Oh man, this crazy expension Volvo is gorgeous. Reminds me of the BMW 850i from the 1990s.

Reminds me of the Q60.

I have a buddy who swears by Volvo. It seems like every time I see him, he's driving a new Volvo CUV of some sort. The dealer loves him, which means he'll be invited to whatever shindig the dealer has when they launch this car, which means he'll invite me.

I didn’t get a replacement of the G, but got this. Still looking for a Q70 eventually. Hard to find one with the 5.6.

The 6MT Supra is coming, probably mainly due to the new Z coming with a 6MT. I hope the Supra and Z both make each other better cars over the years through some friendly competition. However, the 400hp base Z is less expensive than the 4cyl. Supra right now. I know where my money would go.



Exactly! As I was typing my last post about the new Z I thought the exact same thing and really missed my old G37S sedan for a solid 5 minutes.
Ive really fallen in love with the new Supra. Many of my friends don't care for it, but i got to check out a pearl white one and it somehow grabbed a hold of my soul. Definitely the next car for me after the G. Pearl white and 6spd of course

I was in that exact same boat. I had zero interest in the Supra especially with it being a rebadged BMW (essentially). Until I saw one at the grocery store parking lot.

It is one of those things that once you see it in person, and can physically interpret the lines, styling, etc. do you (potentially) fall for the damn thing.

I am 50/50 on it being a addition to my driveway- 6MT definitely makes it a plus. If Toyota ever decides to bring a Targa version... sold.

+1 on targa for sure! Id also try paint matching the A pillars.

Im not the best at taking pics but this was when it first came out and i went to go see it for the first time.


I love how the tail lights stick out, gives a cheaper regera type vibe to me and i just think it looks awesome


The front end starting growing on me too. Its just a great looking car.

It definitely has a presence when you see it in person. I think it's such a unique look and there's nothing on the road like it that makes it such a draw to car enthusiasts; even those who weren't crazy about it when first revealed.

I've only ever seen one on the road, and it was certainly a head-turner. A complete WTF is that?! kind of moment. Your head spins for a minute trying to classify what you just saw, because it's so unique. Kind of like spotting a McLaren, when you strain for a longer look asking yourself, "Was that a McLaren?" Not that the two are even remotely in the same wheelhouse, but the car spotting experience is kind of the same. The new Supra is rare (around here).

However, color me in the minority, but I think the Supra is a design mess. There isn't a single angle on that car that doesn't look clownish to me.

No wait... I like the trunk badge, and those are nice wheels. Otherwise, I truly dislike this car. Which is a shame, because I adore the design of the 3rd Gen... 36 years later.

Really? The supra is a dime a dozen around here. I see them just about every time I go out.

Nothing will ever rise to the level of the original Supra's. For me, it was the MK4 (4th Gen). The only car I truly regret not buying, but... different life with different priorities. But let's face it, the "new" Supra is not a Toyota but rather a BMW Z4. Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on the Z4?

I've seen two and only one is "local" to the area. White w/ black interior with the two-tone wheels (damn 5x112PCD)... And that is partly why I think I like the car... they are not a "dime a dozen" down here where practically every other vehicle is either a oversized SUV or a cookie cutter sedan. Even the G37 is rare and the Q is practically non-existent.

Yep. I just don't see a lot of flashy cars in Western NY; (Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, etc.) Maybe it's the weather.

I don't actually have an opinion. To me it's kind of like the S2000... a sleek, impressive driver's car (or so I'm told). But I genuinely don't care to own a Vert, so there's a blind spot in my eyes for these cars. For example, the G37 Convertible... I only like that car because of the hard-top design, and even then only with the top up.

I can count on one hand the number of current model Q60 coupes I've seen in the wild. Seriously.

Same reason I have disliked the Camry (Toyota, Toyota....) for the past 5-10 years? Or however long it's been since they redesigned it with all those silly lines, vents, and crap that makes it look way too sporty for what it is. I can understand a few enhancements, especially for a TRD version, but it's just too much. Similar feelings with the Civic Type R in recent years.... oh well.

Guess it's just my area then. I've been seeing Supras, C8s, Type Rs, etc all over. The supra's looks are growing on me, didn't like it when it came out but I think it looks alright now.

That could definitely happen, a car design that grows on me. I strongly disliked the Giulia when it first came out, and now I appreciate the looks whenever I see one.

Opinions should be flexible with age and exposure. Otherwise you turn into this guy, still trying to convince himself that a vinyl roof is cool.
