The Raven Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Someone on the kent car club had top gear contact them as she is selling an older vette she says they filmed a section on buying older fun cars for less than newer slower less fun ones. Now this has to be our best shout to get a supra on the show im asking her if there was one there Edited June 29, 2011 by The Raven (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I wouldn't really want a Supra appearing in that article really. It's bad enough with the boy racers buying them nevermind them being advertised as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I've always wandered why the supra didn't get a mention since it's review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I've always wandered why the supra didn't get a mention since it's review. Clarkson has always viewed the Supra as a 2nd Division footballer's car - I think he was referring to the Mk3 some years ago now. As for the Mk4, his summing up of it's occasional negative image would probably be spot on - although he probably wouldn't deny it's quite a quick old hector. There's certainly been a similar thread (if not more) on this in the last couple of years...lurking somewhere in the vaults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) There's certainly been a similar thread (if not more) on this in the last couple of years...lurking somewhere in the vaults. I searched for it this morning but couldn't find it. I do remember it though. Basically, the chances of Clarkson giving a fair review are slim. He might like it, he might not: it'll probably depend on, I dunno, the brand of tyres that happen to be fitted to the one they get in the studio, or the colour of the paint. Anything that holds the audience in the palm of his hand. Top Gear isn't Autocar magazine: it's Nuts with a few less boobs and a few more vehicles (not all of them cars). It might be fun to see one on Top Gear (not counting Tiff Needell circa 1993), but if it ever happens you'd best have a thick skin regarding people criticising supras. It could get slated!

I doubt that'd happen though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathWraith Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I reckon it would be pretty good if it got a good fair review. ALthough the comparisons to boy racers and what not aren't reallyy gonna help the Supra but then again F&F did that. It's just that the prices are cheaper now.

Westy Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I still think its one of the best looking car around despite its age...the price these days doesnt reflect the car at all!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
