Just How Much Toyota DNA Is Really In That New Supra You Want?

You’ve all seen the 2020 Toyota Supra’s exterior by now. Some of you like it and some of you think it’s boring, but none of that matters. What matters is the hardware, which is why I crawled under the Supra at the Detroit Auto Show to get a look at the car’s mechanical bits. Here’s a look at how they compare to those of the BMW Z4 and BMW 3 Series.

Before we get into the underbody components, let’s just have a look at the Supra’s engine bay:

As long as you don't find any Hyundai or Kia parts, everything is O.K.

I can't believe they would do a thinly veiled rebadge job with one of their most hallowed nameplates. Whats next...Land Cruiser redesign will be a rehashed X5?

What would at least be a two decade leap into modernity.

Why not? I'll be glad to spend Toyota money for BMW engine.

Actually I think the opposite, you are spending BMW money for Toyota nameplate.

The DNA if there is any is only in the exterior styling. This is nothing more than a cut price restyled Z4 with slightly revised suspension.
