TOYOTA’S luscious Supra just made itself more available. The new alternative is £7,000 cheaper than the original. The surprise is you might find this cheaper one is more fun to drive. There’s gotta be a catch. There is. The Supra 2.0 has a four-cylinder engine in place of the exotic-sounding 3.0 six-cylinder the pricier one uses.
