Toyota Supra

Surely aftermarket vents will be available.

I know it shouldn't have to be the case when buying a car, but if I really liked the car and was in the position that I could buy 1 I wouldnt let that stop me as no doubt it will be a great bit of kit.

Im sure I read somewhere that the fake vents are there to make it easier to install proper vents for tuned/race cars in the future.

And how exactly are you supposed to make a proper vent out of a fake duct in the car door ? It's impossible unless you are going to cut a big hole in the door edge and door jam which I think is structural.

They put themselves squarely in the boy racer category with this design and then priced themselves out of the same category. Too bad it could have been a very nice car. The Japanese should have borrowed BMW design as well as engineering.

It would also totally muck up the aerodynamics of the car and suck all the rain and mud in.

I'm still not sure either, that the G29 is a better design, from the front end view. Though familiarity has help it's acceptance.

Put me down for a Supra any day of the week.

I’m not quite sure what the tirade against the Supra is..although of course everyone is entitled to their view..the G29 is littered with faux styling vents and other detritus as do many cars today..Honda Civic anyone?

At least it doesn’t look like it’s been tipped into a BMW blender and poured out like some homogeneous gloop..

Oh I don't know. Of the Civic range the type R is "probably" IMHO, the best looking. The fact that the shopping trolleys bellow it also look like they should do 200mph plus is the bit that would really embarrass me if forced to drive one.

nb. Don't think for one nano second that I think the Civic Type R is good looking btw, this is simply relative to it's siblings.

You have got to be kidding..

Why do all the cars have to look they play a part in the transformer movie ? Yuk
I'm against fake vents on any car.

Sadly even my beloved 'Yellow Peril' has a load of faux vents across the bottom of the nose..but BMW went badly downhill after that..

[scootr]

It's true even the Stang has a few... Al teast there is none in the door!?

Next thing you know we'll all be driving electric cars with Ferrari sound tracks blaring out the back

At least the R goes like it looks and I suspect most of those ducts and wings actualy do something, good or bad.

This pair are mere silly looking shopping trolleys.

Not for me but someone must like them.

I've seen a metallic blue one a couple of times at a local car meet and I like the basic shape, but all those vents make it look a bit over-styled IMHO.

But I'd still prefer it to a G29, because at then end of the day it's a Coupe! Now when are they going to get around to the manual gearbox option they hinted at when it was launched?

That's what I'm talking about. All fake vents will be forgiven when a manual 6 spd is offered

Exactly!

The new Supras do look so much better in the metal... The styling doesn't really suit online and pictures for some reason.

+1 With a manual it would be perfect

I suspect either one would be great with a stick and 3 pedals.
