Personally, I'm very disappointed that Toyota went to BMW for parts (did BMW get some Toyota turn signals in exchange?). I understand that Toyota want to save money, but if Toyota can't afford tooling for a new car then no one can.
I think its good that they've revived the Supra name because there did seem to be a shortage of sporty models in the range in recent years, so it will be fun to see what some of the tuners in Japan can do with the car.

Seriously though, BMW? Maybe we could just do the world a favour and set fire to every Supra as it leaves the production line.

I think not only the cost of 'tooling for a new car', but also a new factory for an in-line 6, along with the associated design / testing costs of that engine, made the option of partnering up with someone much more viable.

For my opinion, I think the BMW 6 is a good motor, and I think the Toyota / BMW versions will handle and preform quite differently. Who else would you go to for a in-line 6?
