I would buy it if all the fake vents were removed - see below - they offered a manual gearbox and the price was 25% lower.
More than enough power for 90% of drivers plus Toyota reliability and quality.

It's actually a BMW reliability and quality (if any) since it's a Z4 mockup.
Cheers.

Marc, I was under the impression that whilst there was some early joint development, the Toyota would be made in Japan and the BMW in Europe. The articles I read note that the Supra uses a BMW engine, ZF 8 speed transmission and the BMW iDrive system with both manufacturers collaborating on the other elements. If I bought one, it would be for the Toyota quality and reliability. Toyota has a terrific reputation here, BMW not so much.

I am completely disappoint in the new Supra. Look at the reviews and see the BMW logo on the engine and other parts. I was hopeful that the new Supra would be the Lexus LC500 modified for Toyota. Very similar to the Lexus LX 560 and the Toyota Land Cruiser. But I guess not.
