The 86 is okay but I really would have liked it if Toyota didn't capitalized on legendary cars and creating a forced lineage.

I made a remark on this forum as to how the modern Corolla will always be the actual relative of the AE86 instead of the GT86 because the it really was from the A80s (80s Corolla) but people here denied it. The Corolla isn't even bad, in fact it got better in recent years. Even YouTubers like Donut Media and Fitment have recognized the AE86 is a Corolla, just sportier may I add. I had this talk to with my Uber driver too and he said that he would've gotten the BRZ just to make himself feel better with the Subaru badge instead of anything Toyota associated with this "supposed 86 successor".

Same thing for the modern Supra. Honestly, I will never open up into liking the Toyota Supra MKV. The car is just ugly with it's giant nose in the front. The F1 inspired styling is terrible! Needs a nose job badly

I feel like this decade will be be an odd time to be a car enthusiast with electric cars coming into the scene. Unless electric can make their own legendary cars, I think people will always have a thing for combustible cars

 

Yeah, my main gripes about the Supra are that it shouldn't have been called the Supra when it's a BMW internally, and that TMC's funding is likely the only reason BMW even produced the Z4 at all. TMC should have just done it all themselves and forget BMW. But obviously, money and risk aversion talk. TMC has fallen a long way from the days of the LFA.

 

Do you track your LFA? If I owned one I wouldn’t let it go near a track.

 

I have, and on top of that I've tracked 4 other LFAs.

Yes, the point of owning a car like the LFA is that it's road legal - but I nevertheless don't see the point of not taking it on the track where it was designed to be.

 

Well good for you. I suffer from acute OCD. The thought of taking a work of art out into a pebble ridden, bumper scratching, brake destroying environment like the track is like nails to a chalk board to me.

i would seriously just Ferris Beuller that car and keep it in the garage and wipe it with a soft diaper everyday.

 

All those things you mentioned are far more likely on public roads than on the track, to be honest.

 

I cracked my 9000.00 windshield on the track..... but the LFA really needs to go to the track every now and then to appreciate how magnificent it really is

 

^^^^I recently replaced the $1800 windshield on my LC. I thought that was bad $9K would have made me
