Not so hot take

[NocturnalEmber]

But I'll say this, going from a 3.0 Premium to a 3.0 - I love the 3.0 seats way more than the 3.0 premiums. The alcantara and subtle color difference underneath looks so nice.

They should have offered the Supra in a stripper spec. Rear view camera in the empty space in the speedo area then just remove the whole tiny screen infotainment system.

I bought my base model because I didn't want the extra electronics, but mostly because the seats.
...until I found out how horrible they were with a helmet on, but that's another story for another time.

In Australia, Alcantara seats were an at cost option.. only on our premium models.

My 3.0 has the safety & tech package, so I really feel like I get the best of both worlds. The only thing my car is lacking is the hud, which I kept turned off on my 3.0 Premium anyway. I love these alcantara seats though.

Technically, same here in the USA. You get them on the "limited editions" (A91, A91MT, A91CF, FE) as well

Until the final "track" edition, we didn't actually get any bullshit editions or even the 2.0L. We just had a GT (US base with 2.0L wheels) and the GTS (Pretty much a US premium with all the bells and whistles except for the garage door button). We could option the GTS with alcantara seats and pretty much any available colour, including matte ones. Fun fact: all those "special edition" colours in the US were just regular colour choices in Australia. Although we didn't call them stupid shit like Mikan orange. Toyota initially gave them track names like "Silverstone Yellow" but eventually just called them by their colours alone because common sense.

We all know this already.

Damn, really? TiL. I figured as far as 3.0's went it was 3.0 Alcantara and the 3.0 Premiums with full leather.

Honestly at this point I'm glad I went with the 3.0. Typically I just try and get my cars as fully loaded as possible unless I run into an issue like the top trim not offering a manual transmission. But after going from my 3.0 Premium to this 3.0 with the safety & technology package, all I'm really "missing" is the HUD i never used anyway, but I'm gaining these awesome seats.

They remind me of my Mazdaspeed 3 seats with the multicolor fabric; honestly one of my favorite parts of the car.

My not so hot take is that the Supra should have had optional Recaros, something like the sportsters

My spec is this too! Base MT with tech pack. I hate hud so this was my favorite spec

no hud, and MT got premium brakes so you don’t really miss much of anything

Good choice. I looked at a few stratosphere blues and the color is so nice; never was able to get to one in time, though.

I ended up with another Nocturnal. But honestly I think the seats really make it for me. Granted I tend to notice odd things about cars, but for me the alcantara seats tip the scales just in the right way to a more drivers car while having a good interior.

The 3.0 premium seats are nice, yeah, but it pushed the car too far into luxury GT for my taste.

the alcantra seats are so good. It Really helps
The interior feel. What’s funny is my braptor recaros matches it too, partial leather/alcantra centers. I love that look and style.
