Speaking of TMC USA, is there an event for early buyers to test drive the car? Wonder if I can stop by and drive the vehicle myself in such an event.

well, in the EU and Japan (afaik), that's essentially how test drives will be done; in groups so to speak, at "experience events."

they may do some events like that in certain places, like California, Texas, etc, but due to the small quantity of cars I doubt anything beyond that will be a reality and even that would surprise me a bit for the US.

From my DM ...

SUPRA: the press has been abundant and I know your phone is ringing. Plan is to have one per dealer arrive probably in late July. Allocation and wholesale details beyond that will be communicated at the winter dealer meeting next month

This is the first official communication on the Supra

nice, so the one per dealer rumors continue, although I feel volume dealers may receive 2-3x that amount, but July huh? Pretty cool.

A car like this, they will give the initial allocation of one, then the next allocation Longo will get 5-10 and I'll get one or none.

You guys are lucky. I called the dealership here in the UAE and they had no idea what I'm talking about. The guy on the phone went to ask a sales specialist and when he got back he told me they don't have a Supra anymore and to get it's replacement, the 86. I hung up.

To be fair I work at a dealer and I've got production dates from Toyota saying March. So that doesn't seem too far fetched. I personally haven't seen a release date though.

One of the higher ups for USA sent me a PM and said experience events are planned for May-ish time frame. So looks like there will be the same type of test drive experiences going on in each region.

Being this is the case, June/July seem probable.

Ya that lines up with one of the Higher up people Ive talked to in the SET region. I've already got dibs on our first Supra. I may even take delivery from port stock ;)

I'm in GST so a different deal, but production dates of March would line up with July roughly, after the usual GST mystery hold at the port.

I'd like to know if they are going to tour the cars to showrooms around US before its on sale. Similar to what Subaru did with the BRZ.

Toyota have confirmed that deliveries (in the UK at least) will start in September with some sort of test drive event before then. They said they ‘can’t confirm if this will be at a track yet’
All of ‘the 300’ will be delivered this year.
