I’m always trying to assess when I meet the entrepreneur who founded the
company, I’m always trying to figure out one thing first and foremost:
Is that person a missionary or a mercenary? The mercenary is trying to
flip their stock, the missionaries love their product or their service
and love their customer.” - Jeff Bezos

This Is An Important Factor That Can/Will Affect Its Sales
Something You SHOULD KNOW About The All-new Toyota Supra That NO ONE Is Talking About
A friend of AutoSpies, Tim Stevens is in charge of CNET's Roadshow.
A real enthusiast, Tim is the kind of guy that takes his Subaru WRX ice racing. Clearly, he isn't playing around.
This past week I was leafing through my Facebook feed and I came across a picture he snapped at the prototype drive of the all-new Toyota Supra. And, there was a nugget he noted about the Supra no one has pointed out — at all.
If you take a peek of this side-by-side shot, you'll note that the Supra is actually about the same size as the Toyota 86. And the 86 is a small two-door vehicle by modern standards.
As Tim points out, the Supra isn't going to be a "big" car like its elder.

Instead Of Suing Them, They Shoulda Bought Them Out
Nintendo wins judgment against real-life Mario Kart operator in Japan
The video game maker is ultra protective of its intellectual property
Bad news, would-be Marios (or, like ex-F1 ace Jenson Button above, Princesses). Marika Co., the entity behind all those real-life Mario Kart sightings on the streets of Tokyo, has been ordered to stop renting to tourists and residents costumes that resemble the characters famously featured in Nintendo's franchise video games.
This judgment comes after Nintendo sued Marika in February of 2017 for violation of intellectual property. Tokyo District Court sided with Nintendo in a ruling that also requires Marika pay Nintendo 10 million yen in damages. That's about $88,000. As of the time this story was published, the website where the karts are booked remains active and populated with plenty of Nintendo-themed characters.
Best we can tell, Marika hasn't been shut down completely, and may still be able to rent go-karts on public streets in Japan. It just can't provide its patrons with outfits to make them look like Mario, Luigi, Princess, Peach, or any other bit of intellectual property owned by Nintendo.
