New Toyota Supra......I don't get it.

When new cars come out, the first place one sees them is on the internet. And cars can look ungainly in photos, but when you are physically in the cars space, it makes sense. As you walk around the car, the styling makes more sense then what a photo can provide. (the Cayman comes to mind).

I spent a lot of time walking around a couple of the new Supras that showed up at cars and coffee today. I am mystified. W. T. F. is the back end of this car supposed to be? Why does the line above the windows not follow the curve of the roof line? If its supposed to be related to some to other line in the design, ok, but what line is that?

The rear haunches of this cars, are simply bizarre. Its look like it has a full diaper hanging off its ass. There is a edge line that runs from the front wheel well, back to the door handle...then abruptly ends as it runs into the seemingly arbitrary free hand curve that makes up the rear fenders.

Also, a BMW drivetrain under the body? Are BMWs as reliable as Toyota's these days?

IMHO, this is incredibly unattractive car. Please explain what I am missing.
