This is a very biased report. I wonder whether you are president of the Mark IV fan club. Either way you make some very inconsistent comments and if you are comparing cars at very different price points it might be useful to spell out the difference.
Does it bother anyone else that some dealer just fouled a perfectly good 2021 Supra some one could have bought (me?) by letting this wannabe film his āreviewā to add to the dogpile?
Imagine when the GRMN comes out?I used to watch most of his videos. But now I realize he's gotten too spoiled with driving truly incredible cars. Like okay, let me buy a 100k Cayman GT4 so I can get a "comparable" new 6 cylinder sports car. And his part about the "identity crisis" told me that he doesn't understand that its SUPPOSED to be daily capable car. If it was "focused" and all the other adjectives, it would probably drive like crap on the road. Dude needs to take a step back and reassess a little.
Honestly, I still think he would hate it. He seems to object to the partnership in general. So no matter how great it is he'll say "its still a BMW".Imagine when the GRMN comes out?
Farah: I was kidding!
I understand where you say he's gotten too spoiled with the incredible cars he gets to drive. I can definitely see that being an issue and sets the bar for everything at an extreme height. Other than people being irritated about the bmw/toyota partnership on this car and the subjective looks. I believe that 99% of people that drive this car love it. I feel like with the times we live in and all these reviewers and articles people form an opinion about a vehicle before even before driving it for themselves and only go off what others say. Vehicle specs only tell you one story about a car.I used to watch most of his videos. But now I realize he's gotten too spoiled with driving truly incredible cars.

That's so true. Driving enjoyment isn't a spec that can be compared on a chart, so that dynamic is usually lost on people. With the future of cars being electric and mostly SUVs, I don't understand the flogging of any new sports car, especially from "car people."I understand where you say he's gotten too spoiled with the incredible cars he gets to drive.

Yep exactly. I'm no pro driver by any means but I have spent time on the road course, autocross and 1/4 mile racing through the years. I also raced dirt bikes, atvs and side by sides competitively. I know how to drive fast and the fact is, I know I wouldn't be able to push most of these cars to their limit on the street nor should I. It's just so easy to get caught up in specs when it doesn't really matter.That's so true. Driving enjoyment isn't a spec that can be compared on a chart, so that dynamic is usually lost on people.

Point taken, but he also mentioned he was not allowed to officially drive it on the road, he was only driving it from the back to the front of the dealership. Hardly fouled, it needed to be moved from the drop off point in the back anyway. How big do you think that dealership is? Lol.Does it bother anyone else that some dealer just fouled a perfectly good 2021 Supra some one could have bought (me?) by letting this wannabe film his āreviewā to add to the dogpile?
EDIT
I just got (almost) to the end and heard him say that the car heās driving is pre purchased by a customer. Iād be livid.
Absolutely not okay. The dealer āhas to drive itā to put gas in the car. Other than that I have every right and expectation that it has been kept free of idiots. What are the chances thereās damage? Iāve literally never gotten a car back from service without scuffs on my steering wheel. You think heās careful enough?Point taken, but he also mentioned he was not allowed to officially drive it on the road, he was only driving it from the back to the front of the dealership.

My thoughts are that his dad probably owns the dealership or something. Sure, what we see in the video is entirely benign but shame on us for assuming weāve been shown everything.I would definitely be unhappy if they didnāt ask first and would be asking questions if I found out after the fact. But Iād hardly lose my composure over this particular incident after witnessing exactly how this āidiot wannabe reviewer fouls a perfectly good Supra.ā
Would you feel any better if he worked there?
Agree there are horrible stories of moronic dealership employees joy riding and tearing shit up, but thatās not what happened here.
