If you chose the 4cylindresTada said, "Itās actually the same level of rigidity as the Lexus LFA supercar, and it has been achieved without using carbon fiber so we could keep the price point at an affordable level. That was the most difficult thing to achieve," does that mean that the Supra is going to be cheaper than we thought? Or still carry the heavily rumored $63,500 price tag close to the likes of Porsche Cayman, and BMW Z4?
I believe price of the 4-cylinder shouldnāt be too far from the 6-cylinder. It should have a relative price point distance vs. Porsche or BMW. $63,500 doesnāt sound affordable, after all. That price is already in the luxury territory, even more expensive than a Corvette. Around $35,000-$55,000 sounds more interesting. If at $63,500, it would be the 2nd most expensive Toyota in the lineup, only cheaper than the Land Cruiser. Best if they price it close to the previous generationās pice. Keeping fingers crossed .If you chose the 4cylindres

For 4 cyl, 6 cyl and high trim 6 cyl.
Be cool if the grmn was the 62k trim we are hearing
I just want to mention, the average car price in the US is now over $36,000. Also, the 1993 MKIV Supra cost $69,900 in Turbo trim and $59,200 in NA trim when you calculate inflation. By 1996 the Turbo car was $80,900 with inflation.I believe price of the 4-cylinder shouldnāt be too far from the 6-cylinder.

Oh, i am fully aware. I was being hopelessly optimistic at the car being priced way less. But tada and sources already confirmed a 54k ish price tag all the way up to a 62k price tag. A70 said possible 40k for the 4 banger and from there is a toss up of how much changes are placed in this car.I just want to mention, the average car price in the US is now over $36,000.

Needless to say, the MKIV was a fairly expensive car, and the MKV isn't going to have an MSRP the same as an optioned up WRX or BRZ PP.
None of that really matters. The Mkv was a joint development with bmw in order to save on costs. Not to mention Toyota is not going to ignore the other available cars out there that will directly compete with the mkv. Your average sports car buyer will not pay more for a Supra over the other options.I just want to mention, the average car price in the US is now over $36,000.

Exactly right. Toyota will price the car depending on the market and we just have to wait and see what that is.None of that really matters.

At this point, pricing I'm sure is still under consideration by Toyota. We've got about another year (I'm guessing) before we get cars hitting our shores, so the market has plenty of time to change, for better or worse.Oh, i am fully aware.

Realistically, a 44-47k pricetag for the 4 cylinder car if it is light as an 86, pushes 260 hp and is easy to mod would be fine, after the complaints of people who won't buy it.
Makes it easy for salesman to pitch a 54-55k sz r and then people who wanted an szr can get pitched by 59,700 priced RZ supra before destination and dealer add ins. It seems hard to justify the price but if Toyota has a specialized page on the website for each trim, it can separate the cars as if they have their own identities
All manufacturers are well aware of progress and development by their competitors over time. Toyota is no different. Just because it's been 6+ years since they started working on the project, it doesn't mean that they were designing a car for the 2013 MY when they started.As time goes on, and other manufacturers come out with faster and newer cars, Toyota will need to price very accordingly.
With how the long the development took and how the production Supra is shaping up to be, Toyota will already have trouble pricing each trim with respect to the competition that is out already right now.
Much less the new cars coming out in the next few years that it will have to compete with.
so,
A90:
340HP, 3100 lbs, 255/35/19 F and 275/35/19 R tires
370Z:
332HP, 3,232 lbs, 245/35/19 F and 275/35/19 R tires
If these numbers are right, and the rumored 60k price point is right, we'll have something near identical in spec and absolutely in the same class as a 370Z, for twice the price. ouch.
Maybe they should have shoved the engine in the back and brought back the MR2, because if these numbers are right it definitely doesn't deserve the Supra namesake.
Fair enough, but let me explain where Iām coming from with my thought.All manufacturers are well aware of progress and development by their competitors over time. Toyota is no different. Just because it's been 6+ years since they started working on the project, it doesn't mean that they were designing a car for the 2013 MY when they started.
The Supra has been developed for the current era of sports cars and is also provisioned for the future. Pricing will of course reflect that. Toyota has literally hundreds of market analysts that work on producing data that will tell them exactly where they need to price this car to have the biggest impact.
Even though it may seem like we've all been sitting here waiting forever, Toyota isn't releasing this car "late", while the rest of the world has already zoomed past. You've got to give them more credit than that.
