Auto manufacturers will tell you that you can still get coupes, just buy some hunk of shit like the AMG GLE Coupe. Because a four door lifted CUV thing is apparently a coupe, because marketing calls it a coupe.

She said "ok then, sedan it is" and went on to explain that because they don't have enough coupés registered so it's easier just to call it a sedan. Sign of times

The M2CS is The best Sports Coupe this year it is not a sports car. My categories are, Sports Cars, Sport Coupes, Grand Touring Coupes. Muscle Car Coupes, Coupes, Mini Coupes.. Some might pick a Shelby GT500 as the best Sports Coupe, but i think it's a damn good tweaked muscle car.

Some folks were comparing the Supra MK4 with the E36 M3, I can tell you the E36 drove a lot better than the Supra due to having 300-400lbs less weight. At the track, you almost never saw a Supra but it was chock-full of M3’s, always has been. You can argue build quality, potential for tuning and so on but IMO it wasn't more fun to drive.
With the MK5 Supra, what I hear is that it is snappy at the limit, meaning not smooth or predictable. At various events at the track in 2020, 2 out of the 3 Supra’s present have bitten the wall, as in totalled. I know that it could be conjecture, driver and whatnot but it is telling that basically the most cars I’ve seen crashed this year on track have been Corvette Z06 and Supra. If this is true, it would not necessarily be apparent in a test drive, or even driving on the street. I personally love the MK5 looks, stance, interior feel and so on. But I’m not sure that it can take 450BHP (and the torque!) out of an S55 or S58 without some substantial chassis modifications. Of course a 6sp S55/8 Supra would be a very intriguing car (and likely more expensive, the S engines are significantly more expensive than their N counterparts).

I agree that the video was very good. My only complaint is that most of the on-track video of the M2 CS was with it drifting through turns. For me, a few of those shots would be entertaining, but I actually got bored ONLY seeing those clips of the M2 CS. Conversely, most of the MK4 video clips focused in it’s amazing acceleration, because it has 1000 hp.
There is a ‘companion’ video on Haggerty YouTube channel where they compare that same MK5 Supra with the Z4. That’s also a good video. If Toyota produces a MT version of the Supra, it will have a good initial market, until the MT aficionados get their car, then the rest will collect dust at dealer lots. |

The other comparison magazines would do was with other GTs such as the 8 series rather than an e36 M3 as they were in a different class as far as handling went. Stock vs stock, the M2CS would crush the Mk4's lap times, and keeping up with the M2 in a heavily modified Mk4 is hardly an accurate representation of what the cars are really like. |

Hah, very interesting reading, thank you for the links!
I wonder if the Z4 shares the same issues...
