Most Supra fans were expecting(or wanting) a car actually built by Toyota. Something in the $75-$85k range would have been ideal. Nissan did it in 2008, Toyota has no excuse with the amount of cash they have on hand. In 2008 Nissan provided a $69k car that blew the doors off 911 Turbo, Ferrari, Lambo, etc. Instead we got a hairdresser's BMW with a fixed roof and Supra badge.
i tend to agree; the GTR was also a shock as no one expected what Nissan did... it also came out during a worldwide economic crisis and atill did well... Toyota basically was lazy as funk and even with its cash hoards wouldnt create something outstanding... this doesnt surprise from the guys that still make 4runners and Tacomas with drum brakes, 5 spd trannys and and a 10 year old NA V6 on a false pretense of reliability... imho Toyota is the worst car company in existance.
