How long did they say they were going to produce the Supra this time?

2025 or 2026 depending on the source

So what you're saying is that the 2026 supra is the one everyone on this forum is going to try and steal from each other

Huge speculation but towards the end, tools may be not as well maintained... i mean these things have refurbishment schedules & lifespan for sure but ever since covid I think all quality & quality checks have gone to shit.

I've been in manufacturing for a long time and worked with many people from automotive (some from Toyota and suppliers for Toyota). Products on the production line are constantly checked for tolerances. Automotive manufacturing is really big on efficiency and good use of time. Toyota in particular is huge on quality, so they will not send out parts that don't meet spec. It's incredibly expensive for a company to have to do recalls on parts and takes away from production of other things.

That's a very broad stroke description of the level of scrutiny

Don’t forget they invented the TPS which is the golden standard for manufacturing.

Bingo. TPS, TPM and 5S/6S are huge contributing factors to Toyota success and longevity.

I hear you, I'm in the industry as well. These are built in Magna. Regardless, with shortages I do hear and see compromises...
Those Cpk values are not what they used to be, at least in early/mid covid era. Still shortages.....Yet again molds are molds.. anyhow whatever. I did say speculation. I'm not going to talk for certain for thousands of suppliers, cavities, material batches, millions of parts.

Valid point. I guess only time will tell if they compromise or hold up. Either way, we should all enjoy what we've got now, before there are 0 exhaust noises to be heard.

Amen to that…the bumper car era is upon us.

Damn, I can’t imagine Toyota is proud of that number for ‘22. ‘21 will likely be their best year, unless a miracle happens this year.

The car is approaching the midlife cycle. It's par the course.

I get that. <5k seems low, though, even for a low volume vehicle.
