I forgot to mention that my 2nd and 3rd vehicles were also Celicas. I have been waiting a long time to get back into a Toyota, and hopefully the upcoming Supra doesn't disappoint.My first car was an 88 Celica. My parents have owned mostly Toyotas and they now own 2 Lexuses. I come from a Toyota family and have always dreamed of one day owning a Supra. That day will eventually come.
Upon learning that this sports car segment is shrinking and that it’s not that profitable to develop alone as compared to, say, SUVs, I realized that it’s better to have something rather than nothing. The Supra wouldn’t have its fifth iteration without the help from BMW(since they are one of the very few still producing inline-6 engines). It took a while before I liked this car. I was like...”This is a hybrid. It’s not a true Japanese sports car nor a true bred Supra. It’s a BMW.” Since then, it became more and more special to me especially when I tried to mix and match Toyota and BMW. It would then become the best car of both worlds. You get to have an ultimate driving machine while also being reliable as well. What more can you ask for?
It is really a car for the driver. You enjoy driving it. It can put tons and tons of smiles on your face. No matter you’re driving it on the road, track, uphill, downhill, or in a straight line, the Supra has the abilities to conquer it all. The Supra has already gained legendary status, so it’s special to own one. Although Toyota is known for making reliable cars, they had been known for making boring cars for quite some time until the “86” was launched, back in 2012. Toyota is bringing back the sportiness into their cars. They are doing this for the enthusiasts; not solely because of money. They have been very aggressive lately to be back into the game, where they already used to have the know-how on how to be successful. Toyota is no stranger when it comes to making sports cars. They have a rich heritage in the field of motorsports. It’s about time Toyota wants to bring back the passion and emotion into their cars. They’re just getting started. The Supra had been off the market for almost 20 years now. Nobody could have ever imagined that it would someday, somehow come back to the market with a new generation. The vast majority thought the MkIV would be the last Supra to be produced. We have to be thankful to Akio Toyoda for making this(bringing back sports cars into the lineup) happen. He listens to what the enthusiasts want. He’s going back to basics and implementing the formulas of his grand ancestors that made Toyota a great car to own and drive. Toyota makes dreams come true. With the reintroduction of the Supra MkV, they’re seriously back into the game. I have been a huge fan of the Supra since I was a kid. Watching the Supra on the big screen, playing it on video games, collecting scale models, and more. The Supra is one of my favorite cars of all time. Now that it’s being launched real soon, I’m looking forward to getting one someday.
