@@tommybason6057 I know Toyota said they had full control over it and shared platforms are nothing new and VERY GOOD for the industry. The Supra may not have come back otherwise. The shared parts right out of the BMW bin is not an issue as well. I do like the look of some of their options. It's just not very [Toyotay] in there especially when they added some MK IV to the look outside. I'll admit I thought there would be some version or nod to the prior car in the center console. Not sure why they played this one overly safe. It's not going to age well at all. Lastly I know people seem to like these raised center displays but it looks terrible in my eyes. It's like they designed the whole interior, got it approved, started building them and someone said hey guys you forgot to add a screen to this car. Oh crap. ahhh. Just stick it here. GO GO GO. Can't wait for this trend to end. Even motorizing them wont help. Just build them into the dash already. Even a hood going to the bottom of the windshield would solve some of the tacked on look. Then again I don't plan on buying one and must not be apart of the demographic they are after. Right now Tesla is the worst. I swear if you take one out you will find a vesa mount on the back.......

[@jasonhudson8336]

LKNANML yeah but it’s like they teased us with this perfect FT1 and put it in a vice and smashed it and then watered it down. It’s just too damn tiny and the interior is also too small it’s like they wanted there version of the 370Z but then they shouldn’t have used the Supra name

[@Lostsage01]

I like BMW’s for their engineering and how they feel when you drive them, but hate the excess maintenance / repair costs when the cars get older. I like Toyota’s because they’re solid, reliable cars with low ownership costs, if maybe a bit boring. If I buy this, am I getting the best of both worlds? Or the worst of both worlds? Am I going to regret the purchase when the warranty is up? There was a rumor before the car’s reveal that Toyota had gone through the BMW motor and quality tested every part, redesigning those that didn’t meet Toyota standards - much to the surprise of BMW. However, Toyota has said basically squat publicly about the reliability testing they did of these various BMW parts, which has me questioning the validity of that rumor. Bottom line for me - a BMW engineered Toyota sounds interesting, but this could be a better car to lease vs buy.

[@Cyba_IT]

Great point about reliability. And I suspect if that were true about Toyota testing the Bimmer parts they'd keep it on the lowdown because if they publicised it then they're basically broadcasting that BMW parts are shit. They're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place.

[@YusufGinnah]

Don't buy into all the marketing hype about parts being re-tested and strengthened... Toyota may have tested parts for fitment compatibility but nothing's been changed. The part numbers are even the same as the z4. And all Toyota dealerships that provide servicing to the new Supra have a single BMW technician on-site to do Supra servicing. So it's a BMW that they're now able to sell to Toyota customers. Everybody wins... Except the buyer of course.

[@YusufGinnah]

@Chaminda Thushara Ruwan Kasturi No doubt buddy, I have mad respect for the B58, it's very tunable. But it isn't a Japanese creation. Simply put, with Toyota being maybe the world's largest auto manufacturer, they can't have the excuse that a new model will cost too much to produce.

[@thisisjcs3620]

@@wdmfan first of all, the main reason why Toyota borrowed "soulless" components from BMW was because they didn't want to spend their cash on developing a new I6. If they did come up with a 3JZ or whatever, the sticker price of the A90 would've been too expensive and it wouldn't be so much of an affordable sports car, meaning you guys would still complain. Meanwhile BMW produces some of the most bulletproof I6s and they also have a solid motorsports background, so you could see where that was going. The Supra name and the 2J themselves wouldn't be considered "legendary" if it weren't for FnF, since Toyota themselves replaced the 2J in favor of the 3S and the 3UZ on actual motorsports like JGTC. If Toyota were to use an existing engine from their own arsenal like the Camry V6, the Supra fanboys would still complain.

@TheEpic Triot Keep justifying it but it is not what a Supra. Shared parts and chassis with another totally different maker is not how or what a Supra should be. Your argument is like justifying a BMW M3 or any BMW as not being a HYUNDAI because of tiny differences when the whole thing should be 100% unique and original. It is a Supra by name only tainted and unoriginal. More a totally different product that is not a Supra.

[@LnDSuv]

Next thing you know Toyota will outsource Land Cruiser production to Land Rover 😂😂😂

[@joshschegan]

All of the hates on the new Supra, but in Japan itself this new "Supra" is very well perceived

[@hellobooom]

Didn't know they were into BMWs

[@KeenanStyles]

That's because the people here dont live in a constant haze of stupidity like fan boys who've never owned any time if Supra to begin with across the internet crying about the new car. Even Orido the Supra god is in love with this car and his credibility and word has way more meaning than the typical internet fan boys who can only wish they had a Supra.

[@epicshade3463]

I think that's because they actually trust and put faith into the successor of one of the engineers who originally built the car now.But to other people they wont let it go and realize the actual good reasons why they decided to go this route. Just saying this video proves my point in a lot of ways. The actual heritage of the actual engineering is carried on in it.

