A hardtop Z4... (jk) parked next to me today at school. We didn't talk too much because I had to pee lol, but he seems cool. And before people start pointing out the shitty condition that my car is in, it's a daily with over 322k.

I have always loved the mark IV's design. That being said, it looks seriously outdated park next to a mark 5. But, That's to be expected. I love my mark 5, but I would take a clean Mark IV over it, any day. For me, it's just one of the cars that I've always loved.
For what I use the car for, the older one is nowhere near as good. But that's okay with me.

I figured as much, was just trying to add some humor haha.

For those that missed it, there's a jk = just joking in an off white.

I must commend this forum on the overall civility in which it treats the MkIV. This group has a much higher caliber of posters relative to some of the top posters on supraforums, imho. Supraforums is like a mirage for new MkV enthusiasts who genuinely think they have found a supportive forum for the MkV.

A lot of us were interested in the V because of the IV. Since the V is cheaper and better then a IV my decision was easy. But if I had a choice...I woulda thought long and hard before closing a V. It would be close! I L O V E the Mark IV.

3 years in owning my A90, and I still love driving it, even back to back with the A80.

I must say though, it's a completely different car with VSC/Traction OFF (Not sport - off)

Feels a lot more Supra then.

Keen to drive the 6MT A90 back to back with 6MT A80

Saw this nice big fat ass when I was visiting FL for the holidays

Same argument can be made for the 2000GT and the MKIV as with the MKIV and MKV….but the “classic” still demand top dollar. It’s no arguing the MKV is the “better” car, but there is still alot to admire about the old whips. Question is, will the MKV do as good as the MKIV in terms of collectability when the MKVI comes out?

Only if there is as long of a gap between the five and the six. Part of what made the Mark 4 so desirable was that it was the last of its kind. So they thought.
I think That's why most of the a80 owners hate so much on the new car. They don't like the idea that something new or better came out and that it could be more desirable, thus possibly lowering the value of their car, I suppose...?
If so, that would be silly. The Mark four cannot be replaced.

I agree, all Supra generations have their own unique character and feel. I think if the numbers stay low-er for the MKV, it should fetch good money in the future.
