THIS Is the Manual Toyota Supra [Official Release]

[94boosted]

Yeah the new wheels and upgraded JBL system (it has been revised for 2023) is available on all of the 2023 models. Same with the suspension/steering/e-diff retuning.

The only differences for the a91 edition are visual.

Does that mean the 2020-22 cars didn't have forged wheels? Were they cast or flow formed?

20s - 22s have forged wheels.

Does “A91” show up on the title or window sticker as the model for 2021 & 2022?

Yes, the window sticker shows the Supra as an A91 Edition.

Let’s GO!!! MT gang!

Not sure if anyone feels the same way I do.

I really wanted an A91-MT because it’s a special edition for the return of the manual transmission. I’d be honored to have one. However, comparing the differences with a premium model, all I’d get are the red badge, red strut bars, better stereo system and a tan leather interior. It will surely come with a hefty dealer markup if I can even get lucky to get one, yet I don’t like the tan interior and I don’t really care too much about sound systems; I bet the badge and strut bars can be painted or the aftermarket versions can be ordered cheaply later. I’d pick the burnout white if I get one but then I’d need to spend further additional money for it.

I just wish Toyota can make it actually special, not just the hype of “special edition”. I bet for the upcoming year models they would gradually make further updates such as functional vents. Keep buyers buying new models with pre-planned updates.

Just a wish. I still really appreciate Toyota for making the manual Supra after all.

Honoured? Are you serious? It’s literally just a corporate marketing strategy to part you from your hard earned money.

Buy what you want, not what they want you to want.

Maybe I should’ve used happy instead. The delay of manual transmission and incomplete Supras are all marketing strategies. I’d be happy to pay extra if they do it right, by maybe offering red interior and A91-CF aero for the A91-MT. I paid for the TRD Pro.

I continue to be unclear on how Toyota does this. My dealer said that they get what Toyota sends them. How are some people able to put a deposit for a specific specification?

They can put in order requests and hope that Toyota gives them an allocation for what they requested. However they ultimately don't have a choice.

A lot of dealers trade allocations with each other to get the specs/colors that customers want. I'm not sure if this is something all of them do though.

Hm. How does Toyota decide what to send. I have never seen a Supra at my local dealer. Maybe because it is really a 3 season vehicle and we do have winters here in Denver metro.

What your dealership told you is correct and exactly as it sounds. You put down a deposit and tell them your preference. Your dealership gets allocated whatever they get (this process I don't know who decides, if it is Toyota central or regional management - regardless, your local dealership has no say in what comes their way). Whoever is in line first with their deposit gets first right to accept or decline the purchase.

The importance of putting down a deposit is two folds:
1. Your local dealership has proof of interest or "an order" for the vehicle so that Toyota central/regional knows to prioritize allocation to that dealership. Perhaps "prioritize" may be too strong as they don't seem to allocate a vehicle to match what the queued customer wants.
2. You get your spot in line.

Bottom line is - what you specifically request, your dealership may not get. The less specific you are (i.e. open to taking whatever color, trim, spec), the more likely you'll get a car sooner.

^^ This.

Someday I hope Toyota (and Lexus) actually accept customer orders for the exact model and configuration options they want BEFORE the vehicles are manufactured on the assembly line. I have heard of "special order" cases mostly on the Lexus side but I'm not inclined to believe it was anything more than allocations getting shuffled from one dealer to another with rare or supposedly "unpopular" combinations.

When you look at old model brochures for Japanese Toyota models and contrast what combinations were available to what usually shows up in the used car sales pool years later it becomes abundantly apparent that Japanese customers have always had the upper hand in this regard. New cars today that are optioned as they are in both countries tend to reflect the same trend.

I'm going to try my best to swap for a MT. I have a '20 A90 right now, and I miss having a manual car. Otherwise, selling my current A90 to get a M2 Comp w/ manual is going to be my path moving forward.

yes I should of clarified this. I put in my deposit and preferred order sheet to Toyota, and we’re 95% sure they will get the spec I want. But In the end it’s up to Toyota

I’m on the list for a Gr Corolla as a potential Supra replacement. The M2 Comp is the ONLY version of the M2 I would buy except a CS of course
