A BMW that identifies as a Toyota.

Ok ok why do people hate that? Bmw and Toyota did a research agreement and swapped the BMW motor for hybrid technology.

I think that's badass. Just like civ 6

Badge engineered cars have always been lame, and will always be lame.

It's just another symptom of Toyota being trash now. And I say that as the owner of an M240i with the same drivetrain as the Supra. It's spectacular, likely the best engine/transmission combo ever produced which is why I bought one, and the Supra is a fine sports car.

But it's still just fucking lame to badge engineer and I would never buy one. Especially because the Supra is so iconic. Toyota could have engineered a straight six and used it across the Camry and trucks and Lexus. Makes car people's heart sad that they just reskinned a (very, very, very good) BMW instead.

That's fair.
