....was behind a black one yesterday, has some serious road presence from the rear. The driver was manually shifting whereby creating excessive overrun burble on downshifts. It got annoying really quickly. This automotive trends needs to stop.

"You've been approved at 8.99%." "You have my credit score in front of you, yes? You see my income, yes? Do you want to tell me the correct number or do I need to leave?" All of a sudden it matched the Pen Fed rate. The blatant attempts to fuck over there customers is why most people feel no loyalty toward any dealer. On the other hand, when I special ordered my '13 Mustang GT Track Pack (I wanted a base, not a premium). I went and test drove from a dealer that was a perfect location between my house and work. I called the sales guy the next week and said, "I'd like to work with you guys, dealership is in a perfect location if I need something. Here is exactly what I want, call me back with a price that will make me not even bother shopping around, and I'll be there 10 minutes later with a deposit check and we can order it." Called me back with an awesome price and I went and ordered it. Even came in a month earlier than predicted. |

I believe sales are going to drop dramatically in the coming years unless big changes come out of these incremental updates. The problem is there is no where for this car to go unless Toyota has something up their sleeves. More power isn't much of an option (unless the car gets the S58 which is very unlikely), manual isn't an option with the B58tu, widebody isn't going to happen without breaking a key development principle of 1.55 track width to wheelbase ratio, and Tetsuya Tada already ruled out a hybrid. I hope I am wrong but this car will get a facelift and red interior stitching and that's it. Then Toyota will say "well sports car don't sell so the A100 isn't going to be developed." The sad part is that Toyota devoted 10x the development effort (hyperbole) to the Yaris than they did to their flagship. |

I don’t think it’s selling well at all otherwise they wouldn’t offer 0% financing. The dealers did an epic job by turning off buyers - first by charging ADMs and by not letting you test drive one.
Good riddance... |

$68K MSRP in Canada for the 382 HP Supra?! You can get the M2 (Competition Pack, 405HP) for only $4K more, and the M2 has manual transmission. And the Porsche 718 Cayman is $64K.
Now I know better why I'm seeing no Supras out on the roads here in Toronto. It's overpriced, at least here in Canada. |

An argument can be made for it being one of the best cars at or below $51k and is a terrific value, but that only works here in the US. But I do agree that they are pushing the badge too hard.

One good comparison is to my M340i build. When I consider the discount I'd get on the M340, and paying sticker for a Supra, the M340 seems like a better decision for me. The Street price of the BMW isn't that much more.

Honestly the price isn't too bad, it's a touch high and dealers being stupid but the actual price is not too bad. Canadians whinging about the cost difference, it's the same for every car vs the USA, FWIW the Supra is 100K in Australia.

In an era where you can buy a CVT equipped Subaru Ascent for $47k USD this car seems reasonably priced especially when compacts like the STI, Golf R are pricing out over $40k.

It's just too bad. The dealerships are going to kill this car. If it makes 4 years of production I'll be surprised. |

So while my wife was shopping yesterday- I stopped by Toyota dealer next door with 4 Supras in stock collecting dust.
No discount offered and no test drives allowed. 👎👎 They did offer 0% financing. This is a joke. |
