MK7's are great cars. I loved my GTI and we still have a MK7.5 alltrack.

The MK8's are basically SUV's and I'm not a fan overall.
honestly I could see myself replacing the GTI with an alltrack for more practicality. 7.5 is peak, wish they still made them at all. IS38 alltrack is a proper sleeper too

Maybe it's because I've seen one in FD, but I like the looks of the GR Corolla. I'd have to do some shit to it, but I would be doing that to any car I get.

Now that you mention it, I remember feeling the same way when I saw one on display in the show room at my local Toyota. It's one of those cars that, to me, is hideous in photos but pretty nice in person.

There is a certain angle of the Supra that I don't like. It's a pretty specific angle, but also a popular angle taken of many vehicles. It makes it look like the top is a bubble on the body or the ass is pushed down. Like this:

If the photographer stands up and takes a pic it's fine, but that angle almost put me off.

completely agree, no one looks at the car from its awkward angle. That's why everyone says it looks better in person.

Don't you live in the USA? So are you asking for relocation as well while the gun is at your head?
I'll move to Amsterdam For those recreational cafes and the breathtaking window shopping at distinct colored districts. Won't need a gun pointed at me to make that decision in a heartbeat.

Really? I dunno, I honestly feel like the Supra looks beautiful from any angle. I mean, it’s far from the FT-1 concept, but it grew on me and I fell for it super hard. And i'm the one who absolutely hated it the day it came out.

The only thing I find annoying and ugly are the fake vents, ride height, and the need for negative-offset rims.

Although, looking at that picture, I kinda see what you're saying. It almost looks like a Scirocco R hatchback rear, if you don't have the ducktail in view.

There's an angle I dislike from the rear, like 20 degrees from back-center, that makes the rear look fat and bulky to me. Very specific angle I have to find though, but I can agree that a handful of angles on this car just look off.

At least it isn't a new M2 where there's one angle that looks good and 359 that make you sick

So I ended up not buying the Supra. I went with something even more controversial and got the G87 M2. Still have a soft spot for the Supra, but had second thoughts about dailying something so small again.

Congrats! Keep us in the loop when you start modding. Those make serious power with just a tune basically.

Congrats. The S58 is a beast. Personally, I just don’t like the G87 in Zandvoort Blue and Alpina White. But that’s a matter of taste. AT or MT?

It's an auto. I test drove the manual but decided it wasn't good enough to commit to for daily driving duty and I have an NB Miata with a 5 speed to get my manual kicks with. I like the zandvoort blue, but there are some colors that you can custom order that I think do look better. This one was on the lot and ready to go though and allowed me to negotiate my trade in and stuff a bit easier. Definitely won't be offended if people don't like the color or just the looks of the car in general as I know it's not for everyone. As for me, the boxy style and rear flares give me E30 M3 vibes and I love it.
