$55k starting at price puts it into BMW territory.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 1:02 pmWhy is a Toyota being compared to any BMW?

Interesting read on the 2020 supra... that interior looks low rent... which is a big ol also the pricepoint is 50k... M2 is 55k with way more power and a better interior... and arguably a better badge...
go for a 2020 supra... So about this whole thing. Where is it in the market ? Who would go for a supra over a 240i which is cheaper... or m2 which is better performing... It slots in between those two models IMO/
It's not a Lexus.
He prob got it for free as a "press car" and claims he "bought" it.
1. It is basically a BMW.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 1:02 pmWhy is a Toyota being compared to any BMW? The competition is 370Z, Corvette, Camaro, Mustang, Miata/Fiata, and to a lesser extent Kia Stinger.max225 wrote:https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a2586 ... rice-2020/

There's fanbois that will buy it solely for the badge. That's about it. This thing makes no sense. Most overhyped vehicle launch in forever.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 1:34 pm1.

2. It is more expensive than a comparable M240i, which I still don't see how the supra is better than that, other than style.

what the decides to do with the price, consumers will decide in the end. And this car won't move. Willing to bet.Gberg2119 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 1:51 pmtroyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 1:43 pm I think it's a cool car but not at the same price as a Corvette, M2, Cayman, or GT350.
As cool as the supra looks I'd rather have every car you mentioned over it.
And how are Toyota going to handle having an actual performance car? We've already seen how awful Honda has been with the Hype R. $20-30k markups incoming for the Supra too.

$20-$40k "market adjustments" for the first few months, I suspect.Gberg2119 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 1:51 pmtroyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 1:43 pm I think it's a cool car but not at the same price as a Corvette, M2, Cayman, or GT350.

1) it's a heck of a car
2) it's better priced than one would have anticipated
3) it's gonna sell every unit they build and at or above invoice.
