A dealer has a Supra in concrete, a new color. Has anyone seen this?

That is not a color offered by Toyota...The only gray tones are Turbulence Gray and Phantom which is a matte finish...And then there is Tungsten which is a dark silver...

Strange, they insist it is a new color, but I would agree with you. It is no where to be found, so why they call it Concrete, I don't know. They are going to send an image.

It wouldn't be the first nor the last time a Salesman is wrong...I had to educate a Salesman on the Supra when I was purchasing mine... LOL

Yes, the 1st person I went in and saw, when I wanted to see the Supra, knew less than I did. So I just enjoyed looking at it and sitting in it.

I would bet it is Phantom, which seems to look like concrete, in a way. Have you seen the Phantom?

I haven't seen in person...I like how it looks in the pics but that matte paint finish is going to be very difficult to maintain...

That is what I have always read. Looks good at first but eventually it will take on more of a sheen and there goes the matte.

yeah and good luck trying to remove a fine scratch or repair a chip...You'd be better off purchasing a Turbulence Gray and wrapping it in clear self healing Matte film...Ha!

If Iā€™ve learned anything about my supra over the last few months of ownership, itā€™s that the dealerships know nothing about this car. Iā€™ve met only one tech within hundreds of miles who knew enough to give me insightful information.

One salesman even told me the supra did not come in different models, and that the one on their lot was the same one every lot would have -__-

Phantom looks cool but I wouldnā€™t want to have to care for matte paint. The manual cautions about proper care and cleaning...

Iā€™m in south Louisiana, and I had seen all 3 models in person before inquiring. Thatā€™s no so bad, at least itā€™s not base only!
