Gazoo Racing the new ///M

[BMWAF]

But I 100% love the ///MKV badge so I guess I’m dumb, too.

That's taking the piss, so I don't think it counts in the same way!

With all of the cross-branding these days, it's tough to tell when someone is joking... There's a GR Amazon Dot??

Yeah lol, technically it's A90 branded. It was one of the gifts I got while the supra was on order.

I also got a coffee table book and small print after the car arrived.

I feel like GR in the States isn’t established well enough to already start diluting the brand. Like, make it mean something first if you plan on making GR stickers a selling point.

Well, I don't think the Yaris Cross is coming to the US, nor are any other GR Sport vehicles (for now) so that's just fine. It'll just be the GR86, GR Supra, and GR Corolla.

Amazingly, I think Toyota realizes that Americans aren't at all familiar with Gazoo Racing, so they're going slowly to build familiarity before they bomb us with badges. GR is old hat in Europe and Australia.

That's really cool, I wish we got the swag box as well.

As an aside, love the Klipsch monitors on your desk. That's a beefy sound setup for a PC!

Yaris Cross?

Can they water down the GR Sport brand any more?

It just makes me keener to strip the car of all GR branding and apply those shiny new ///MKV badges!

I'm not mad...

GR = BMW M (fastest and most powerful trim available)
GR Sport = BMW M Sport (the lowest rung in the BMW M ladder)

Eh whatever.

I am just glad Toyota isn't going the Ford route and making the all new Supra SUV.

This is like a 6 year old saying he is 6 years and 11 months old.. screw the newb 6-ers cause he so much more bester.

I just don't know why Toyota got rid of TRD. I think the name Gazoo is pretty ridiculous but what can you do?

 

[Supraboi7]

No no no no no not like this

If you pronounce it Ga zoo like the green alien, then yeah it's stupid.
But it's supposed to be pronounced Gazoh as in 画像 or image in Nihongo.. so sounds just as dumb in America.

I mean image racing sounds like you're image training before a race or recital.. ? who the hell came up with the name.

Damn. So this is what my red Supra would look like if I fed her Big Macs and McFlurries instead of petrol.

That's why you have to give them E85 - lower caloric content than petrol!

I'd absolutely buy the red one. I hope they make the vents functional on the GR SUV.

Very functional, they cool the inside of the back doors!
