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

[nibble]

Here's my take on this.

I bought supra because it is BMW but I love supra because it is NOT BMW.

Here's why. I've been driving BMW sedan for quite some time. I like what it offers as "luxury" car. Supra does offer those amenities that I'd get from BMW. However, BMW is more like final car. Meaning, it feels like what BMW is saying is, "Our cars are masterpieces! There are nothing you should change! If you are going to change anything, we don't welcome you!" It's not exactly but it feels like that.

What Toyota did with this platform is what I love about. Basically, "We will give you a good platform. Do whatever you want to do. It's your car. We already provided you room for you to add your modification. Go at it if you like." And that goes with same philosophy /w previous generation of supra. For example, have you noticed the indent on top of Air filter box? It's there to add strut bar. If it wasn't there, a lot of fabrication had to be made, in my opinion. I heard there are many design of panels to do something like that. Also, I saw many youtubers complaining about fake vents. So what! If I want to or need to, I just have to cut it open. If it's not there, it will be hard to cut it open. If it was there unnecessarily open, it will mess up engine bay or interior or where ever dirt can get in. If they say, it sounds just like Z4, their ear is not trained enough notice the difference. They probably think freight train sound is corvette V8.

I like what Toyota did to MKV. maintaining heritage on a reliable platform as well as giving room to make this my supra. In your case, your Supra.

But maybe the next Supra is already being developed in-house as a hybrid

It looks like even Toyota might be getting tried of the BMW comments

So I have only had this car a few days and am already sick of the BMW comments.

What the hell, do people think they are funny or something? My reply is typically yeah well its the same car as the z4 and it cost 20k less so for the value its a better car. If anything people should be asking the BMW owners why didn't they get the Toyota.

One guy irritated me so bad I just was oh hey I see you are driving a 2002 ford focus hows that thing handle? He didnt want to talk any more.

Dude, I feel ya. It gets old. Refer to one of my old posts about a guy on a skateboard shouting "BMW!" at me. I'm like "SKATEBOARD!" He stfu after that.

From my other post-"I've driven around town and had 2 people shout "BMW!" as I passed. Um ok. More funny, it was from someone on a SKATEBOARD and someone in a 350 Z with the front bumper hanging rofl."

It's never gonna go away, there's even trolls on these forums who don't own the car and love to shit post here and there, gotta get used to it. Also avoid the Supra subreddit, the main mod there called the MKV a joke and BMW

Instead of getting worked up why not just go with the flow?

 

[SuupYota]

Just idiots. They're either ignorant or jealous. "Your car has a BMW engine and interior"

How is that a bad thing exactly??

Exactly, 100%

Tell the lambo owners your basically driving a VW and watch their reaction.
?
or this pic sums it up.

It's funny, when I had my 1g dodge avenger no one said "nice mitsu", The haters will always hate, but you look at anything dsm did, and later Mitsubishi taking over when dsm perished did talon owners get "nice eclipse" or Stealth owners get "nice gt3000", seabring/stratus owners as well? It's funny there's a thread a long time ago on the other supra forum I remember seeing about a MK3 owner someone coming up to them and thought it was a ford probe.

Being a huge BMW fan to begin with, it never really bothered me.

When people say it’s a BMW, I tend to actually agree with them lmao. Even if people yell “is that a Supra?!” I usually give them a thumbs up and yell back “it’s a BMW.” Lmao.

 

[Suggs.OR]

It bothered me at first but then I realized it was all the people with shit boxes slammed on the ground and sounds like a trumpet when they accelerate, so I stopped listening to those comments and just laugh at it every time.

It’s funny bc none of the people that talk shit can afford the new a90. It’s almost like they are haters and jumping on the wagon when they got no clue what they are saying.

I had one guy said he was going to get the Yellow LE bc only 500 were made but he didn’t want to get it because it wasn’t a manual. Lol I didn’t know Yellow came in LE?

Took my car to a car meet and all the comments I got were all positive, even a police officer approached me and we had a real good conversation about the car.

There’s always people who will be hating. Look at the muscle car community, don’t even get started with a Mustang Vs Camaro argument lol

I think some y'all just need to let it go. Not everyone is going to like your car and will come at you with stupid comments, but that's ok as long as you like it. That's what really matters. You brought it for yourself, and not for the world.

I had similar experiences when I 1st got my MK4. Some of the hate below:

Chevy Cobalt driver - Nice wannabe supercar.

Ford 500 driver - LOL, nice Toyota.

Lexus community - Should have gotten a SC instead. It's the grown up version and not a 12 year old racer boy car.

Like some have said in this thread, just reply with a "Thank you" and walk away. Don't give them the satisfaction of trying to irritate you.
