I agree, and as a person trying to replace my M235i I don't see this new Nissan as a definitive step forward, because in many areas it is inferior to my BMW, for example: it lacks fully electric seats with memory, has no adaptive suspension, no dual zone AC, etc. Supra 3.0 has all those missing items which makes it a more attractive and well-rounded potential replacement, without feeling that I take one step forward and two steps back. Too bad about Supra's tumorous fast & furious styling.
