I'm not saying that the m119 is a better engine than the Supra's, but the spirit of the 500e is that it is a V8 powered sport sedan.....if I wanted a Supra I would buy a Supra which is an all-out sports car. The only sort of swap that I can get into w/ a 500e is a larger engine.....maybe a V12 a la Brabus for example. Its like putting a JDM motor into a Ford Mustang......but then again, I don't think that I will ever understand Japanese culture (especially its automotive culture)
