Toyota 86 vs. Supra 2.0 Review: What Are You Doing, Turbo Step Bro?

Today, the FR-S is eight years old and no longer called a Scion. According to our information, a new generation should be arriving during the first quarter of 2021. That leaves us with just enough time to compare it to the Supra 2.0, which is new for the current model year.

Why? Well, it's pretty unusual for an automaker to have not one but two sports cars like this. Both of these particular models also feature 2-liter engines, although they are different ones. The 86 was developed with Subaru and has a boxer engine while, the Supra sports one of BMW's turbocharged inline units for the same reason. Thus, 50 horsepower and a fair chunk of torque separate them.

In terms of price, the gap is sizable. The 86 isn't as cheap as it used to be, but you can still have one from about $28,000. Meanwhile, the 2.0 version of the Supra starts from $44,000 (including delivery).

Today, EverydayDriver tried to answer a very important question: "Does the Supra 2.0 make the Toyota 86 irrelevant?" Styling is objective, but there's no denying you get more of it in the Supra, which is full of creases and vents that make it look futuristic. It's quite an attention-grabber, which is more than you can say about its little brother.

The reviewers also point out how different the proportions are. The Supra is a longer car with a shorter wheelbase and wider track. And on the inside, the Supra makes you feel like you're in a bunker, surrounded by BMW buttons. Basically, the 86 is exactly like a classic sports car while its turbo stepbrother is a showoff.
