Canadian Manual Transmission Allocations

[FuzzyRev]

Spotted around Montreal:

Fun fact: In the winter of 2022 when the Northeast got crushed by a blizzard, an auto transport just like this one was hauling at least six CU Later A91-MTs...and it crashed, destroying every vehicle it was carrying. Several people that were tracking their vehicles suddenly had the VIN disappear from Toyota's system entirely. It was one hell of a day for those who got the news.

Wait so its always talked about theres a long wait for manuals since thats the new “hot thing everybody wants” but what about if you want an automatic now you have better chances of receiving a car the color you want earlier from the dealership than manuals or the wait time is the same regardless ?

Still a wait up here. Because nothing can be speced to order so again its whatever is sent by toyota regardless if it's MT or AT. Some dealers up here get 1 maybe 2 a year.

As someone in the US with vin allocation and delivery date finally, after 14 month wait for a specific spec, this is now my fear lol

Relax man, it'll be fine. That was a freak accident, during a once-in-a-lifetime winter storm.

Those boys are definitely getting some rock chips. Bad enough to be hauling them around like that in the summer.

Congrats! When is the car being delivered?

I thought all the 45th anniversary edition were already all spoken for... You had a deposit down for a while already?

They literally had it on the lot unspoken for, I walked in, gave them a deposit and pick up this saturday if the trade in for my FK8 goes well!

There is a 45th Anniversary near me as well, MT. The ask is MSRP and it's been sitting at the dealer for over a week now.

I landed an unspoken for CU later grey that should arrive at the end of may in Montreal.

There is also another one up for grabs (afaik) in Valleyfield Toyota, black with around 1200kms

I'm working with the dealer here in Fredericton NB to "order" a MT Supra. I'm about 12 months out from the ideal buying point for me as my Civic won't be paid for until April 2025. But I could make the money work a bit before then if need be. I'm giving them specific instructions on when the earliest I will purchase (February 2025) and that it must be a manual 6 cylinder. I of course have color preferences but I'm not going to reject an allocation if it's a manual in that time period and my choices are either take it or miss out on getting one altogether.

I'm negotiating what I can and trying to get something signed prior to the deposit. Hopefully it'll happen soon, but the sales manager is away until the middle of this month.

Which dealer for the CU later out of curiosity?

I find toyota ads are misleading. They say you can factory order a supra! Baloney. I want to trade my 21 and "ordered"" a blue last labour's day. After annoying the dealer in early February he checked the allocations and we were June?? But he traded for a blue at coming early April. Crazy system. I do t see a blue on this list. And why can't we get the brown interior in canada?????

Gentlemen, I have a white manual supra on order arriving in Montreal "this spring", according to dealer. Two questions:
(1) Any idea what Toyota's definition of spring is?
(2) I would prefer a stratosphere or CU Later colored car. Anyone want to trade?
