It's been a good run 6 years with the MKV Supra....

I completely understand the attracting teenager's attention

The Supra MKV does not break any necks, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, lol. I've been in mine for 6 years and it doesn't attract anything but teenagers

Spot on. I think it’s mostly a SoCal thing though... when you’re surrounded by Porsches, Lambos, and Ferraris, a Toyota just doesn't stand out. It’s probably a total head turner in Nebraska, but out here it’s just another car.

but thinks his Supra MKV can do this because it's a hothatch, lol.

Ah.. Now it's al starting to make sense. I was suggesting that a hot hatch - which a Supra is not - may be a better fit for you than the M2 due to their performance/utility tradeoffs.

Anyway, I'm done.

I know this is going to come as a total shock to some of you, but there's an entire world outside of California. In fact - and I hope you are sitting down for this part - but believe it or not, there's even countries outside of the United States!

This thread pretty much went the way I thought it would. Always the same pattern.

Hey, $SOMECAR forum members! Is this the thread where we point out that $OTHERCAR is better and act surprised when people respond negatively?

he was surprised that such a shithole like New Hampshire exists. Not everyone has a Ferrari or a lambo here. Crazy!

I think it's awesome your looking to change your ride and you have very valid points. I too, actually was looking at an M2, M240i, Supra or Hellcat. The M240i is the most practical of all the cars....in every point, except emotion and fun... (Wasn't looking for a practical car though in my search) Ultimately, If I was in your predicament, you really just need a nice daily driver. The Supra is no doubt the best looking and handling for the money, but the least practical. The M2 is kinda like a grown ups Supra and I almost went that way too but ultimately came down to price and I wanted a sports car to keep for a long time. My circumstances are different then yours though. I have 2 daily drivers. One being a Audi Diesel fuel sipping machine and a BMW X3 M40i family SUV. Those cars are the do everything cars for me except the fun....so ultimately I picked the Supra as a fifth car purely for the emotions and fun. I already have a muscle car in the garage, so the Hellcat would just be another modern one. If money was no object, I'd own them all. It really just comes down to what "you" need right now at this point in your life. You also have a sports car, so you really don't need another sports car but a better daily. So I understand the reason for giving up a sports car for something else.... maybe you should consider a M3 or M4 though...they do a lot better at the daily drive with everything else you "need" and you still will have the "fun sports car" at home waiting for the ignition to be turned.
P.S. I almost forgot, those other M cars do have cup holders!

New Hampshire is not a shithole in fact it's a incredible place. I wish to visit someday. The roads looks incredible, when you mentioned snow I assumed it would have pot holes but rather then being an ingnorant bastard I reserach before being that asshole. My research turned up:

And I was shocked, now I want to visit new hampshire to have roads like that in the East Coast has a person like me (Orignlally from Ohio) jealous. In fact everyone on the East Coast who has a sports car should be jealous of the indviduals like you who live there. Those roads looks majestic to drive on.

Morral of the story don't be ignorant, don't be an asshole, do your own research as it may surprise you. Sure as hell surprised me and count me in as an individual who hopes to one day pass through New Hampshire in a Supra, M2 CS, or a Porsche in the near future, Truely...

Even the M2 CS is hated among M2 CS purists, it's too big it deosn't have manual, it's not neraly as throwable. Within it's own Lineage (Like the Supra MKV) this M2 CS has it's own controversies. But like the SUpra MKV beyond those contraveries remains a very good car just like the Supra MKV. I don't know why people in this forum assume I hate the Supra MKV because I'm moving to a M2 CS, I drove it for 6 years that's probably more then alot of you in here because mine was a launch edition and I put on 10,000 miles each year.

Because I'm upgrading I'm a hater? Anyone whose actually logical knows a M2 CS is an upgrade to a MKV Supra. Maybe not a Value Upgrade but it's regardless an upgrade feel free to explain how it's a downgrade.

"contraveries"?

sorry just too early in So Cal for me i think it was like 6 AM- 7AM

I thought this thread was dead, but here we are on page 5.

I can't reconcile your Supra complaints with spending 100k on a car personally. By all means man, congrats on what may be one of the world's most expensive luggage solutions.

I am probably the outlier here, but if my significant other had an issue with the space, that is very much a them problem and not a me problem.

Space wise, I think the MKV interior space is pretty decent, minus the small opening for ingress of putting things in the trunk.

I suppose I'm lucky my gf is a fan of two seat coupes and doesn't pack heavily. Always blew my mind when people let their significant others dictate their car decisions, though.

 

[darkloki]

I don’t really view it that way because I firmly believe if the final edition Supra ('26 Supra) has a s58 as rumored years ago the cost of that would have easily been 90k maybe 80k… add carbon ceramic you’re at 100-90 easily… and under a 100k for a 550 hp car is a good deal as compared to other 550 hp cars out there that are track focused such as a GT3 RS. And then if you want to introduce turning the tuning capabilities of an s58 are downright superior as compared to the b58 due to the forged materials that the b58 doesn’t have. It’s an M car they’re on another level when compared to the b58.
