There’s a difference between fan and fanboy though, a fan can still see and accept the flaws in their preferred model/make, a fanboy is blinded by irrational emotion. I always reserve final judgment on a cars looks until I see it in person, that’s why I like the Supra more now that I’ve seen one in the flesh vs before. As far as looks, no real enthusiast ever said, “this car is fvckin ugly as sin, but it’s performance is so good, I’ll overlook it nd spend my money anyway, exception being a strictly track/race car, but for a road going or semi daily/track car looks always matter, not exclusively but they factor in Now, looks for image or getting noticed, I agree with you there, that’s not an enthusiast thing. I liked the way the gtr looked in pictures from the get go, to me it looked purposeful and aggressive in a technological way. After owning one and staring at it for a couple years, that feeling only grew, I never would have got one if it didn’t light my fire so to speak. |
