Seems odd in this day & age that manufacturers are allowed to publish a gross under-rating. For the 2020 model, my calculations show the HP is more than 21% underrated. Assuming 15% drivetrain loss:
346 dyno whp / 0.85 = 407 dyno chp
407 - 335 (rated chp) = 72 chp under-rated
72/335 = 21.5%.
WTH?

I like the new Supra a lot. I just wish it was a little bigger. I don’t fit in them very well.

I think the biggest problem with the Supra is the BMW engine. People that buy Toyota's generally want Toyota reliability. Most know the risks of a used BMW (and as soon as you drive the car off the lot that's what you have).

IMO the new Supra is still one of the ugliest cars ever produced.
I was hoping to buy one till I seen it in person. Should of kept my 1987 model.

I had a Supra back in the day and the car was bullet proof, loved it. I like the new one and I've seen a couple so far. I was driving my Jaguar and noticed a school bus yellow one merging behind me the other day, I was going about 60 mph and he was a couple hundred yards back. I saw him get on it and he went by me at a good clip, the car is fast for sure. I read in a magazine Toyota made a big mistake with window buffeting. When the windows are down the buffeting is so bad it's almost not drive-able.
