    That guy tells me it's basically just a BMW with a different company moniker.
    Well, it did draw a lot of people looking at it. Not much to see under the hood, just a giant plastic cowl.
    Put a plug on it? I'd be all over it
    :cool:

    That's too bad, not sure why that's so prevalent. Doubly so on a performance car. You could always pop it off, anyway.

    I used to carpool to a class with a guy with a Supra, mid-eighties, very nice car.

    My brother saw a yellow one. I've yet to see one in real life. It looks good but the BMW internals worry me from a longevity point of view.

    Luxury models did it for appear, with what the customer should be checking (oil level, washer fluid) highlighted. In this case, it was probably done to hide BMW logos.

    The stories I've seen about the Supra are on the high, sometimes 100%, dealer mark up.

    Concerns expressed by other crowds is whether to trust a Toyota dealer with it, and whether a BMW one will look at it.
