Supra 2.0. Italy

[Fabio957]

Hi, I'm from Italy and I wanted to buy a new supra mk5 2.0.. I have many doubts about this car. In Italy there are no options or additional packages, the model 2.0. is sold without parking sensors (it has only the rear camera). In the USA, the safety and technology package can be added (parking sensors, JBL speakers, etc.). In Germany, on the other hand, there is the Premium package (JBL speakers, head up display, etc.) but no parking sensors. In Europe there are no 2.0. with parking sensors. It is madness that a car cannot have parking sensors in 2021. Does anyone know if the safety and technology package will also be released in Europe? The 2.0. has the control unit prepared to mount the original parking sensors of the 3.0.? Colors are also a problem. The European yellow is called Lightning Yellow and is a pastel color while in the USA there is Nitro Yellow, the European red is called Prominence Red and it is always pastel while in the USA there is the Renaissance Red 2.0, are there any differences? The cars produce them all in Austria in the same establishment as it is possible that there are all these differentiations between nations?! Anyone with the same problems as me?

Yeah, I do understand the problem, but as far as I know Toyota Europe decided to drop the parking sensors (front and back) for all 2.0 to further differentiate the 3.0 from the 2.0. The 2.0 does come with a backup camera, but to be honest I'm really glad my 3.0 does have parking sensors in the front.

Safety & Technology Package as in the USA is currently not planned for Europe. We are left with what's in the Premium Package.
I don't know if a retrofit of the parking sensors with the default iDrive (Toyota Supra Command) headunit is possible, but in the end any aftermarket parking sensors pack will work... but still not as good as integrated into the standard headunit.

Colors are also a problem. The European yellow is called Lightning Yellow and is a pastel color while in the USA there is Nitro Yellow, the European red is called Prominence Red and it is always pastel while in the USA there is the Renaissance Red 2.0, are there any differences?

No, just naming for selective markets (aka marketing), colors are always the same (yellow = yellow, red = red).

The cars produce them all in Austria in the same establishment as it is possible that there are all these differentiations between nations?

That's just the way it goes... different markets, different needs and some clever sales and marketing people decided that some market will get one feature, the other market won't.

Ciao, di dove sei? (*edit: appena visto Genova, che coincidenza mia mamma e' di Nervi - sognerei di guidare la Supra li' sui monti intorno a Camogli e Santa Margherita!)
Io sono del Lazio ma ho una Supra 3.0 in Inghilterra.
Sull'equipaggiamento non posso aiutare mi spiace, ma posso confermarti che il Nitro Yellow e' lo stesso del Lightning yellow, il nome cambia solo per motivi di marketing a seconda del mercato, io la ho gialla ed e' stupendo come colore, quasi arancione/dorato a seconda della luce. Il codice della vernice e' D06 se vuoi verificare; ti confermo anche che il rosso e' lo stesso al di la' del nome, e si', sono tutte prodotte a Magna Steyr in Austria nello stesso posto.?
