@FuzzyRev85 The supply chain for the A90 is through Magna Steyr in Austria whereas the Rav4 and Highlander are built in North American plants (and even those are different locations). Supply issues for microchips might affect all three, but production and shipping for all three models should be...

I have a sneaking suspicion that we Canadians have an easier time getting MSRP, and we also have shorter wait times. The car is obviously more expensive here because of the exchange, and sports cars are a bit less popular than in somewhere like SoCal because we have 3-5 months where we can't...

Mighty Car Mods did a 'cash vs trash' video that showed intakes are a losing proposition on most cars. Intakes are an upgrade when you remove restrictive filters or open up flow on a car that suffers from an underfed turbo (Evo X). On the A90 it seems like the airflow is not a major restriction...

^this. Comparing a modified to a stock will always favour the modified car. No surprise. ThatDudeInBlue did a review of a bone stock A80 and it was really interesting to watch. The power came on smoothly and there was very little drama to the car - sounds a lot like the review of the A90 in...

My VIN doesn't even work in the tracker. But my sales rep has moved my eta from late August to mid October and now end October. Update: Toyota-Tracker is broken (by Toyota) so that explains why I wasn't able to track my VIN. My ETA is now back to end September. Long estimates feel like...

Yes, but that may just have been one stop of many. EvilMKV took a look and Supras usually ship via Wallenius Wilhelmsen from Zeebrugge. The ship that's burning is operated by K-line, and it probably has a bunch of BMW and Mercedes on it. It had just departed Bremerhaven - a departure point...

Appreciate the info EvilMKV. I'll update this thread once I have word, but for now I'm optimistic my car is not on fire.

I spoke with him today and he said they don't have anything more than the Pipeline ETA / Inventory Summary. I'm hoping they aren't just holding off on delivering the bad news.

Hey all, My car is showing as in-transit to Halifax. With the Fremantle Highway RORO burning off the coast of the Netherlands, I'm a bit worried my car might be on fire. Does anyone know what route the cars take from Magna Steyr to North American ports? I would assume they overland to...

I hear what you're saying Supra_UK_, but it's also unrealistic to think a car will stay perfect if you take it outside and drive it. You will always have SOME degree of wear and tear. We don't buy houses and expect them to stay show-room perfect so it's a recipe for insanity hoping you can...

Is... is your car named Pineapple Juice?

North Americans have a special, maybe unhealthy, desire for our cars to stay perfect. I've seen people threaten physical violence just because someone put their hand on a vehicle. It was a big shock to my system when I went to Italy where the average car has dented bumpers and cracked mirrors...

I nearly didn't order my 2023 in blue because of the Canadian site. Somehow every other colour looks close to real but the blue is pure fiction. Which is a shame because Strat is one of the nicest colours on offer.

You have good taste. We can make a MT Blue, Canada sandwich once we have our cars.

Are we sure this is a 'bug' and not BMW changing firmware to keep everyone from buying bimmercode to defeat this environmental nanny feature?

AT or MT? I have a feeling the blue crew are going to be more rare than A91's in Canada.

I asked for a MT in Stratosphere Blue - one being built in August was allocated to Ontario and my local BC dealership did a 3-way drug deal to get my name on it. Just waiting for the VTN to become a VIN. Hopefully showing up end-August.

Sometimes you watch a review and think "these guys are out to lunch". If they don't like your car you can easily dismiss it. I found myself agreeing with most of what they said so I was very relieved to see a positive review for the Supra. At the end of the day drive what you love, but it's...

Explaining my votes based on wild generalization: Mustangs need to validate their car by flooring it on every straight bit of road. At 2am. The nicer the Mustang the less they do this. Audi drivers are pointlessly aggressive. This isn't the Autobahn mein herr. Not bad drivers, just road...

Hey all, I have a Blue 3.0 MT on order arriving late August. Earlier this year I decided I wanted a Mk4. I've loved that car for 20+ years. A few months looking at prices convinced me they are now collector cars and not the hidden-gem driver's car they once were. Even importing from Japan I...
