I don't understand the hate either, I like the new Supra and what Toyota meant for it. It may be a huge departure from the old Supra in terms of positioning but it doesn't make it any less a great sports car. The entire BMW/Toyota partnership is mistaken, this isn't a re-badged Z4.
People moan about sharing platform but remember as good as the A80 was, it was sharing a platform with the Soarer due to corporate economics at the time. This time around it shared with a Z4 which BMW would have never brought back had it not for the partnership which means this platform is solely dedicated as a sporting platform from the ground up with equal input from both sides from the beginning.
This is no FRS/BRZ or Miata/124 Spyder.
