Now several hours later, looking at the $52k CAD hoped-for price I suggest above, I'm thinking "Yeah, right - never going to happen".

If Toyota absorbs some of the currency differential and sells the I6 reasonably equipped (ie with the adaptive shocks and e-diff and at least 18" wheels) in Canada for about $52k CAD it should do well here - that would be about $5k more than a 370Z Nismo, ~$13K less than base Vette or Cayman.

The twins hit so many sweet spots - great handling, perfect form factor, good looks - that many were able to overlook its one major weakness, that engine. But after living with it for a while its limitations became a much bigger consideration to some. They either went aftermarket or bailed. I...

If after testing the auto press is nearly unanimous in praising the production car's handling as equal to or even better than the Cayman's and the Alpine's, Toyota just might get away with charging the same price as a base Cayman despite not having a manual available - but that is a very big if...

Well I can certainly see the logic of your argument given your tax situation and skill set. Hope it meets your needs.

You're sort of contradicting yourself here... I really doubt whether there are enough potential buyers out there who value the Supra legacy enough for Toyota to "cash in" on it in any significant way. Sure there will be some ADM'ing by dealers in the first few months the car is out, but that...

In other words you're a unicorn that Toyota's marketing department will know represents about .1 to 1% of their potential market for this car. Not a percentage that is going to drive Toyota's design and engineering decisions. The rest of us want performance (to differing levels) AND reliability...

^ Probably the best most thorough review to date, glad MT took the time to do it right. Funny how the reviewer (who has driven both) sees the Z4 having the sportier setup, and the Supra as more of a quiet, smooth GT (although I guess that setup is certainly more in line with the Supra's...

Time will tell. They didn't do so well pricing the last Supra turbo, hopefully they have taken that lesson to heart.

The front overhang looks a bit extreme here, if this is what we're getting it's too much IMO.

Toyota will just be shooting itself in the face if they price the Supra higher than $15k below the price of a similarly powered Cayman. There's a major reason (in addition to product quality) why Porsches are the most profitable mass-produced cars made (on a percentage basis), namely brand...

Much better, to my eye it still needs to have more blue in it to match, maybe just a touch of green as well....

Thanks Guff. Assuming the photo below is colour accurate, the Frozen Grey should be lighter and bluer....

Loving that grey - but it looks to be a (semi) matte paint, so Toyota is probably going to charge a $2k premium for it.

That is one truly fugly wheel - what's with that bulbous centre cap? I've seen better designs on $200 simulator wheels. Liking the blue/grey paint though, that could be a winner.

Here's a cropped version of a GT86 - Supra profile comparison from the Roadshow review. The Supra windshield does look more restricted vertically and that longer hood will impede visibility to some extent, although it is nothing like as exaggerated as a C7's.

Too bad about the poor sightlines. Out the back this was to be expected, but out front as well....:nono: You sit low, peering through a letterbox windscreen with a high window line and the curved bonnet spearing off into the distance. No idea whether it is (it probably is) but it immediately...

No surprise here, but that's one big-ass blind spot.

Canada sometimes gets lower-powered models that don't make it to the US, which could be the case here. The 320i sold here for years before they finally brought it stateside.

^ That's almost certainly a pearl white as it has a cream tone to it.
