- 2020 Supra GR Premium
bought mine in Oct and daily drive it. since then a pretty wide range of love/hate:
Love:
Get thumbs up and honks in traffic regularly.
People walk up pretty regularly in parking lots and ask about and say it looks great.
Driving around see tons of head turns and hear people saying "Hey that's the new Supra..." as I pass by.
Had a group of high school kids literally stop in traffic and jump out of their 4-Runner cheering and hooting and hollering. Was pretty weird but positive I guess.
Neighbors/coworkers have had a lot of complimentary things to say about it and many asking for ride along.
Saw out the window of the gym last week, some teenage boy having his girlfriend pose for pictures in front of it.
Hate:
Second day I had it, had a guy in a huge-ass diesel truck try to race me up a freeway onramp and then tried to run me onto the shoulder. Had to slam on the brakes to avoid collision. Was still in breakin and frankly...don't give 2 sh*ts about racing some a-hole in his truck.
Two weeks in, had someone spit chew spit on the front quarter panel in commuter traffic on my way home from work.
Had some guy walking with his wife call out "Hey honey...look...its the new Z4" in a sarcastic tone.
Have 20-somethings (oddly...always driving mustangs, lol) constantly pulling up and revving or posturing in traffic.
Have had about half a dozen people say "You having a midlife crisis or something?" in a critical tone (I'm nearly 50 and have always drive pretty utilitarian vehicles). So I just say "Hell yeah". Worked my ass off for years and going to enjoy every minute.
I'm too old to really give a sh*t anymore. BMW makes great cars. This is a collaboration and likely wouldn't have been produced if that weren't the case...or would be too expensive otherwise. The car looks great and is a blast to drive. It has tons of potential for upgrades which makes it have a big "life after purchase" value for me.
