The Mk3/Mk4 Supra was the beneficiary of Japan's golden age--and solid overengineering--in the 1990s. Stout iron block, strong transmission, not too many electrical doodads. Sort of like 1980s German cars, before the Germans got carried away with fussy sensors and featureitis. It seems a little unlikely that either nation is poised to have a good run like that anytime soon.

- sk5t 8y agoLikely that a lot of folks (y.t. included) won't want to own a Tesla until it's really clear that the company is set up to service broken stuff over the long run. It'll be interesting to see how the Taycan does, and go from there.
- mulmen 8y agoOk so why buy a BMW that has to be fixed by Toyota mechanics? What worse scenario can you even imagine for car maintenance?
- m-ee 8y agoA Tesla is a fast luxury car, not an enthusiast's sport car. They're never meant to see a track, and 0-60 is of almost no importance there. This car is competing with the Cayman and C7 Corvette, or a Miata with a lot of money for parts and tires.
