Default Top Gear / Fith Gear - Supra Review

Hey i was trailing through all the old footage and was wondering, there must have been a show that reviewed this car, either its old square shape or its newer frog shape?

Turbo or na, or even the twin turbo (knowing clarkson, thats the one he would want to review).

Anyway does anyone have an episode date?

Well I remember JC said something about the Supra in an old NSX review. He said something like the Supra is indeed a super car but far from a supercar. It goes like a supercar and almost looks like a supercar from far away but it is not different enough to be a supercar. That was just paraphrasing what he said since I can't remember exactly what he said.

I've never heard Jeremy or Tiff talk about the Supra. Adrian drove a MKIII Supra in one of the 5th Gears, and then they blew it up.
