The A70TTR Dedication Thread!

[Sunspot]

If you had to run an auto X which would you use...A huge lifted Tundra with winch, huge light bar, rollover bar with fog lamps, mud flaps made of floor mats with the "chrome naked girl" silhouette...".and a horn that played "sweet home Alabama"?......or a lowered Mini S with curb feelers, 18" wheels....(that stick out 4 inches of course), red LED bar lights under the "custom" ground effects kit, exhaust tips that rise up above the rear window......and a horn that plays "la cucaracha"? .............and why

lmao, the troll is strong with this one

LOL, GET'EM KILLER!

@A70TTR Thank you for the hints and tips, it's been a rollercoaster that I couldn't have enjoyed more. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors and best regards.

Thanks A70, I have signed that change petition. Hopefully Toyota sees that and builds what the core enthusiast want.

The Tundra because nothing beats chrome naked girl silhouettes, sweet home alabama horns, and american eagles flying out of the v8; I could also step out and yell 'murica after crushing the Mini, which is about all they deserve

(note: I own a Tundra TRD Pro, so I am also a bit biased)

So, since we all agree upon RWD being superior, what is the answer for life's most important topic? Over or under? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_paper_orientation

 

[A70TTR]

Always over, and if not get out.

Can we get an updated, current, final (as close as final you can get) to the expected price range of this vehicle, base to highest trim?

55k, to 80k, with a happy face. Came from me

80k? I know this would be for the highest trim available, but, good lord that's getting close to GTR numbers lol

 

[A70TTR]

80 vs 110k is still a big jump IMO

That said, I'd recommend reviewing Lexus price bracketing for the RC in terms of structure based on changes/modifications. In other words the jump between them. At the same time, it's not an exact science and prices are subject to change and all sorts of variables.

Base: 43.5k
F-Sport: 47k
RCF: 65k

(options not factored in)

VERY true. I should've mentioned that it's closer to a "used" GTR.

Definitely over. If you roll under, you're clearly a sociopath.

Don't forget dealer markups.

Hope toyota doesn't do that.

 

[A70TTR]

Ford and Chrysler both instituted markup mitigation measures that penalize dealers that participate in those activities, but I am unsure of what Toyota has done on that end.

I dont think Honda has any measures in place, which is why the NSX and Civic Type R were sky high price wise.

Well, the NSX was legendary, and the Type R has also have its own share of legendary accolades. considering the limited supply, I doubt they would get penalized as they don't consider it a sports car or a halo car. It's just a modified Civic that doesn't need to be sold as other cars are getting sold. It is eye candy and for the ravenous, ludicrous honda fanboys.

Now, a Supra costing as it does not need to be marked up. Personally, I wouldn't let base model Supra get marked so people can get them, tell their friends who could then bring more revenue in who might be able to afford the higher trims.

As for the higher trims, I don't see them leaving the lot because they are eye candy and bring attention to customers. I wouldn't mind if they marked up an 80k trim Supra simply because of the rarity and what it means to that dealership.

So, base, no, lower level, no, higher level, maybe, highest, go crazy.

 

[A70TTR]

I very much believe the higher trims will be special order only aside from some dealers that will order the GRMN to show off and never sell. same old story...
