footprint and dimensions too small. its confined to roadster proportions bc it's platform-sharing with one.
the MKIV was a GT for it's time...this shyt a BRZ with a longer hood and sharper lines.
I think Toyota fukked up not building it on Lexus architecture...RC dimensions/platform + RC-F Engine would have been the most respectable look if configurations from the LC500 were too heavy.
Toyota gets props for not overdoing it like Honda did the NSX but they undershot it too much.
Next-gen Nissan Z will put this shyt down.
The NSX - SH is a great car, it offers comparable technology to 1m dollar hypercars at 1/8 of the price.. Only issue with nsx is the weight (forget the whole it's honda/acura interior so was the original nsx no one bytched back then). It's suppose to be a daily driver japanese hybrid sport car wtf was folks expecting. At least it's not the i8, now that is true robbery 365hp for a 140K car.
You could of picked one up for 130-150K and lose a lot less than all of its competition in that price range if you still owned your NSX like everyone else on nsxprime.
I cannot stand the car community anymore, just a bunch of ego's at every car show being hypocrites at every direction. Folks don't know what they want out of Japan and that's the truth. The latest Ford GT suffered the same faith has the new NSX-SH at 3x-4x the price with bullshyt performance for what they promised and delivered, it didn't receive the flack Acura got. Acura was telling you they were creating a car that was meant to be driven everyday, Ford and the rest of the brands were not.
What I want out of Japanese sport cars is a fun ride that's offered at a price difference where I'm getting more performance than all the extra junk they thrown in modern cars to hike up the price.
Now we have to wait until test drives etc come out, if the toyota cannot deliver in what it can do on the street than I'll agree with everyone else. In my case all it has to do is give a similar enjoyable drive to a Cayman while it cost 20-40K less than one. We also need to see what the modding community can do with it. It cannot be build on the Lexus platform, they are heavy ass cars - after owning 2 F models. The difference between the RC-F and GS-F from the IS-F is minimally from a generational jump. A new supra that drove like that would of been a travesty. The new supra needs to agile, like a bmw but has room for further improvement. The days of expecting Japanese cars to compete number to number at a fraction of it's competitors is long gone. Technology is far too evolved to see that era again.
Continues long rant.. nissan isn't going to do much different with the next generation Z, they have been pushing the current generation which is also a minimal difference between the 350z and 370z for what feels like 2 decades now. The only thing I can see Nissan doing is pushing it more into the Br-Z lane, it's hard to believe they'll create a new medium between a Br-Z and Gt-R kind of car. The Gt-R is a decade old now and has seen minimal changes too. Started at 65K and now it's what 110K
. You c as n but an o.g supra at thst price.
