So apparently only 7 cars are affected by badly welded seatbelt mounts, and their entire car is being replaced.

Saw a red one in traffic yesterday. Honestly, the design just isn't working for me and I can't put my finger on why.

It's awkward somehow.

Pictures suggest fussy details and not enough wheelbase.

It and the LC couldn't be more different.

I saw a black one at a cars and coffee and thought it looked fantastic in real life.

Great video by Jason Cammisa for Hagerty.  The M2 is the spiritual successor to the MK4 Supra.  Also "capability is not joy"   :golfclap:

I personally love the Supra more and more every time I see one on the road.  Last week I saw a white one with some old school fast and furious ricing and a hoop wing.... Loved it

Would easily be at the top of my list if I wanted a 2 seater

It's too much of a penis car for me. You can see the superhero spandex bulge in the front.

It would be more appealing as a drop-top.

Camissa is a bit over the top and childish sometimes, but he's probably one of the top 3 car reviewers out there.  It's incredible how nuanced and minor things he can pick up on.  He gives great information about how cars actually drive, he actually knows how to verbalize technical things he doesn't like with the car, and has an amazing memory for it all.

I love his instagram reviews.  They're short and really to the point.

Yeah Camissa is my current fave to watch, but he did annoy with his Testarossa video, claiming that "everyone thinks the Testarossa was a hyper-exotic, when it's really a GT car", and then gets all preachy why we are all wrong. Dude, some guys today might be mistaking it for an '80s exotic, but us from the '80s knew exactly what it was then and we still know it as a GT car today. GTO and F40 were the hyper-exotics, and the 'Rossa was the GT. We know this. Chill out.

I think his reviews are good, but I loathe the click bait nature imbedded in his work.  No Jason, I don't care how smart or nuanced you want to make yourself out to be, nobody would ever consider an M2CS as the successor of the mk4 Supra - and you didn't need to throw that in the title to just draw clicks.  Just let your work speak for itself...

That jump cut @2:43 into the vid is brilliant.
