The talk of a lower-tier version had some of us hoping for a 370Z-class option at about $40k USD. If that is truly off the table Toyota will lose a lot of customers looking for a modest step up from the 86. A $55k car will be $65k in Canada, which makes a similarly powered $33k CAD 370Z Sport look very attractive by comparison.The official target has been $55k USD since I first came to this board... that really seems to bother some folks, and there was a wrench thrown into the works in regards to lower trim levels, but those apparently did not come to fruition. so...
It's the GR Supra and a few trims above that that I cannot comment on.
The car essentially had one mission, be a Cayman S for less, and it does that well for the regular car. The upper levels are sure to impress as well, but the details are not something I can afford to divulge at this point.
Toyota sport cars usually to have a 8-10 year life cycle.Maybe it's 10k units per year with a forcasted 6 year run?
The difference between US and CAN prices are not that much different now a days.

It's actually too little.But they wouldn't have split up the manufacturing and each produce some. The cars will probably need to be made on the same plant I assume, like how Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru) manufactures both the FR-S and BRZ. Maybe 60k units is too much for either company to take on by themself.
Hello A70TTR, just to confirm with you, the $55k USD is refering to the higher spec 3.0L in-line 6? Any expectations of price reduction of the lower specced 2.0L in-line 4 model?The official target has been $55k USD since I first came to this board... that really seems to bother some folks, and there was a wrench thrown into the works in regards to lower trim levels, but those apparently did not come to fruition. so...

Yes I see that price on Audi Canada's official payment estimator here for the Komfort trim, but that trim is decontented and not available in the US, which explains why there is so little markup on it relative to the US base model. For sportier Audi models like the TT RS, comparably equipped the difference is about +13% in Canada- covering most but not all of the currency difference.The difference between US and CAN prices are not that much different now a days.

The 4 cylinder model is likely not happening or may be a Europe only variant. Either way, there has been next to no chatter on that for quite some time and most if not all countries will only see the 6 cylinder models.Hello A70TTR, just to confirm with you, the $55k USD is refering to the higher spec 3.0L in-line 6?

Sounds good to me! A 4 banger Supra would be a boner killer for me.The 4 cylinder model is likely not happening or may be a Europe only variant. Either way, there has been next to no chatter on that for quite some time and most if not all countries will only see the 6 cylinder models.
55k is for the base 6 cylinder model, or otherwise referenced to as the 340hp car.
Figure about the same price as a cheap house in Sarnia .....You guys are depressing me and I’m nervous how expensive this car could end being in Canada...
