The Official AUSTRALIAN Thread

There's no compliance to do just paperwork for the EU spec if that's all it takes. You don't think new cars need a physical test in Australia do you.

With what is generally accepted as around a year of production left, it just doesn't make much sense to go to all this trouble for such a low volume car. And besides, I'm not sure customers are going to take to a new sports car model year with a lower power output coupled with the yearly price increases we've seen.

Thinking about it, it actually some sense for sales to stop around this time: As it takes us 6-12 months to get cars landed here, it isn't unreasonable to think that sales might stop 6-12 months before the end of production, no?

Also, it could just be the global canary in the mine we've all been waiting for.. We all know its coming. Maybe the canary already sung with the UK sales halt a few months ago?

All I can say is that if you want a brand new Supra in Australia, I'd suggest getting your shit together posthaste.

If we keep going down the current path making headlines on the evening news in ten years time won't be the cops busting a suburban Meth lab but my house with it's backyard Gasoline lab.

My car finally landed today. 10 months and 6 days from order to delivery. My YouTube history is a time capsule of pain, but I made it.

Has anyone ordered a Supra lately? I'm curious to know if these are still orderable as we still haven't had a MY25 announcement here in Australia. I haven't got any mail on it, but I do suspect these cars are close to done here. Anybody spoken to a dealer lately or know anything?

I've ordered mine at the end of June. Currently supposed to be a September build slot

I picked up my car today and was told that it's still available to order but probably not for much longer. There won't be much notice, if any, when orders close.

I had a 9 month wait from order to delivery. Toyota emails were a bit unreliable but the dealer kept me updated often.

No front plate holder fitted, car looked good on delivery so I'm pretty happy.

I've got a few mods planned but nothing major. Clutch is...interesting. Will see if I get used to it.

Congrats on getting yours! How long did it take from being told it was being built to when it arrived?

 

[Luca]

Thanks! My build date was May and I received a shipped email from Toyota at the start of June. Once you receive this email the dealer should be able to give you the name of the boat if you're wanting to track it.

The boat arrived in Australia in July, and I had the car a month later. The main delay seemed to be getting from the port to my regional dealer.

Just been advised build date is October 15th...I'll believe it when I see it. Posting because I don't have anything better to do and my mkIV isn't back yet either

Did they note any changes for Aussie MY25 cars?

Saw my first anniversary edition today, orange.

I think maybe you mean a standard orange Supra? Unless maybe you're overseas.. We don't get any special editions here.

Thoughts on the colour? I saw one a while back and it didn't do much for me. ?‍

 

[Brenden]

No changes for 25. Salesman sent me through "super secret, dont share bro or I'll get in trouble" latest release data. The only change was to weights. No idea if it was up or down, just highlighted as changed
Thought the orange would look cool

Yea my bad. Didn't realise you couldn't order the anniversary model here. Such a short look at it coming at me head on around a corner and disappearing hard to say really
