What I meant is a large amount of people pooping on the car can’t afford it, and never will.
Actual buyers that can buy it and poop on it I’m fine with.

I'm with the new "Supra" haters. I think it's fugly, in pictures and in person. Who in their right mind would buy a Toyota with BMW reliability? If I have to pay the BMW premium, might as well get the badge and snobbery as well and get a Z4; plus it's better looking (not as weird) IMO.
I heard rumors that the new ones (not sure which year) will have a manual transmission. Like an actual gear shifter!
Me personally I would want that, otherwise I would order the new Z.
right now driving a WRX.
i can appreciate the retro looks but it doesn't do much for me.
as for manual..meh. think I've had my fill
It's true. Whether it comes to Canada is the issue.
That car is a bit expensive for me. I really like the new Z or the new model of the BRZ/86. The BRZ/86 is just a bit slow, and lacks turbo which sucks. The Z is perfect for me as long as there is no stupid dealer mark ups like the Type R had for an example.
As for the Supra, if I could afford it, It would have to be manual and I really prefer if they didn't use a BMW engine.

Z4 base price is actually cheaper than the Supra.
Z4 is also a very nice looker. I prefer the older generations and shockingly they weren’t much more than an MX-5 pre-COVID insanity.
My friend had 3 Nissans - Altima and x2 Rogue. They’ve all spent time in the shop.
My Kia made it to130k without one visit (sans software updates/inspections as per notices)
My Nissan technician buddy has a Infiniti and the amount of stuff that broke in the past few years is astounding.
And horror stories of brand new vehicles misfiring clunking leaking etc. So he rips apart the entire brand new car replacing wiring harnesses, tubes etc.

We've had a lots of Nissans -- good (510, 1600 Pickup, 300xz, Pathfinder, Q45, Xtrail) 1 horrible Altima. The Altima changed my view on Nissans -- it had numerous electrical, climate control, nav/radio, and 2 CVT transmissions replaced in 80,000km.
It will take a lot to get me back in the seat of a Nissan.
That is absurd. Imagine spending all that money on a brand new car, and the engine needs replacing, and you had not owned it for even 10 minutes. Ofcourse the value is going to go down too....here is one from 16 hours ago at his dealership
Before the engine, Nissan Canada decided to rip up his interior to replace a bunch of wiring harnesses
To me there's a huge difference between being able to afford and being able to justify it. Yes I can afford one but I can't justify spending that kind of cash on what I consider a consumable. There is no where that car can take me that my Yaris won't. And since my Yaris has a stick I'd rather drive that.
Painted on the back of a drag car I once saw "I'd rather eat worms than drive an automatic". I'm in that camp.
Current car is a dual-clutch. Definitely faster than stick. I miss stick. It is very convenient being able to switch cars with my wife though. I got her to the point where she could drive stick in an emergency but she hates it and has no interest in improving beyond that.
How 'bout this scenario.......
You're not feeling too **** hot. You head to the Dr and he sends you for tests.
Results come back, and your Dr tells you that seeing Christmas is "unlikely", you're very ill. It's March.
Do you head to the finish line in the yaris, or buy that car (or boat, or airplane, etc) you've been dreaming of, for as long as you can remember?
