Toyota's system is designed to mirror their corporate view of their cars, in that they believe people who buy their cars just "want a Toyota" and not a specific Toyota. They also place pretty much their entire distribution system in the hands of statisticians tracking historic sales figures...

To my knowledge the system Toyota uses in the US has been in place for decades. I can't speak to exactly how it was in 2020 as I wasn't actively shopping back then, but I have had the vibe that the last few years made their system choke on itself. I imagine without all the supply problems things...

From the buyer's perspective the system is definitely antiquated and designed for a bulk order arrangement where dealers keep dozens and dozens of vehicles on a lot, and the buyers choose from those already on hand. In this way the system is perfect so the head office can track purchases, see...

That might be the case in the Canadian market, but my 2023 did not come with the factory rear cargo area carpet. I bought it separate from the car for like 30% less than the dealer price. It literally is. What the dealer does is place a "preference", as in "they want a vehicle and would PREFER...

Port installed options are all the money-add things they tack on the car to pad the dealer's take. Stuff like the carbon fiber mirror caps, the half hood PPF, the wheel locks, first aid kit, audio cables, etc. The only actual option package the Supra has is the driver assist package...

I had three deposits at different dealers last year when I was trying to get my Supra. All three said their deposits were refundable, but just as a CYA get that in writing before you hand over any money. I put the deposits on my credit card, so if there was any shenanigans at least I had a...

ColonelAdama pretty much hit the nail on the head. IMO your best course of action is to have multiple deposits at multiple dealerships so see who can get an allocation at the best price... or just who can get an allocation. You may have to look at dealers outside your immediate local market...

Remember that that fan made tracking website only regurgitates the same info as the public facing Toyota website's stock listings. And those stock listings are infamously nebulous. They really only have two phases of information: "Vehicle is in build phase" and "vehicle is in transit" with a...

I had this same issue with the 5th gen Camaro. The driver's side A pillar and the side view mirror combined to form this perfect visibility black hole that felt like it obstructed a lot. I eventually got used to it. I do not feel like my Supra has that same problem. Either that or my previous...

Man, they must have really had their delivery routes boofed. If its any consolation, at least you aren't one of those guys who had their A91-MT's totaled in transport.

According to the NASA website their closest tracks to me are in the Ozarks and over in Topeka Kansas. The Ozark track is closer at 200 miles, but that is still a good distance to travel just to run on a track for a little bit then drive 200 miles back home. Honestly I'm in no real rush to...

Nitro Yellow in case it wasn't already obvious from my avatar.

I got a folder in the mail this week from NASA talking about it. I looked into it before this packet arrived only to discover the closest NASA track to me is like 400 miles away. I wasn't going to claim my "free track day" mostly because of that, but hey... the folder has a nice sticker in it?

I wanted something fast, with two doors, that didn't feel huge, that could handle, that didn't cost an arm and a leg, and didn't look like a foot. Icing on the cake if it came in a color other than white, black, red, blue, or gray. Shockingly my shopping list was an inch long, with the Supra on...

I bought some of these before my Supra was even delivered. I got the larger of the two sizes and I put them on as soon as I got my car home. They cover the airbag warnings completely and have stayed on since install.

I have a set of these in yellow on my car, they are very nice. Good quality paint, no blemishes.

When mine was in transit it constantly had its delivery window fluctuate, sometimes opening up to a whole month or more. It wasn't until the final stretch when the delivery date suddenly tightened to a window of a few days. Then that window kept getting pushed back a week at a time until it...

I was running late from a meeting last week and decided to go through the McDonalds drive thru on my way home. I pulled around the building and into the drive thru behind what appeared to be a Walmart "Great Value" modified Scion TC with different color bumpers. The kid had his door open...

I've encountered the same. Since getting mine last month all I've personally witnessed are strangers giving me thumbs up and complimenting it. I have yet to hear one single complaint or insult against the car in person. I take all the internet criticism about this car the same way I take...

Does your car appear on Toyota's own website if you search for Supra inventory near you? If so, how does the Toyota website show the car? Does it just say "Vehicle is in build phase" or does it actually show an estimated availability? I've always assumed the Toyota tracker website just pulls...
