You know what, me neither. Maybe just stick a sign that says "Fortnite Event: Free Ninja signing." Kids these days love Fortnite and Twitch streamers.

This will probably get parents to look at Toyotas, but it will probably drive away enthusiasts to other dealers. Win-win for everybody.

hmmm.....I really don't know -

Since they are "plugged in" to their devices, I can't hear what they are playing -if anything.

Well, the way the 3 ager bounces around while she is listening, that would be about right.

Ahh, perhaps sticking a sign that says "FREE K-POP CONCERT" would do the trick.

Also, brand isn't the same as a whole corporation. The LFA doesn't represent Toyota as a brand.

I assume you're a 2020 Supra owner that signed that stupid compensation petition, right?

These statements indicate you are either high and/or ill-informed wrt a great many things like basic economics. That's quite the high bar to overcome to having a rational conversation and explains why you say and believe the things you do. I'm not surprised that they would come from you.

No, I don't own a Supra. Congrats on further making my point though.

...and if you like having the Supra, but not having it badged Supra, they make this stuff called dental floss. Check it out some time. Cheers.

Please do elaborate, then, on what I'm missing instead of simply insulting people as you do with many people on this board. Given your post history I'm afraid you seem to be incapable of doing so, let alone having a "rational conversion" as you put it.

We're adults here, so please have a rational conversion without resorting to insults - or am I speaking to a man-child who is too blinded by Toyota's apparent greatness to accept legitimate criticism about the Supra?

And do elaborate on your stance regarding several points of the Supra, including the interior - as I recall, you seem to detest the BMW interior, so I'm curious as to why you would make a big stink about others criticizing Toyota for using it instead of their own "beige" interior.

wha? the LFA was more of a "hey, look what we can do when we actually care!"

it doesn't represent the ethos of toyota. it represents what toyota could be if toyota wasn't so scared all the time to be anything but toyota.

Which is why I'm genuinely curious as to what I got wrong according to him, aside from admittedly misreading part of his post (though there are probably Supra owners who can afford the LFA).

I'm also curious as to why he thinks an 80K-90K Toyota-built Supra is way out of line considering that's around how much the current Toyota Land Cruiser costs now, and why the Nissan GT-R has being going on for 10 years despite increases in price.

anything nissan is a bad comparison, simply because literally everything they sell is OLD.

Fair point. I wonder when they'll come out with the next GT-R and Z iterations already.

Ultimately though, I wonder if Toyota would have sold more units if they actually built the majority of the Supra themselves. Even if it were priced higher, I'm sure Toyota would have had more success in the long run.

I wonder if nissan will still exist in 5 years

I'm definitely disappointed in the compromises made by farming out the platform work to bmw. I understand why, but i don't consider bmw to have any spectacular handling characteristics in most of their cars at any point in history.

which makes it feel like toyota picked bmw because another brand didn't want to go to prom with them. And it's hard to like a step child of an also-ran arrangement
