Yes, Toyota might be able to sell more of them due to a lower price, but it's not what the Supra was in the past.
This looks like it's going to be the NSX all over again, only in the other direction. Meaning, the original NSX was bare bones, dependable exotic that was a revelation in the exotic car world. Today's NSX is overly complicated for the sake of being complicated and it's $200K. Does it out perform the cars in its class? No. What would the NSX be if it got rid of the fancy AWD electric hybrid system? It would be a 3400lbs. 500HP TT-V6 that would be a blast to drive and probably cost $50-80K less than it does now. Then it would be a 911GTS competitor and it'd be easier to make an R-version that would compete against the GT3RS.
Toyota is watering down the Supra. The specs are close to what it was in 1997. Where's the progress? Disappointing.

You make some great points! Maybe Toyota figures people love the 1997 so much they can just serve up the same meal again lol
