also the Sc interior is nice....when its not falling apart...cracked vents, cracked door panels, window surrounds...etc. To fully restore and swap a GTE motor into an SC you are almost right there with buying a supra. The interior alone on the sc is at least 4-5 grand to restore if not more. Supra dosent have that issue, and for the most part the TT supras are in excellent shape because they are worth alot of money and people take care of them unlike the cheap SCs that your everyday person dosent give a crap about.
I think the sc interior is designed very nice but its not designed to last, 1st gen gs/ls/ES dont have those issues which completly blows my mind.

1994 US MR2 Production = 625 (of those, 300ish were turbo)
1995 US MR2 Production = 93 (of those, 74 were turbo)
Owning a USDM 94/95 is a special treat. I often regret selling my low milage '94. Younger members, don't think I'm bagging on you... but a 18 y/o showed up and bought it. He planned on parking it outside, daily driving it... etc. I felt bad for the car, but dip**** money spends the same as enthusiast money
A 95 that hasn't been messed with CAN command Supra TT prices in the right circumstances. The MR2 had a couple things going against it to stop production. #1 the price was getting out of hand. a 1995 Turbo sticker was 35k+. IMO most people looking for a sportly Toyota and had 35+ to drop would go to a Supra instead, but who knows. Also Toyota apparently really didn't want to rework the car for OBDII. If you ever have a friend who somehow gets their hands on a '95 NA or Turbo, make sure they just leave it alone. If they want to hot rod an MR2 find a '91 for $1500 and call it a day.

These cars are often ratty because is IS a Lexus people who buy these cars originally typically buy/dump quickly. More often than not they take poor care of the vehicle too. At the point they dump the car, its devalued so much that it ends up in ... well... not the best hands yet again. This goes for pretty much every luxury car in my experience. Like you said it looks like DOGS lived in the car, it grosses me out! I looked at about 15 SC400's when I bought mine and most should've been crushed.
Unless you end up with a one owner car like many of us did, and the owner wasnt a jackass.... good luck!

This thread really needs to be locked...SC vs Supra is like fighting against yourself since
they basically have same chassis...Lookwise everyone has their own taste..
Why bash each other when you can bash other crappy cars...like..civic..

Wanted to say one more thing....**** Tiburon's. My roomate had an 03.
I did all the work on it. Worst car ever. Now they are being recalled for the frames prematurely rusting out. Anyone that buys a Tiburon and thinks its good...drive off a bridge

im willing to bet that 80% of the people that own older SCs on here dont have 25 grand cash to buy a supra outright(which is the only way you can get one). Im also willing to bet that 90% of the people in this threadw that said they would take sc over a supra, dont have 25gs cash to buy a supra, just saying.

I think that by comparing them to a civic you are insulting all of us 
And why this celica boys try to put the Supra´s front. IMO front and headlights are the worst thing a Supra have. On the oposite side, I do really like the rear.
