Cars We Drive!

I have the adaptive cruise control, I think anything blocking the bottom grill is no go (that’s where the radar for ACC is).

Looks like if I want no drill I have to stay with the hook off center thing (then f around to make I’m sure it doesn’t false alarm park assist)

You can pivot, raise, and lower the plate as needed. I think you should be able to position it so it's out of the way of any sensor or camera.

More pics of the new Supra:

Best view of the new Supra is definitely from the rear.

It's not gorgeous, but I don't think it's terrible looking. The worst thing about it is that it's impossible not to see "Z4"--particularly from the side.

The interior is atrocious. Not so much because it's intrinsically bad, but because it is a poor match for the exterior. It looks very luxury coupe, as opposed to sports car. And that steering wheel! WTF. Is Toyota sharing GM's parts bin these days?

Yeah, exactly the same as the Z4.

I really hate ******* screens. Don't understand why manufacturers haven't migrated more to using dial clusters and HUDs.

Can't wait to rip the nav system out of my car one day.

Oh and went to the website

Check the last image they specifically said won’t work with ACC, oh well...

Oh, that sucks.

I've heard of people using adhesives or magnets to attach the front plate. The latter requires gluing magnets on the backside of the front bumper. I'd do anything to avoid making holes.

As I mentioned previously, a friend had a detail shop put magnets in his bumper and they created some sort of licence plate holder with a soft backing that wont scratch his paint protection film and ceramic coating. Its a really strong magnet so the plate won't go flying off at high speeds. That might be your best alternative if you don't want to go with a tow hook plate holder.

Speaking of HUD, really like the bmw HUD with sat nav, almost never look down again, though it only works with BMW set nav, not google map via apple car play

Oh and the park assist is amazing, but that’s probably because the last time I drove any car for a long time is back when they only bip...

I haven’t really driven in 10+ years, so my new car’s back-up camera was impressive enough on its own.

Foo, gotcha on the back up cam...muhahahahha...... No puny screens here......
not my pic.

One month and nearly 1,000kms with the RS. Couldn't be happier.

Congrats looks great! Always fun to go driving with a group of other Porsche owners!

It's so BMW, it's got a BMW door jamb plate in it. Look at the second photo in this sequence:



The interior looks like they just replaced the BMW Roundel with the Toyota logo, and added red accents.
