Damn. I saw them live in Austin once and they put on a fantastic show. Need to make that happen again.  Read more

I fully expect the next Supra to be design by Rian Johnson Read more

I’m 5'11" and don’t remember any headroom issues. The cabin was fine on that front. Read more

It is a sort of retcon on the Supra, for sure. Hence why the new car is a two-seater. But a sports car is what the team wanted to make this time. Read more

I didn’t think of it that way, but yes, I’d take the LC over this at the same price. Read more

Yeah, I got it off XM too, and I am similarly not sick of it yet. Read more

The hybrid tech is clever, but you’re right: this is probably the best coupe design of the past 10 years or so. Fight me. Read more

So everybody in Editorial is mad about this too. Besides the fact that it looks terrible, we have to actually work in Kinja all day long. Read more

As someone who has been to actual jail for speeding, I fully admit it’s hard to square this against reckless driving or street racing. The Cannonball Run is and was illegal. This was the entire point. I do believe there’s a huge difference between “Here is what happened” and “You should go out and do this.” But this Read more

The first one was a pain the ass. The second, a 2015, performed flawlessly.  Read more

Weren’t you just trying to buy a right-hand drive Cressida full of bees? Read more

Tada implied to me once that the off-the-shelf platforms they had wouldn’t have made the Supra handle the way they wanted. Beyond that it was cost, time and the need to put money into future tech instead of low-volume sports cars. Read more
