I always thought it turned in low sales figures because it was so friggin' ugly. It may have the edge performance-wise, but face it - a large part of owning a sports car is looks and Toyota has always trailed in that regard. Toyota should fire their stylists. The Supra is ugly, the MR2 is ugly and Celica is ugly. I wouldn't buy any of them just because they are ugly. Don't care how well they do or do not perform. : You're right that the Supra is a MUCH higher performance car, and an easier modified supercar. : You're right that the general consensus likes the Z styling better. : But you're ABSOLUTELY wrong about the future. 20 years from now the Supra will be remembered as an elusive, rare gem in the japanese supercar area from the 1990s era. It will be like a car most people don't even know about, and the people who do know about it will hold it in the highest regard. It will be a collectors piece, a thing of immense value. : The Z will also be known as a great car from the same era, but it will be nowhere as elusive or special. There will still be many Zs driving around on the road probably. : The smartest thing Toyota ever did was limit the Supra to 12,000 sales and stop production in 1998. That way they pretty much sealed their spot as king in the japanese supercar market in America for the 1990s. 20 years from now, when you ask someone knowledgeable for the most exotic, rare, elusive, beautiful, and insanely powerful car of the 1990s era, no one will say "the Z." The Supra will be the one. : And in my opinion, the Supra looks 1000 times more gorgeous and exotic than the Z. : If the Z is like, I don't know, Cameron Diaz. The Supra is NOT like a fucking fat chick. That's bullshit. The Supra would be like Iman. Or some woman way more gorgeous and understated. Beeyyooootch!! : -solrac-
