Totally agree with you re the pricing and the wow factor.
Seems in the US far more demand for the car then here where it's very much an also ran already.
Think the drawn out launch process isnt helping, nor the fact that it's auto only - which is where I'm really struggling.
Imagine all these leaks have been carefully coordinated to throw everyone off the scent ...
It would be a masterstroke of marketing :)
How you post a video on twitter by mistake takes some doing given that all marketing needs to go through so many sign offs.
Thats my point... for £50k (we assume) it needs to be special, otherwise £30k to go on a proven motor.
To be fair £50k would buy me another 911 Turbo - now that was a special car <insert sweet memories sequence....>
Same boat as you - though for £1k was worth a punt, but so far nothing is screaming at me that I MUST have this car.
Will reserve judgement until Monday however, and if it's looking a bit 'meh' I'll prob go get a 981 Cayman S.
One of the guys said he placed a deposit on christmas day without any issue which would suggest there are still slots available.
The supra market place is pretty small/niche given it's a car that stopped production 15yrs ago and most casual observers never really pair much attention to either...
I can see a lot of deposits being cancelled once the spec/price is revealed.
Problem Toyota have is they have dragged this launch out for SO long, people just bored of waiting, and those who have waited now need to be blown away otherwise the car will be a let down.
I reckon the affair thing would actually cause less grief than saying 'ive just spent £1k on something I have no actual clue about, and no I don't know how much it costs, or what it looks like'
Ooh so that's what the ups man was trying to deliver the other day!!
Am on my way to go get the parcel as we speak, semi sort of wish I hadn't opened the thread now :)
Another question... How the hell do I hide this from my partner who has no clue I've ordered a new car !!!
Got my deposit down - but on sunday went to see an X2 with my girlfriend, and sat next to it was the M2 comp.
My god that car looks good!
This supra has to be special when revealed otherwise i think my deposit will be going elsewhere.
