There is nothing in that list that looks as good

C&D discredit themselves immediately rating the Supra and Z4 higher. I’d respect the GR86 or Miata, but not those two.

I just love that one of their major gripes is "hot luggage".

This is when you are really searching for anything to complain about.

Can you imagine hanging around Aston Martin Valkyrie owners? ENDLESS luggage complaints...

GR86/BRZ and Miata are in another class of "affordable sports cars". I have a MT Supra and ordered an Emira. I would say for most people Supra would probably be a better choice than Emira.

Supra would be an easier car to live with, but drives and feels very differently than Emira, IMO. I had one. Really liked it for what it is.

Supra is way harder to get in and out of than the Emira though

But how hot is the luggage? Truly the top way to rate these cars.

Could you elaborate? Which did you prefer from a pure driving perspective? I was debating between a MT Supra and V6 Emira.

I agree that the Vette is ugly particularly in the rear quarter and rear, but I find the Supra to be Fugly all around.

Corvette #1. ???? It has to be one of the ugliest cars made today, esp the camaro rear end. As soon as I saw that, everything else they said lacked credibility. No Manual option...no thanks!

I read the C&D review that created this 8/10 rating when it was first published, which is to say a long time ago, hence the $77k base price they're claiming. This was a EU spec "coming soon" vehicle, and my belief is that they don't often give the highest praise to things that aren't fully production ready for the NA market.

As an avid C&D reader for two+ decades, I wouldn't be surprised if the 2025 version - while unchanged - is rated higher because they can do a more thorough test.

Or, maybe not, and they just got this one wrong (IMO), which happens from time to time.
