Supra, which I adored!
Actually, I just found a photo of my Celica (a 1980). I took off the rear window louvres for the winter! This pic was on a ski trip.

But already all of the deposit spots are gone.
When I read it was based on the z4 I thought yes maybe they’ve nicked some of the good bit, watched a few videos last night and the interior is all Bmw from what I saw. As others have said, hope the engineers spent their time on other stuff like handling rather than on all the stick in tat.
Also the front lip in some of the pictures looks unusually high compared to the other side of the wheel arch near the door?
I like it but then I am a fan of Japanese design that shows a bit of flair and eccentricity, although I agree with an earlier comment on some Z4 resemblance. German cars are evermore bland and generic as they seemingly mimic each other, it all looks too serious and boring for me. I am a Type R owner though so many will laugh at my car choice!
Car magazine have a good write up on it...

Also looks a lot smaller than the previous Supra, if I remember correctly it was more of a GT type size?

I don't like it at all, In my opinion it looks really cheap. The red colour does nothing for it either the grey is much nicer.
It strikes me as a car a lad from Wigan would drive wearing a Burberry cap.
I quite like it, I am a bit of a Jap car fan boy admittedly.
I just don't know its going to be good enough for the money. Could they not have stuck a turbo on the GT86 and tuned that a bit instead? I know the GT86 is getting on a bit but I think that would be more in the spirit of Toyota's performance models; just like when the 80's Celica evolved into the Celica Supra 2.8i
I'm coming across as a hater I know but I think it looks really awful. Like a GT86 with one of those Mansory body kits.
Also, forgive me but the Supra was never held in that high regard so I don't see why people are getting so misty eyed about it.
I don’t think an S5 or C43 is in the same playing field as a Boxster or Cayman .
S5 especially is a soft cruiser not a sports car.

Looks great in Red - though I'm not sure I'd buy one over a Cayman or Boxster
If the new Z4/Supra is anything like the previous Z4 then in terms of driving characteristics and dynamics it will have more in common with the likes of the S5 and C43 than the Boxster or Cayman.
I was just reading on Pistonheads that 2 4 cylinder versions are being released in Japan so probably safe to assume they will come here as well. The less powerful of which will have just shy of 200bhp via a 4 cylinder turbo. I'd be more interested in seeing that engine in the GT86.
It's definitely growing on me.

It definitely has paddles. Looks good from some angles, oddly awkward from others. Disappointed to see so much BMW influence with the interior.
