Default Supra Concept Fail
So I'm thinking the Supra was originally styled off of the Lexus IC500 platform, and some marketing genius said 'nah let's use RC platform and make more money.'

It's really kind of sad, when I first saw the concept I said I'm buying one. Now, no way. Nissan came out with a Skyline easily tunable to 1,000hp, living up to the iconic name, and Toyota comes out with a 300hp rebadged Lexus that stole an engine from my wife's 335i.

Fail. Cool car, but R35 cool? No, sorry.

Agree. I was even thinking, get this right and I'll sell the old Vette and buy one.

They didn't.
