Anyone else seen this? Cover of "BestCar" has the new NSX, Miata(roadster), Supra and of course, the GT-R... they all look awesome! I love that new miata... supra has a funny face and the NSX isn't my type, but the GT-R so nice!

Joy!

i think they mangled the r35, i dont like it .. yet. im sure it'll grow on me. I like the ass of it though. The supra is fuct up looking... the miata has been growing on me more and more.. the last body style finally looked sporty. and then the nsx, well .. who wouldnt like an nsx

kurissuS13 · 04-09-2003, 11:22 AM

why do they consider the MX-5 Roadster Mazda's Super Car?!? the RX series is their Super Car, why not put the RX-8, or the prototype '05 RX-7, instead of the Roadster? bah!

btw, the Supra looks kinda funny. not funny "ha ha", but funny "aw, shit..."

Fastback180 · 04-09-2003, 11:52 AM

Those are all very confusing cars.

the head · 04-09-2003, 11:53 AM

if the toyota was referred to as the 2000gt it would make more sense because that it what it looks like

transitive verb

1. erode: to weaken something by removing or wearing away material from its base or from beneath it The chalk cliffs are being gradually undermined by the waves.

2. weaken gradually: to diminish or weaken something gradually Successive failures at job interviews began to undermine my confidence.

What the hell is that from? My friend had that audio clip on this old site he had. I always thought he said a "loadertottie" in that little voice.

thon · 04-09-2003, 12:41 PM

its from peewee herman's big adventure

WhiteNissanS13 · 04-09-2003, 12:45 PM

Miata- sexy
NSX-sexy too
Supra- WTF? mr-s headlights smashed onto a sienna grill?
gtr- Supersized aerodynamic altima headlights, smashed onto a g35c

019 · 04-09-2003, 12:45 PM

the r35 front is pretty ugly imo... it's too boxy looking if you look at it from the side. the rear's great tho. just not the front. the supra looks so disgusting in that picture!! it's like one of those things that make you wonder "what were they thinking of??" the nsx looks nice tho. the miata... can you say "mazda 6"?

Chokets · 04-09-2003, 12:46 PM

Woo! PeeWee's Big Adventure! It's a great movie, Not many people realise Tim Burton Directed it, and Phil Hartman was one of the Writers, it's great, just bought the DVD this weekend and watched it, so i was inspired add on to my sig.!

the head · 04-09-2003, 12:52 PM

supra is designed from retro styling cues base on 2000gt i like it

KiDyNomiTe · 04-09-2003, 03:33 PM

All ugly except the miata, miata isn't really a super car though. But I hear of it getting some rotary power, that would be sweet.

I hate the looks of the rest but I am sure they will be some of the greatest powerhouses we have seen, with rumors of a 400+ HP V8 GTR, and I am sure Toyota will be competing with it, and the NSX is just going to be an expensive car, but still a nice ride.

IMO Mazda seems to be doing the best looks wise out of Toyota, Mazda and Honda, just awaiting the interesting parts, the engines

EDIT: Whats the bottom say, I see a 2000GT, S2K, 240Z, and some other cars I can't identify.

*sykikchimp* · 04-09-2003, 03:38 PM

I believe those are all artist renditions..

timmybgood · 04-09-2003, 03:56 PM

all of those cars should be taken to a quiet spot in the yard and shot, followed by the designers. maybe then honda, mazda, nissan, and toyta will hire some people to make these cars look good

SR240DET · 04-09-2003, 04:08 PM

why cant they just leave the cars like they are now... they look fine...

sxtasy · 04-09-2003, 05:06 PM

The "Supra" (as shown) is designed with styling that emulates the Toyota 2000GT.

Note the similarities:

240meowth · 04-09-2003, 06:04 PM

man, that toyota 2000gt is just absolutley brilliant, i wouldn't mind having one when i am too damn rich. 'cause you have to think about all the freakin maintance you have to pay up for that old car...

KiDyNomiTe · 04-09-2003, 06:29 PM

looks kinda like a 240z and a mazda rx8

I still prefer the 240Z though

, best looking datsun IMO, prolly the best looking car pre 1980, but I really haven't seen that many cars from that era

the "im a loner, dottie, a rebel" is a get up kids song... ive never watched pee wee's adventure, so that must be where they got it.

DRO916 · 04-11-2003, 01:42 AM

too bad theres no other views...

can anyone get other views of the new supra? and maybe the other cars too except for the new gtr, i've seen plenty of those.

the NSX seems to be the sexiest IMO.....

sanmiam · 04-12-2003, 02:14 AM

2000GT = cool looking car for 1968
New Supra = pug nosed red-headed step child that got dropped on their face one too many times

KiDyNomiTe · 04-12-2003, 09:31 AM

Here are some from SupraForums

Whats more interesting is this: JGTC news
The JGTC Supra will have a bored 5.2L (from the 3UZ-FE) NA car instead of the 3SGTE

and a 350Z for GT300

Tuck&Poke · 04-12-2003, 12:44 PM

they all look ok, cept for the supra.... tooo retro. and the other supra concepts are ugly as hell too.... They need something more agressive.

dogga · 04-17-2003, 09:03 AM

Really really don't like where they're heading with the r35.
