Toyota Supra / BMW Z4
Discussion
Autocar - Toyota/BMW
There are some encouraging noises from both camps - is this going to happen?
Seems to be dragging on... still.

That looks absolutely bonkers. Not sure about the exhaust detailing but its one heck of a head turner.
Not too sold on the BMW version
I like it, what's the BMW version?Not too sold on the BMW version
Fingers crossed between them they come up with a new GT86 but with a NA BMW 3.0 straight six. A round 300bhp and say 1250kg would be fine ;-)

Well, I'll stick my neck out and say they both look deeply ugly. The BMW is fractionally better than the Toyota but they are both spectacularly unappealing. They really do look like the sort of thing a 12 year old would doodle in the back of their maths exercise book.
I genuinely cannot see the desire to make cars look 'aggressive'. Call me an old lefty if you wish (although you'd be wrong) but I can't see any need for there to be more aggression than strictly necessary on the roads. Make something stylish, make something handsome, make something appealing to look at, but why make something look actively aggressive? Or are we back to simply making the biggest, fanciest, codpiece possible?
Oli.

What on earth are you banging on about. Every single sports car worth driving would have at one point been described as having "aggressive styling".I genuinely cannot see the desire to make cars look 'aggressive'.

In another decade it would have been described as "sporty", having sharp defined lines and features makes something look "sporty", except today it's been replaced with the term "aggressive".
It has nothing to do with being actually agressive, there is no aggression on the road when you drive an aggressively styled car. There is no intimidation or violence. It's just the word used to describe the styling choices.
Aston Martin, Porsche, Lambourghini, Ferrari, all aggressively styled cars.
