2020 Toyota Supra production to begin 2018, by Magna Steyr, Austrian manufacturer

Nah, we'll have stock cars. No one will order one without a test drive, and there will be enough to do that with.

Sounds like your practices are a lot better than those common to Toronto dealers.

The Supra sports car is coming next year. What sales volume do you expect in Europe?

The role of the car is absolutely not about volume or profit; it's about brand. It's a halo to bring emotion and excitement to life. I expect [to sell] a couple of thousand units -- the segment is very small. I expect demand to outstrip supply.

I do like that it’s limited. I wouldn’t want to be driving around and see another 5+ cars out, like all the Camaro/mustangs/challengers

If this car is going to be that low of a production then they should have just forgo the 4 cyl.

I agree this is a problem with low production cars. I couldn't get any of the local BMW dealers to let me drive an M2 the first 18 months or so after they came out. I wont buy a car without some seat time so I didn't end up purchasing one until 2 years after they came out.

Maybe by then they will have a manual.

Same goes for the C7

I'll take my health care and road legal R34 GTR's

yup

In Australia, GTR R34 were common, heck I miss my GTR R32 which I sold back in 2011, the price went up too.... I want to buy another one but the demand from US/Canada has bumped the price up considerably. Supra were common too back in the mid 2000s upto 2010... now all trashed, the rare ones are expensive. My friend's Supra he sold for 27K AUD in 2012 and the same car (same mileage and "stock" condition) is now up for sale for 75K AUD... ridiculous lol

Just a warning for people thinking buying a GTR is all you need.... maintaining it is expensive, hence why I sold it... it was a money pit for me and I have other interests that it was affecting.

Free health care is icing hahaha

Is the A90 Supra going to built by Magna Steyr in Austria alongside the Z4, or be built in Japan? I’ve been hearing rumors that the new Supra might actually be built at a Toyota plant.

 

[Rotaryrunner]

It'll be built in Austria

 

[Supra93]

I found this tidbit today.

The Z4 will be manufactured in Austria by Magna Steyr at its Graz production facility - the go-to overflow release valve when car manufacturers can't squeeze a new model into their existing factory network. The Supra will be built at a Toyota factory, CAR understands.

@A70TTR, is there any truth behind this latest rumor?

 

[2JZ-No-Sh*t]

Maybe it will only apply to the GRMN Supra?

 

[PerformanceSound]

Told ya'.....Sounds like my source was right after all about the Motomachi info??? .

The good stuff is yet to come, and then we can spin up the MKIV vs MKV threads again .

Start saving up boys....

 

[Rotaryrunner]

I hope it's not a track only version for bored millionaires.

I don’t think it will be for millionaires....I think it will be for folks in the GT350R, Demon, GT500, etc... bracket. You gotta pay to play bud, the MKIV TT 6spd was no economy priced car back in the day either.

It will be worth it....I think so .
