And those fans that grew up with those things now are adults with money in a strong economy to spend on stupid things like cars.
I dont hate the new Supra. I think it looks neat, but I cant get over the fact that its a re-wrapped Z4. Maybe if they had done the interior different instead of lifting the dash straight out of the BMW bin and they didnt do the same thing with the FRS, I'd feel better. I also hate that its not a manual but I'm in the minority on that one - I am sure BMW is behind that as their engineers have stated a pretty clear disdain for the 3-pedal arrangement and they are only doing it for the M2 & M3 because they'd lose half their sales otherwise.
But I do hope it sells well and the sports car market gets some life back into it. You're up next, Mazda & Nissan.
