I don't see anyone making the argument that the Mclaren F1 isn't a real Mclaren because BMW built the engine.
IMO BMW is the best thing that happened to Toyota. If they built the car it would look like something a sorority girl would drive and make like 200 hp

I agree. When it comes to the actual product the biggest gripe (besides subjective "look") is it's not a full Toyota product, not that the engine, trans, suspension or anything else isn't to the level it needs to be.
Left alone to Toyota, 30 years later we still wouldn't have had a Supra and no, we wouldn't be better off without it. Then, if Toyota for some reason decided to go it alone it it would have been a V-6, no chance as good of an engine, pretty sure not the ZF trans, highly unlikely it would have ever gotten a manual as they wouldn't have had something easily added to their engine.
