Props too toyota the front of that car looks like a aston martin 100%. Great looking car if the price is right they have a volume seller on their hands. And ughhh the nsx doesnt look good in my opinion... That just might be because i hate acura anyways in its day the nsx was the one too beat 91,92!

Someone should merged this thread with the IS500 in Car Chat.

The reason they killed the supra and the Z back then was becasue of their high cost. Nissan came back with a more affordable Z. I hope Toyata will do the same because with a $50K price tag, there are many choices out there thus more competition.

It all comes down to if you want a 4 seater or 2 seater. 4 seater I get the M3, 2 seater I will probably go for the supra. I am sure both of them going to sell like hot cakes, good luck getting either one of them at msrp the first year.

What are some options for a 50k car? You can get new bmw M coupe with 333 hp, a new bmw v8 400hp m3 for 1-2k more, an audi s4 but all with less hp than the new supra. We will have to wait to see how much the new NSX and Skyline GTR will be but I doubt they are going to be in the 50s range.

In my opinion, the IS500 should look something like the blue car in the picture below.
