All this talk of a Supra on a Porsche forum? LOL! Would you guys REALLY swap brands? Myself, I just drove a McLaren 570GT and a Ferrari 458 and am right back where I started with Porsche. There's something very RIGHT about these cars.

Just sayin'...

The new Supra is essentially engineered by BMW and it's going to be made at the Steyr Magna plant in Austria like the Z4. If you're not looking at the Z4 you're not going to look at a Supra.

And wake me up when BMW decide to make real sports cars again.

Maybe it is nostalgia, but I am a fan. Always been a fan of the RX-7, NSX, MKIV Supra and R32 Skyline. No, I'm not at all likely to make a switch, but the article I read made it clear the Cayman was sort of their target/benchmark, so I was curious what others have heard or thought. Yes, an FR-S/BRZ type collab with BMW would be disappointing. If this is a rebadged Z4, I'm not interested in the slightest. It is said the departure from the Z4 is way more substantial than originally thought though.
