I honestly haven't been following this car very much, but I don't understand...wtf, why does Toyota need any BMW engineering?

Toyota engineering, all things considered, is probably the best in the world.

Why does the new Supra need BMW crap? The last one sure didn't!

Their partnership with BMW not sure true reasons my guess is they wanted to keep an Inline 6 turbo because of the history and they didn't have their own already. Developing an engine from scratch may have been too costly for them especially when their focus is on the CUV market and how many other cars could you share the I6 with in the Toyota line. So hence the partnership. I would have rather them use the 3.5 TTV6 from LS500 with a DCT trans but it is what it is.

Moonroof - are you kidding me lol

M Driver’s Package is an M Driving School Class, not an option that you will see on the car. They do increase the top speed to over 155mph which is useless on the road and most tracks.

Your grand Total = $64,500

Exec Pack is useless and if you want Manual then your at $60k with superior engine, suspension, brakes, cooling and tech then the Supra.

$64,000 is still $12,000 more than a Premium Plus Supra. I'll keep my $12,000.

Got it - so its all about styling for you. BTW if you think M2 is stubby which I agree with then this Supra is not much better.
I can accept that.

I cant imagine regular person being too comfortable in this car.
Its a Z4 with a metal top, no trunk, no storage space.

M2 you can daily, has proper trunk and fit 4 ppl.

I think the Supra is really good looking, I would seriously consider buying one. I wouldnt buy it as a daily, I have dailies already.

The Premium Plus model is the upgrade package car. The base car is $49k. $52k will have nav, heated seats, etc.

I would also take this over the M2 I think the styling of the MKV looks better than the M2, daily driving or fitting more passengers isn't a concern of mine. M2 blends in at least around here this will be different. Only thing that would be deal breaker is lack of manual option.

I meant the Premium car. The Premium car has all the equipment mentioned.

You said a full loaded M2 with all options tops out at $64,500. Whether you think those options are worth it or not doesn't matter. Some people want them. You're not getting an M2 Comp for 64K.

Im honestly somewhat impressed. I was uninterested at first after the leak photos, but 4.0 0-60. 335hp not impressive but give it a few years a used model with a few bolt ons should be a nice fun little car. Should be able to make some decent power.

i see comments like this a lot, but i think a tesla 3 could beat it... electric cars really are a game changer in terms of performance.
