  1. Article - Akio Toyoda's Sports Car (and FT-1 Supra) Problem

    I don't think it did. Something like 2,000-3,000 per year. Less if you only count Turbos (about half).
  2. Article - Akio Toyoda's Sports Car (and FT-1 Supra) Problem

    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...
  3. Wish List for the new Supra / Must Have Futures and Options!

    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:
  4. Article - Akio Toyoda's Sports Car (and FT-1 Supra) Problem

    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...
  5. 3rd gen G29 BMW Z4 (2019-202X)

    Looking forward to seeing the M2. Would love to see a more sporting Z.
  6. Wish List for the new Supra / Must Have Futures and Options!

    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...
  7. Article - Akio Toyoda's Sports Car (and FT-1 Supra) Problem

    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...
  8. MKV Toyota Supra Dimensions / Specs leaked in Best Car Magazine

    Interesting article, albeit brief: http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a9862/the-return-of-four-wheel-steering-16311550/
  9. Reviving the Supra - does Toyota really benefit?

    Heyyy not bad. And to think that grille looks hideous on the rest of their lineup.
  10. Infiniti Q60 to Feature Turbo V6 with 400 horspower, more to come

    http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2015/02/infiniti-q60-to-make-400-hp-more-powerful-version-to-follow.html 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...
  11. Reviving the Supra - does Toyota really benefit?

    So a blend between and a Lincoln Mk VIII? ;) ;)
  12. Reviving the Supra - does Toyota really benefit?

    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...
  13. New Ford GT leaked?

    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...
  14. New Ford GT leaked?

    Wow! I know it's just a different color, but the car is really just stunning.
  15. New Ford GT leaked?

    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...
  16. Interviews with Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada

    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...
  17. How will the 86 and Supra MKV affect each other?

    Nice. Sort of like a Zagato GT86. I don't really understand the whole woman appeal either.... and that's a lot of money for an 86.
  18. MKV Toyota Supra Dimensions / Specs leaked in Best Car Magazine

    Rear wheel steering has been on cars for ages.
  19. News: BMW FT1 Supra Project Moves Into Concept Stage

    Yeah they look pretty nice. They also look heavy, so we'll see. Always love the premium Lexus seats, especially with semi-aniline leather.
