Smellywelshman Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Just been trawling a few interweb sites and looking at the mark 1 thru 3's. So what was it (other than the 90's) that made Mr T think "F**K this thing looks like a Delorian on speed, I must change it!" I mean, its one hell of a jump from the mk3 to the mk4 looks-wise. Im totally ignorant regarding the engine changes mind you. What does everyone else think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I think the guy who designed the mk4, is a total genius lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I still like the mk3. Saw a black one on 5th gear and thought it was a very nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I can't think of many cars that have the looks of the Supra for the price. An relatively cheap, head turning, iconic car if ever there was one. H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An relatively cheap, head turning, iconic car if ever there was one. H. Very true, and you left out reliable *frantically searches for a piece of wood to touch* There aren't many that provide so much power without asking for 3000mile services. Its just that IMO the mks 1-3 were very similar (and fugly) then all of a sudden TRAAAAALAAAAA the mkiv appears and is stunning. The designer must have been welsh, s'all I can say:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The designer must have been welsh, s'all I can say:D Just stunning, i have heard though toyota designed the mkiv then very cleverly at the last minute waited for the last gen 300zx to be revealed then had to go back to the drawing board to design something that would trounce the zed in the design stakes. Also how many cars today are still using a simmilar shape, DB9,Jag xk thingy, 550 maranello, dare i say it hyun coupe to name but a few.