[@AugmentedGravity]

I hate the unjustified hate haters give this car.

[@quest8795]

The fact we even *got* a new Supra that wasn't a hybrid or electric (or even a crossover SUV) is enough. The fact that it's made with German engineering is a good thing. It's a sports car, not a car made for people to say "ew BMW".

[@jimmyspencer1221]

It would be a great car if they didn’t name it the Supra you gave it to high a pedistal and it can’t match up to the fame of the old one should of just called it the new gt86

[@yissibiiyte]

The question is how much did Toyota pay for this video?

[@ifixthings633]

How many ass did you have to kiss to say it's a good car? At least Chris is honest about it rather than being optimistic and carry on with a total disappointment 😒

[@mykevenable8180]

Finally, some good reporting, this !!

[@idknils2920]

Is it a Supra As long as it has the badge and the spirit YES

[@adh6712]

Love how Chris still mentions the 2JZ engine..respect!

[@Strike86]

What they should have done is used the V8 from the Lexus RC-F. That would have been proper.

[@christopherrod7]

5:40 He asked him if it was a good sports car? As if that will justify it as a Supra. This may be a good sports car but it's no supra, and that's what the nice/newbie guy doesn't understand - it's about character and experience. Chris appreciates not just the engineering, but the character and culture behind the legendary mk4

[@привет_лунатикам]

*The roads haven't changed, but the competition has. No one bothered about the BMW aspect? Haha, many many are. Is it a good car - yes, no one denying that. Is it a good Supra - no*

[@deriwhiteswift]

Anyone sees something strange with chris harris' head?

[@KeenanStyles]

I'm just here to laugh at all the butthurt internet Supra fan boys in the comments

[@plutobaby9996]

I’m just here to say I miss Jeremy

[@FluffyTitanium]

Watch grand tour

[@bowser515]

Chris Harris is only thing that Top gear has going for it now. Just get in as much if him as you can...

[@TheDoosh79]

"Imagine doing your big shop at Lidl and getting home to find your bags full of Waitrose gear" - lol, genius.

[@alex042687]

Lame . . . Give me the BMW version with a manual on that twisty road any day. I'll take my 94 MKIV 6 speed instead.

[@idknils2920]

Supra Checklist Turbo I6 ✓ Tuneable as all hell ✓ Good nimble sportswear ✓ Japanese looks ✓ Seems like a supra

[@tom9154]

It's a bmw so reliability will be an issue. I just think Toyota phoned it in with the supra just like they did with the brz/frs/gt86. Toyota has talented engineers and I haven't heard of them having financial problems at the moment. They could've made this in house if they wanted to. MHO anyway.

[@carboydorifutoparty3976]

Well isn't that because they've been using the same engines and trans for decades now while nearly every brand now makes new engines or uses new trans? They obviously weren't going to put money down in making a fresh new sportscar knowing that they can barely sell a car that's worth 100k. They knew financially that it was going to fail just like the last one if they tried making it themselves so they went with someone that actually had experience in making sports cars and still made i6s.

[@jorgnyoa3561]

I went to a dealer 2 hours away just to sit in one. And it didt feel like a toyota at all. I got a massive bmw feel the moment i sat down

[@BF109G4]

The joke is, it was recalled by BMW

[@Shivaprasad.04]

Old one was much better looking

[@greathey1234]

Old one is still the last one. This is fake

[@michaelmassart2349]

If this car is granted to soil the Supra name and legacy, we therefore should also embrace those two new barely understandable TG hosts? Too much tripe to swallow in my book! Thank God for Chris Harris, he single handily rescues Top Gear from it's own demise. Sadly, badging this as FlopGear comes too close for comfort lately ...

[@basithph8958]

It needs a manual transmission!

[@seang2822]

Toyota could have based the Supra off the lc500 or the rcf

[@ashishpeddada7469]

The accent is a wee bit Scottish 😂😂😂

[@NikesZ28]

Ill bet you its just simply about profit, Toyota could have made a whole new car but the suits in there office would have had a little less profit. Greed, never a good thing. Im with Harris on this.

[@carboydorifutoparty3976]

Well...they can barely sell cars like the LC and they wanted the car to be in the price range that it is now. So would u want them to give u a 400hp Camry powered mk5 with the weight of a rcf?

[@EazyE373]

Bloody hell you lot are late aren’t you

[@MHanssen]

Why are people so dumb, 90% of the comment section is just "it is not a toyota, it is a bmw" or calling it a z4 even though it the Toyota Supra mk5 is more Toyota than bmw

[@mrjjthor]

The mkv is definitely not more Toyota than BMW.

[@svenzerx8490]

but the mk4 was modded on steroids which was perfect 💀👌
