Get a 718 and be done with it.
Heading north of $80k with another car purchase and 8 years of college knocking on the door makes me nervous.

Of course, my son is heavily invested in this because he thinks he is getting this car when he turns 16. He'd lose his mind if I came home with a Porsche.

I've been shopping for a 718 and I'm pretty sure you could buy it for $80k today and sell it for $70-$75k in a few years. They have to be one of the slowest depreciating cars available.

I just got a 2024 BMW X4 M40i, it has the b58tu engine and I love the damn thing. Paired with the transmission it is so much fun to drive I couldn't imagine how fun a Supra would be to drive. Once out of warranty the path to modify the engine is also easy and relatively cheap.

Lexus will be good but I'd bet sluggish compared to Supra. Go drive both. Give a bmw sedan with a b58 a try if your options are open. Some of the newer bmws are coming with the b58tu2 engine and the jury is still out on those. B58 and b58tu are good to go.

New car shopping is fun, enjoy it!

Thanks to SouthsideAg and SteveA -- I ended up test driving the IS500 Fsport and the BMW M440i X Drive. Both were fun. The IS500 defintely had more room in the back seat, but that wasn't my goal. Ended up pulling the trigger last Friday on the M440i. Definitely a lot of fun!

The weather was terrible when I picked it up and just got around to taking more pics.
