That’s some synergy for you. And apparently thus far, sales aren’t through the roof.

One can point to the price tag of the new Supra and question whether it’s a “real” Toyota (when did that become more desirable than a genuine BMW??), the fact is all cars are poor sellers compared to SUVs. |

I work in the auto industry. In the past ten years there have been numerous recalls for electrical components, exploding airbags, fuel pump assemblies falling apart in the tank, windows falling out, and many more. Some vehicles had multiple recalls.

I've always preferred Toyota's luxury line to BMWs. |

The sports cars are nice to look at, but I don't fit in them very well. Except for the XKE of course! I tried on the Scion Subaru when it first came out and my wife had to pull me out.
