If you want to talk about setting the world on fire, just take one quick glance at everything that has been revolving around the new Toyota Supra. By essentially building this thing off of BMW architecture, there have been a fair amount of both love and hate filled reviews of the car as folks have been incredibly passionate about the matter, not even concerning themselves with the fact that it has never even seen a public street yet in a consumer capacity. With these issues, a lot of speculation always flies around and it’s tough to really make a final decision until an example has hit the streets, however, for those who are more familiar with the platform, we definitely have a lot to absorb.
