Supra retro cool or just an old car?

What do you think? Personally I don't think they are there just yet.

 

But I do think, in 8 or 10 years time clean cars without a load of fibreglass stuck to them will be retro cool and command decent money.

 

Also, I hope they do bring out a mk5 supra, the r35 did the GTROC a world of good, maybe thinking about a forum name change to supra club would be a good idea? Be nice to have all the mk5 owners here an all?

I think it's not retro cool yet, the current retro cool in the car world is 80's really but I don't think it's too far off.

 

In regards to the forum, I think there is no need to change the name necessarily as they might just come here anyway. I know of a marque specific motorbike forum which has become a general forum for all classic bikes but still retains it's marque specific URL

When I think of retro cool I still think mki escort or capri. I agree the supra isn't of retro cool status yet and it's lines really do hide its age, though with more and more aggressively angular cars on the road she's going to start standing out more and more in years to come. Agreed some of the more rare models and colours may start to increase in value in years to come , I'm talking about 1a1 brown and the groovy blue colour tt six models.

I really do hope they put a mkv into production and we get the guys here but that's like us all joining the mkiii forum. Who knows I'm not holding my breath for a mkv I think they really have to strike a delicate balance against the previous model and where it sits in the product range against the gt86 and other production sports cars/cruisers.

I'm getting a bit sick of the body kitted look tbh. I think in a few years clean stock cars will be retro and wanted.

 

I do enjoy bodykits on cars and im over the moon with what i have with mine .. but you just cant beat stock look with a nice stance and set of wheels, ...

 

My girlfriend is in the stage of having her 350Z resprayed and after thinking of what kit etc we are going down the clean stock route with a nice set of GTC's on

 

If i was to get another Supra it would be 100% stock for sure

 

I can see the stock Supra's going up in value easy one day ...

 

Look at the GTR R34's, yes the harder to get but go for a good 25+k

just look at all the old ford meets......its only a question of time for the likes of the 300zx and supra to end up in the same type of cult following

 

There's already loads of oldies driving supras lol.

I doubt the Supra will ever get the same following here that those old Fords get. Part of the charm of those old Fords is that they were working class heroes, affordable when new, and looked similar to the race versions.

One thing I've noticed in last few months is almost everytime I take it out on the motorway I get people filming the supra driving.

 

That hasn't happened since the 90s when my friend had a supra back then. I'd definitely say its becoming a classic.

 

Lol Every time i take the McLaren out at work, especially if its around the time when schools leave, the kids just line up down a mile long road with their iphone's out :D
