Thirdly, for the 1980's generation who were into RX7 and the likes, well they are probably too old now. Also the Supra is not cheap. If it were in the 40K range, I imagine it would have some success.

Kids never stopped me. Actually some of the best memories my kids have and enjoy is me taking them for rides in the RX-7s. Just because you have kids, doesn’t mean you have to stop enjoying life the way you used to. Of course you have to adjust, but don’t adjust so much that you can’t share your life style with your kids. I’m 42 and I have 3 kids. 2 of them just left the nest. My youngest (8 years old) enjoys going out in the M4 as well.

Was considering the new Supra but this Supra is just the name slapped on a BMW. Besides, the wife got me the M4 as a retirement present so I was not going to complain.
