Toyota Supra and BMW Z4 Sales Figures

[razorlab]

Wait? You're telling me sales went down after they increased the prices and released a nearly unchanged lame-o and not very special "special" edition?

No way!

Bro, it has a spoiler-nub and black calipers. It obviously swayed all the Corvette owners to buy a "One of a kind, built on a Tuesday at 1:15pm after a smoke break without washing hands" limited edition. Literally look at all the parking lot Corvette dudes buying these things

Makes sense. Every day is "after a smoke break without washing hands" day at the UAW.

And their first answer to any question is, "It's under warranty, take it to the dealer."

Remember last month when Supra sales fell like 40% and the news couldn't stop talking about it and how it was an indictment on how terrible the Supra is, etc, etc? Well, sales figures for May are out and YoY sales exploded, nearly doubling last month.

I wonder if anyone is going to bother reporting on this.

Im one of these, wouldn't say its "exploded" but more or less Toyotas first 2024 production batch finally hit dealers. A lot of us April/May buyers had Vins/timelines in jan/feb, and they just finally arrived. I would mark this as Toyota first big production batch of the year finally in hand of owners.

I got my 45th Anni in February 2024. It had a manufacturing date of December 2023. So you might be right -- Toyota's first BIG batch is starting to arrive. The 45th's only trickled in.

2024 estimated take rate

This forum could really use someone who works in online payment processing to advise us on the correct use of "take rate". Oh well.

The demand is there, it was really just a supply issue. Those so-called news articles just looked at the sales number, but didn't bother to do any analysis.

That's the point the doomsayers seem to miss. Low sales don't mean people don't want the car. If the supply isn't there, only so many people can get them.

Anecdotal journalism is the name of the game these days. Without factoring in demand or availability a total sales number is just a number.

You have 10 Supras, and you sell 10 Supras, and each Supras sold within 1 day of arrival.

You have 600 Dodge Hornets, you sell 600 Dodge Hornets, and each Hornet took on average of 365 days to sell.

Which is the more popular car?

It must be the Dodge Hornet because they sold 60x more Dodge Hornets right?
Or is it the Supra because the Hornet sat on the lot for nearly a year collecting dust?

Do you geezers just jump an every AI written article you find out there?
