Do you guys ever get tired of others bashing your A90 Supra? / Tired of the BMW comments?

[Axix23]

Your right. It’s on fb posts and etc.
or car buddies that can’t afford one.

I hate that Toyota sold out the Supra name without shame. However, I agree, BMW probably did a better job making the Supra than Toyota could've done by themselves. And why do people complain about the BMW interior? Have these people sat in any current Toyota product (not including Lexus products)? To have a discounted BMW M2 Comp killer is a win for all of us.

I don't see how it can be considered a sell out, it's a limited production car
A better example is the Electric Mustang

Had a nice old Granny walk past before, wanted to know what it was, "Very nice but wouldn't be much use off road" she said with a smile

She still has some petrol pumping through her veins

Yep, almost as annoying as people who always bring up the C8 when they see a Supra (or sometimes, any sports car for that matter). Almost.

Maybe this is a stretch here, but i would say if you were old enough and were financially able to buy a mkiv supra new in the 90’s and you didn’t then you have no right to complain about the bmw thing now. The joint venture was only necessitated by its predecessors weak sales and were lucky it was brought back at all. Everyone wants to complain about it but nobody wants to put their money where their mouth is lol

a lot of people running their mouths, they drive shit boxes. Compliments to me always come from people with more expensive cars like Porsche, Audi, bmw, and etc.

The bringing up of the C8 when talking about a supra is annoying too. They are not in the same class of car or even close to the same price. Even if someone bought a complete base c8 (which I imagine is hard to find) you are still talking about a car that is $10k more than the supra and with just a couple options puts it in the $70-80k real fast. I do like the c8 and if I was looking to spend that type of money on a car I would at least go look at them closer but they just aren't lol

Love my Supra and so glad I'm not bothered nor pay much attention to what others say and think...

So much this. I don’t think people get that base model will pretty much be non existent. I forgot the name of the first level performance package (Z51 maybe?) has to be equipped to hit that advertised 0-60 and then it’s definitely above 65k

On a related note it has been shown that a MkV with only a DP & Tune has better performance than a stock C8

Speaking of, check this out
"I think the A45 is faster than the Supra"
You can really sense the clout he has from his comments alone

^ This, exactly. ^

It does annoy me, but I have found it is 100% internet trolls that do it, and the response I get in person is very, very different. I also kind of made it a joke and embraced the hate with a "Powered by M" plate frame and a custom "ZFAUX" license plate. I have found that usually shuts it down pretty quick if it comes up.

This is gonna get a little heavy....it's like if you were infertile and you gave your wife to your friend to make a baby for you. Is there no shame in that? If you cannot do it on your own, maybe it is better to be without. Especially from an Asian company/culture where pedigree is so important, "adoption" just does the Supra nameplate no justice. Perhaps the Supra nameplate is not so sacred or Toyota just doesn't give a shit about the Supra name anymore. Maybe it was desperation.

I wonder how much more or less successful this car would be if the name wasn't Supra.

So what about adoption? People can adopt children that have different genes than them, but raise the child as their own. They can instill their values, morals and education (drawing the comparison to the tuning and characteristics of a car). Can they not consider their adopted child their own?
