MSRP actually jumped around quite a bit year after year for the MkIV... I think in 1995 you could have paid as much as $50k for a well optioned Supra Turbo, which is something like $75-80k in today's money. http://mkiv.com/specifications/sticker/95_turbo_sticker.jpg Prices fell in 97, 98, but...
Yeahhhh. Price wise it is admittedly the closest comparison. The term Japanese should make the distinction enough, but I just don't want to associate this car with the cheesefest that is the new C7. :puke:
Higher price yields lower sales. Fewer people can afford the car. The MkIV was a really expensive car at the time.
It is interesting to see sales figures for GT-R and R8 though. Even though percentage wise it's pretty volatile year to year, somehow they manage to avoid decreasing sales. I...
The base model needs to be worthy of the name by itself.
I would love to see a base 911 fighter and a higher-end GT-R, NSX, 911 turbo fighter.
I would hate to see there be some base model cheap Supra competing with the Z. Would terribly cheapen the car and dilute the image, and make the...
Yeah, in order for the new Supra to be a lasting success as a new perennial automotive brand, it's going to need the constant attention and development that other companies give their sportscars.
If Toyota builds a car and lets it die like they did the MkIV (and as Acura did the NSX, and as...

Very interesting. Should up the ante quite a bit. Current Q60 starts at $40,000 and goes on up to $50,000.
Personally I am not expecting too much here... the Infiniti offering has...
Merc & BMW already have flagship sports models with AMG-GTS, M series, but definitely have the ability to produce something bigger.
Honda to some extent has the NSX under the Acura umbrella, but will probably never have something of their own (at least in USA). Other companies that come to...
First car came out at $150k and while many sold for sticker, most dealers marked them up to $180k, $200k, $250k. And the dealers with big markups sat on these cars for months and even years.
I suspect it'll be the same this go-round, with the market more or less dictating the price...
I really can't imagine the new car will cost that much. A Ford representative told Dan Neil for Wall Street Journal $150,000. I think they definitely have room to charge more, but I don't think it's likely Ford will eclipse $200k.
A lot of the Ferrari guys are throwing around rumors of...
Definitely seems like the minimum price of a RWD car would be at least $20k, so at some point there just isn't enough room beneath the 86. But you would be surprised how many more people can afford something for $20k but $26k is out of the question. This would be the only car in its segment...
