"I couldn’t go to a Cars & Coffee without wondering if I was a fraud..."

AICHI, JAPAN—After years of online bullying, internal doubt, and “Z4 in a Halloween costume” memes, the Toyota Supra has finally opened up about its long-overdue emotional breakthrough.

In a candid statement posted to its WhatsApp group chat with the GR86 and BRZ, the Supra admitted it had finally come to terms with its BMW roots—thanks in large part to heartfelt conversations with the Subaru BRZ.

“I used to hate myself,” the Supra wrote. “I’d wake up every morning feeling like a German in a Japanese body. People would point out my iDrive system, my turn signal stalk, the unmistakable scent of Alcantara. I couldn’t go to a Cars & Coffee without wondering if I was a fraud.”

The turning point came during a quiet night at a convenience store parking lot, when the BRZ—no stranger to identity confusion itself—decided to step in.

“I told him, ‘Look, man, we all come from somewhere weird,’” said the BRZ, lighting a 7-Eleven hot dog with a spark plug. “‘But at least people love you. People forgot about me. Everyone calls me an 86. But that doesn’t mean I’m not real.’”

According to sources close to the platform-sharing duo, the Supra initially resisted. “It was in deep,” said the BRZ. “Kept saying things like ‘I’m just a rebadged lie on forged wheels.’ But I kept showing up. Texting. Listening. Reminding him how loved he is compared to me—it helped ease the tension.”

The conversations eventually led the Supra to accept that identity isn’t just about origin—it’s about purpose. “I’m still a Toyota,” Supra posted. “Sure, my insides are a bit... Bavarian. But I’ve got Japanese tuning. I’ve got lineage. I’ve got style. And most importantly, I don't leak oil.”

Online reaction to the post was overwhelmingly supportive. “This is the growth I needed to see,” commented one McLaren F1. “Proud of you, bro.” Even the Z4 chimed in: “No more self-hate, king. Let’s all roast tires in peace.”

Toyota has since confirmed that the Supra is “in a much healthier place,” with improved self-image and a renewed interest in track days. It’s also reportedly stopped Googling “true JDM.”

As for the BRZ? “I just did what any friend would do,” it said humbly. “I don’t get love anymore—somebody should.”



The Supra’s next goal? “Maybe I’ll learn to accept the fake vents,” it admitted. “But one step at a time.”
