No arguments there, but sadly I don't think that is going to be the case.
On a different note, when the 2008 GTR came out with no manual what was the feedback/response back then?It's nice to see new people on the forums come on here and try and act like they know what the hell they are talking about. Here you are buddy, a bing search for you (plug in the numbers):

Here is a window sticker off of a 1994 Non-turbo Automatic Supra....$39K....in 1994:
Translate that to today's money, that's $66k. FOR A NON-TURBO AUTOMATIC!!! Now, the Turbo 6spd's sold in the mid $40k's....fully loaded to the brim, they were at ~$46k....in 1994. Translate that to today's money, that's $77k....not including the other dealer markups and addon's. How is that not near or just at $80k today? Suck it!
As for the GTR not selling....don't look at one year, look at the fact that the car has been in production since 2008! If you will notice, they have been selling quite well considering the car is 10years old now, with a year or two having some dips. Suck it twice!

You proved my point buddy, a good majority of buyers ARE paying top dollar for MKIV's today.....considering how many are actually left to buy on the used market. "Majority" in MKIV Supra sales terms is less than ~20 buyers a year because of actual inventory available. Not because people don't have money, it's because there aren't enough used MKIV TT Supra 6spd's out there. Suck it three time!
Don't be upset that your beloved Supra is going to be failure like it's little brother the FR-S. It's survival of the fittest, and Godzilla wins EVERYTIME!
Good amount of people was cried because of high price/no manual option. Now a GTR base is even more than when it came out in 09. Then they slowly stopped caring as much and just took the car as it came. Which I feel may be the case for the Supra. If it's tunable, then it really doesnt matter what power it comes with, since a majority of us will not be keeping it stock anyway.
That's a rather puerile response. Why are you even here?
It didn’t matter bc the GTR made up for it with 500hp+ out of the box. The MKV Supra is underpowered, overweight, overpriced, and no manual. This is a recipe for disaster....it’s dead before it’s even alive. The GTR’s pricetag, no manual, and AWD was ignored by buyers the moment the car was labeled a “Veyron Killer.”
Exactly! Forget it competing with the $100k GTR, how about a $50k Corvette? Or $50k Shelby GT? Or how about a $60k Hellcat? All of which will walk all over the new Supra and still have room to hop-up.
Revival of Supra because of
Not to call anyone out, but so many people on this forum have said they would rather get xzy. And yet they keep coming back.
Not me....I’ve always been edging towards a GTR. I was always holding off hoping Toyota would shock the world by announcing a home-grown powerplant in the MKV. However, with recent news....it’s solidified my fears....a way overpriced GT86. I mean, what’s the difference in performance of a 2700lb car with 205hp (GT86), and a 3300lb car with 350hp (MKV)? Is there really much of an edge there?Not to call anyone out, but so many people on this forum have said they would rather get xzy. And yet they keep coming back.
I think he said no retractable wing due to weight and cost.
Again....in the states. Everywhere else in the world, it competed with GTR. Again, the MKIV Supra exists as a direct response to Nissans GTR program. Technically, we should all thank Nissan, lol.
Thanks for posting, enjoyed that...
