I'm not opposed to it. Purpose evolves. The path to that purpose evolves. As long as the Supra looks striking and was built with passion, it'll be fine. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about a 3 cylinder in the GR Corolla, but it's phenomenal. The product development team gave all the f***s and that's what matters. That passion made a very special machine.
If toyota makes this motor and platform as friendly and open to the aftermarket as it has done with the overlanding crew before the GX and LC customer launch this might take up the 2jz mantle.To me, this is more sacrilegious than BMW collaborating with Toyota to build a GR Supra. Now sure, there is a 4-cylinder model, but very few people purchase that one anyways. The vast majority of people buy the inline-six.
If they decide everything is inhouse or turn key i get your point @F1 Silver Arrows
