Toyota Supra
After nearly a two decade absence, the Supra returns as a focused
sports car that relies on a BMW platform. The extroverted two-seater
is powered by a BMW turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder
engine. That smooth, punch is routed through an eight-speed auto-
matic transmission to the rear-wheels. The driver can override gear
choices using paddle shifters or the gear selector. Sport mode sharp-
ens responses and amplifies the exhaust sound. Handling is super
responsive and agile and the car can be playful on a track without
intimidating the driver. The ride is relatively civilized. Getting in and
out is a bit of a chore and there is a modest amount of cargo space
under the rear hatch. The Supra uses BMW’s iDrive infotainment sys-
tem. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with
pedestrian detection, and lane departure warning is standard.Overall Score NA

Toyota Sienna
As minivans go, the Sienna is a sensible choice, but it isn’t very
engaging to drive. The Sienna rides comfortably and is quiet
inside, but handling is lackluster. It has a lively 3.5-liter V6, but the
new eight-speed automatic doesn’t shift as smoothly as the previous
six-speed one did. However, the transmission helped improve fuel
economy from 20 to 21 mpg. The all-wheel-drive version sacrifices 1
mpg. An eighth seat cleverly stores in the back when it isn’t installed
in place. The availability of all-wheel drive is the Sienna’s biggest
advantage over any other minivan. Forward collision warning, auto-
matic emergency braking, lane departure warning with lane keeping
assist, and adaptive cruise control are standard.
