Why Toyota is Killing the Supra. 

They said they could from they beginning. It would’ve been a $100k sports car, and people would’ve still complained. People are already complaining about the Supra being “overpriced” at $60k!

@@mirzamunif you're right... no excuses for Z4 with Supra badges on it! All them damn resources at hand! All they had to do was extend the GR Yaris block and give us the damn straight BY TOYOTA! Thing would have made at least 400+ while N/A and easily almost 700 turbocharged! .... cancel this current shi* and get it right with a Supra by Toyota!!!

@@hpmetabolics7558 won’t happen. Only way a next gen Supra will happen is with BMW or possibly Mazda (or as a spiritual successor in the Lexus lineup). Right now Toyota is focused on bringing back the MR2 and Celica.

@@hpmetabolics7558Toyota is spreading their GR resources thin by bringing back cars such as the Celica and mr2 as well as maintaining the GR corolla and Yaris. Plus it really doesn’t make sense for Toyota to put hundreds of millions into developing powertrains for the Supra that are only gonna be popular with car enthusiasts. Those investors aren’t gonna like that they’re losing millions just so they can appeal to car guys.

Wint ever happen​@@hpmetabolics7558, this would have been possible with the old CEO but like truth be told they're probably going to stop making sports cars soon in all corners of the market

Toyota enthusiasts "bemoan" this car because it doesn't drive like a Toyota sports car. Is that really that hard to understand? If someone slapped a BMW badge on a sports car that DROVE NOTHING LIKE A BMW, I suspect they'd have an issue with it. I personally think the Supra drives terribly; I would never buy one over an M2.

also, Toyota is responsible for the reliability of the B58. I think BMW benefitted from that partnership WAYYYY more than Toyota did. I hope Toyota never does it again, it was a waste of Supra generation. I believe this current gen will end up like the 350z and 370z; a clapped out tuner car. BMW people aren't going to want it and Toyota people aren't going to want it.

@@hamsterbrigade”because it doesn’t drive like a Toyota sports car.” You do realize that if Toyota were to make their inline 6 in house, people would be complaining about how expensive it is. Look at the Acura/Honda NSX and how much it flopped. Lexus lost hundreds of millions of dollars making the LFA. They’re aren’t going to make that mistake again. It’s a 3100-3400 pound grand tourer, it may not be a Toyota inline 6 but they still tuned certain things differently and made it a fun car to drive so idk how that makes any sense. Furthermore Toyota had nothing to do with the development of the b58. bmw has made the b58 years before the Supra came out and was generally very reliable with proper maintenance. Toyota stress tested the engine and certain parts and recommended bmw to make those changes but it remained the same for the most part. The Supra got the b58tu along with the g chassis m340i and m440i. The f chassis has had the b58 since 2016.

The 2j could have been modernized, no need to reengineer

Best unique exotic car under 40k please!

Apparently Akio Toyoda is very fond of the idea of bringing back the Celica. So killing off the Supra might be opening the space for Toyota to bring back the ceica. I’m really hopeful, the Celica is probably my favorite line of Toyota cars ever.

Hopefully it's not crazy expensive. A nice cheap sports car would be great. They could even get a cheap base trim then have a few higher trims for the loaded people. I'm taking about just 1 screen for infotainment, then regular speedometer and such. Analog needs a come back.

They’ll make it a quad turbo 2 cylinder, 1WD, for $95,000 guaranteed

I have heard it is going to be the mid engine MR2(with a new name), with the GR 3cyl.

Hopefully they keep it a two-door, not like Acura and the "Integra".

Plus, it started production back in 2019. It already has lived its cycle. Personally, I believe it could last 1-2 more years, but if they kill it now, they didn’t take it out early or anything

I'm not sure why that logic or reasoning is constantly being lost in the media. Clickbaits perhaps?

It never was a Supra to begin with. Imagine Gibson contracting Fender to relaunch the LesPaul .. massive fail to begin with.

@@m.l.679 Do you realize the history of manufacturers that share vehicles with each other. It's been happening for a long time.

​@@m.l.679you failed the analogies portion of the exam.

toyota is thinking for the future and trying to develop more hybrid cars. The thing is that no one is sure about the future of cars previously we used to think that its electric but the way sells graph of ev's are declining we are not sure about the industry so many companies are not spending that much money on ICEs

Soo true couldn't have said it better myself. They could've made a twin turbo i6 lexus super car with the stats and proportions of a c7 corvette and do a new low cost v6 toyota sports car replacement for the supra without going to bmw. Basically like how Chevy has corvette and camaro.😊

It didn't even have to be an i6. The GTR uses a V6 and people still love it.

Leave mazda alone they on creative mode. We dont need demonic doritos roaming in the streets again😂

Maybe Toyota can just use Mazdas inline 6 and beef it up. They are both great at reliability.

@@likenem The GR Supra is being built in Austria, not Germany.

@@davepaturno4290 my mistake

Agree 💯

That ugly aß slow aß overpriced grand tourer? Have you not seen people losing their šit over Ford calling Mustang Mach E a Mustang?

Why would a boat-sized, luxury and V8 powered car be a supra successor? Be serious bruh

They're both GT cars, but they'd never be able to charge LC500 money for a Toyota. Also, I believe they really wanted to keep it an inline 6.

i’ll help you understand. it’s because that’s the commercialized poor man’s LFA. The design is not similar by coincidence…

Toyota instead stuck two of the three cylinder on the bottom to create a turbo V6. Where do you find this engine? Why it's the one on the Tundra, Sequoia, GX550 and Land Cruiser.

SUPRA!

That thing is ugly tho

@@mikerodz543nope.

Ok buy the lfa then

the lfa was nothing like a supra at all wtf sorta crack rock you smoking on???

@@swagonometry9893 He wants the financial disaster for Toyota and subsequent praise after discontinuation like the LFA and the previous generations of Supra

the lfa was a concept car not to buy, and the new Supra shares the same design language like the lfa but in very ugly and compromised .

AND YOU WANTED TO SPLURGE 750K TO BUY ONE? HAHAHA GOOOD LUCK
