I haven't driven one yet but I really like the styling and now that a manual is offered I'm very tempted to explore that route.

Ha, yeah, the Supra has an almost exotic front engine car look to it from many angles: Low, long front end, huge and pronounced rear fenders, swooping and narrowing greenhouse and roofline shape, duckbill spoiler, etc. The thing keeping it from looking truly exotic is that most front-engine exotics are slightly wider and lower with a slightly longer wheelbase. But the exotic shape characteristics are definitely there. That said, the more I look at it in my garage or out and about walking to/from the car, the more I like it.
My wife drives it more than me, but I drove it to work on Monday, and yeah, it's a ton of fun.
