Not politics. Lack of materials, production shutdowns, lack of ships, trucks etc. It all adds up and throw in increased demand. Trump did nothing either. This is structural business.
Makers are still idling plants. Call the CEOs. Good luck!

Will keep...
Many estimates are pegging the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla at $37,000 to $43,000 — but with the current market, just about anything goes.

They built the STi instead of Subaru. Not sure why Id sell a Supra unless lacking room. Fuel economy?
" I drive a Corolla" - is something you say in your 20s lol. Needs black wheels??? lol :)
Maybe I will test it.
Useless black roofs and wheels lol. Whatevah. So no choice on the roof color except for 3 colors that dont automatically come with it.
Wheels are a nice style but again those nice design details and contrast are hidden with the shite color black is.
Starting to be a 'used' market vs new. New volume shrinking due to low inventory and absurd pricing
New Car Sales Contract as Shortages Rage and High Prices Scare Buyers Away
Volumes of new car sales have dropped amidst difficult operating conditions...
Just a cost-containment exercise to capitalize on the name for a few $$. Glad we have new sportscars but its a symptom of a box filled/truck trash- Suv world we live. Fk all that.
I would not buy the Z. I like the Supra better and its a much more intriguing design visually vs the Z. We are...
Thats all one can do in the current market. I bought my 2.0 slightly used with 800 miles for 42. The list was 47+. I will sell it in a couple weeks for 46k. I have multiple offers and dealers asking for it. Enjoy your new car and in a year sell it for a nice tidy profit lol :)

Well said. Wasting money on OLD advice on oil that will last the 10k miles/15000km's is absurd. Oil has come a long way. Old habits have not. Unless you are tracking or in a 'severe' use regime, dont change early. Keep the money at work not wasted on pissing away good oil that needs to stay in...
No it was COVID and never ending supply chain chaos. That is now impacted by a major supplier of said required parts the world over under attack by large type fascist idiot terrorist regime called Russia.
Add new lockdowns in China's "Silicon Valley' due to COVID. The calculus on this is...
