New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

[BrettS]

Thanks Guff. For us Canadians though, holy crap with the tariff added at $79,400 converted today that is $105,000 CND...even higher potentially as the same car us is always more over US models...

Why would a US tariff apply to us Canadians?!

Tariff on imports

 

[Jdmuscle]

The price indicated can be change if a tariff of up to 25 percent on imported cars for US.
~$63.5K USD MSRP + 25% = ~$79.4 K USD MSRP

Seems like.. even the Gods don’t like this car to become a reality. Donski.. if the car’s lackluster specs don’t kill it.. tariffs will make sure to nail the coffin shut.

Not saying it will apply to Canada, but with all the trade/tariffs going on now it could by the time this car comes to market next year...(harley davidson may move production out of the US due to tariffs which would be terrible) There is a lot of uncertainty right now...

If the tariffs become a thing, wouldn't the main domestic brands cut prices to make it a steal just to take sales away?

 

[mkivalex]

The car would be imported directly from Europe to Canada. We wouldn't face the same tariffs.

Welp, going back to weight and MAH Horsepower.

Tariff on imports

Does not compute....

Canada (some Americans' perceptions to the contrary) is not the 51st US state. It won't be imposing import tariffs on Japanese cars just because the US does. In fact if tariffs do get applied to the Supra by the US, the resultant oversupply of vehicles due to lower US demand could lead to lower pricing in Canada.

Umm.... we don't know the power output of the Supra yet.... The Crown's hybrid V6 has similar output to the LC and LS hybrids.

the Century will cost 3x as much as the Supra

The Crown and the Century are two different cars...

I wonder why they didn’t get in bed with rolls to build the Century. They could’ve saved so much money. One day all Toyota’s will be someone else’s cars.. they should also let Honda build the next Camry

The development cost lots of money with euro specifications. Is not easy to validate crash test with l6 engine. Not easy to reduce co2 emissions. Only bmw have validate l6 this for euro 6 spec. That why Toyota have choices and make partnership with bmw.

Why? A Century is + $200k.They also sell well enough with guaranteed buyers and have a very long life cycle. Few true sports cars sell . Their cost of development is high. Do you want a Supra that approaches LFA pricing? Honestly, I could think of few other companies that would be a better partner for Toyota to build a dedicated sports car platform with (Lotus springs to mind). If after 5 years the car turns to complete crap I'd get the incessant moaning, but Christ almighty this is getting tiring.
