Being trolled by local Toyota dealer
Had to laugh at this billboard for the local Toyota dealer. Board says, “Still waiting for a Corvette?” Sorry re the clarity of the pic-but you get the drift. Yes, I think I’ll wait a while, thank you. TPW 7/20, if it hasn’t moved again.

Still waiting on your ground breaking car of the year Corvette, maybe you want to settle for this BMW Z4 with Toyota badges?
The MKIV supra was an incredible car but the current version is not that. The lack of enthusiasm in the community of fanboys shows it.

Gotta give 'em credit for being on top of things. I can't imagine GM ever coming up with something like that... wait, I can't remember GM even advertising the Vette for years.

Toyota butchering the current gen Supra so badly is even worse than Honda's missteps with NSX gen 2.

It’s a great handling feel car that needs a decent engine. That 205hp feels like 180hp probably minimal average hp and low revving. My old 90s 5.0 mustang feels way faster in stock form even while carrying much more weight going straight.
I actually traded that for a 2020 civic type r now since both little kids want to ride together and they love the oversized hot wheel style.

86 is a wonderful chassis that's underpowered.....it really is a modern day 240SX, If they woulda gave it some boost it would've been perfect.
I feel the only thing keeping the Mk V back is lack of stick, it really is a solid car that's full of ///M suspension and BMW Turbo 6s are cheap to mod and respond very, very well to tunes, piggybacks and bolt-ons - The dollar to power gain ratio is 90's Honda Civic-seque.
Frankly, the C8 stole everybody's Lunch.

Banned Scam/Spammer
A billboard that urges one to buy their product because you can't get the one you really want is a sure sign of desperation. This car is absolutely ridiculous looking and an epic failure.
