Oh ok well if you honk a lot then I can see wanting to change it out. I don’t honk so I’ll be ok.

Very surprised how much attention this car gets. I’m constantly getting people yelling from their cars and waving. When it’s parked people are taking pictures and gawking. Who knows how long it will last but kinda fun.

Yesterday at a cars and cigars meetup, the car got a lot of attention and when I was leaving a guy walked up and said he runs a tuning shop and was looking to sponsor a Supra. Told him I’m keeping it stock but would have been a cool hookup if I was planning to mod it.

I’m sure others have similar experiences - look forward to hearing about people reacting to your Supra.

Most of the time, I don't notice as I'm paying attention to driving. When I see someone with a car persons car, they always notice. However, when the kids are in the car, they notice everyone looking, so I guess its the same here. Every time I park up somewhere, I come back to find someone looking at the car and I'm happy to show it off every time.

It's not the looks for me though, its the drive. She cruises at 40mph it 8th and tries to stay at 1100 rpm as much as possible in urban traffic. Hit a country road and hit sports mode and its a 100% change from a comfort cruiser into a mean sports car. I'm falling more in love with the car every day.

I have had my car since July 22 and it still gets lots of attention . Gas stations ,restaurants are the main spots
for people to approach and take pictures. Then you get all the waves and thumbs up. Everybody tells me they haven't
seen one yet. I have 4k and live in a region of half a million people and I have been told by friends they saw a black one
and my blue but that's it. A guy in a Ferrari was taking pics of my supra lol.
Here in Canada with only 300 total this year and 500 more next its going to limited sightings of Supras for some time
to come.

I've noticed a lot of people checking the car out. I've had people shouting, stopping to ask me about it, follow me in to the petrol station to take pictures and even a girl waving, smiling and winking at me from the passenger seat of her boyfriends car while he tried to take a photo. I checked in to my hotel last night and the girl on reception said "You're the man with the posh yellow car. We all like that!"

Not really had any negative comments yet.

I've owned a variety of exotics, most recently a Huracan. Honestly, I was tired of the attention - literally any time I would stop to get gas I would get mobbed by kids. Driving wasn't fun either because of all of the jackasses wanting to race or rolling down their window to make dumb comments about dick size or how much it cost.

I can honestly say that the Supra gets NO WHERE near the attention that my other cars did. And for that, I'm very, very grateful.

Funny meeting a pizza guy on the street

Thought this was funny - Pizza guy tailed me into a parking lot. Is that a 2020 Supra? He was all excited - which is always nice for others to enjoy. I've let people sit in it if they wanted. I enjoy talking to other car enthusiasts.

I asked him if he wanted to see it - which he did - and then immediately starts saying - Wow - that is so cool. I have not seen one yet -

He said - "Thats really awesome - except:"

* It shouldn't have A BMW engine (I guess the other BMW parts are ok??)
* I wish it had a manual
* I should have had a bigger turbo
* It should have had 2 turbos
* I needs more horsepower
* I wish the interior was better
* Toyota should have developed an inline 6

I find it funny - so excited to see the car - but not enjoying any of it.

Pulling outta the showroom, not even 5 miles into my drive back home I have people thumbing up the car. I'm like to my wife "oh baby, we got 100 miles left of this" and she was laughing. I love the car though, I am so happy I can say I own a Supra at 23. :D

In the short time I had with the car prior to its long (and continuing) sabbatical at the dealership, many many fellow motorists yelled things at me.

The funniest was someone on the opposite side of a divided highway screamed “BMW” at me at the top of his lungs. Definitely got a laugh out of me.

LMAOOOO if they have to go that much out of their way to show their disdain for a car that isn't even fully a BMW, then that's sad LOL.

2020 Supra
Homeless man was all excited too see the new Supra when I was driving through Trenton. I rolled down my window because he was really trying to get my attention and he went "IS THAT THE NEW SUPRA??!" I responded with a "Yes, sir" then he proceeded to tell me how he used to have a MKIV back in the day and that he loved the new car.

Didn't even hit me up for money - skipped right to the car behind me. After we drove away, gf turned to me and asked if this is why I wanted the new Supra (all the reactions it's been getting) :rofl:
