Eh, I dunno if I believe that. I was reading a history of the Supra line
a while ago (somewhere online, that I've since forgotten). The supra
started life as a celica with a bit more zip. Always had 4 seats (AFAIK),
etc. etc.
The RX-7 I dunno the history of very well, but I think every model of the
Rx-7 was primarily a 2-seater, small, sports car type of deal.
Comparing the last models, there is no comparison (IMHO). The RX-7 is a 2
seat all out sports car and the supra is a fairly heavy, _very_ sporty
sedan with a good motor.
