I get your analogy alright but I disagree with it. It's only an expensive street because BMW made it and it's going to be made by the same people who build the 5 series and G Wagon. Suspension and chassis wise, what we are getting isn't that more advanced than the 86. Worlds different interiors...

But as was talked about last page, the current USD to CDN exchange does not dictate our pricing. Infact in this case the Yen and Euro to CDN is more important, but even then the price has to be competitive with other cars in the local market so that is only 1 consideration. Sounds to me like...

I've said it once and I'll say it again, if the supra was going to be made this small and with this suspension arrangement, they shoulda just made a unified 86 gen2 platform with Subaru, and stuck their turbo v6 in it.

Ha, I was right then. I didn't expect it to be that cheap here (56k). The z4 isn't that much cheaper, plus its BMW so I'm sure they'll make up the difference before it gets off the lot.

People keep messing up this quote and reading into it and others like it wrong. The non bold part is the writers extrapolation, the quote tells the real story. As someone else pointed out, the teams went their separate ways. People are dreaming if they think 100% development of this car happened...

Sure does. Oh, you've been around Supras for a long time, I guess we should take everything you say at point blank then? Still no references cited... Here's one...

Yeah we are supposed to pay about 6% duty on things we buy in the US that aren't made in North America. I don't think they have the same thing going the other way though.

Yup, that's the internet alright. 1 person says something, because he saw it with his own two eyes, then another claims its BS and that his interpretation of events, as read on the internet is indeed fact, without citing a single piece of evidence. I searched around and couldn't find anything...

Well, that would be nice. I wonder what barriers are in place to stop US buyers from buying new up here? There's a 25% difference in currency currently. They must be doing something beyond the usual car exporting/importing crap.

From many perspectives, the inline 6 is the perfect motor. The 5mge doesn't get much respect from people that haven't spent a significant amount of time behind one, but their buttery smooth power delivery, great torque at every RPM, beautiful engine note (with a good aftermarket exhaust and or...

Thats basically the US MSRP, you sure he wasn't just quoting you the US announced price? Its pretty unlikely Canada would get the lowest price world wide. US dealers would start a riot, the exchange has not been great for us the last year.

Yeah I'd prefer the fake, drag inducing vent was the option though. Can't wait for an aftermarket company to offer a complete De-Fake Vent kit for the supra, nothing but filler panels like this lol.

Nice! Good buy fake door vents!

Nice! That looks so much better then the standard fake vent piece. Would still rather the door was just that shape to start with without another bolt on bit, but this is much better.

False. Saw one in New West, BC in a Toy dealership in 1998, was a 98 6spd model too. It was $80k Cdn. What, only 1.5 color choices for this car???!!! Black and Black with Red???!!! Weird, I wonder why they thought that would fly.

Nice! Now that I will buy. Used to hate Super Street, but as the sole surviving import mag, they seem to have had to cater to everyone now incl the old school scene so their content has gotten almost decent. Man I was all stoked to buy that C&D issue to save it to my significant Supra magazine...

"But the car is an answer to the cries of enthusiasts and fans, and comes at a time when the sportiness and fun of the Toyota world is hitting new highs (this decade)."

If I actually were to get a mk5, I'd rather do some custom bodywork and eliminate the vents on the hood and doors. Smooth them over and get rid of that horrible bolt on piece on the door. Maybe get a CF door that is the same shape as the stock door with the bolt on piece attache, but is just one...

Well, the worst thing about the fake vents is they're fake because they offer no benefit to not being fake where they are. They're there because the pie in the sky no limits FT1 had them so the designers felt obligated to keep those little details, but their engineers tested or ruled that there...

"Gravity & Resonance" add is on YouTube now. Kinda funny the last scene they chose to put in the add is the drivers foot pressing the gas pedal next to just one, obviously automatic brake pedal lol
