It’s a nice little car that is woefully overpriced for what you get. Had the opportunity to test drive one in San Antonio early in January, the car salesmen practically kissed my shoes when I told them I was looking at one of them. They had 3 on the lot, including one of the launch editions that was marked at just under 60k. The one I test drove was navy blue and msrped at 56k but “they were willing to work with me” because they needed to move inventory for the new upcoming model. I drove it & wasn’t particularly impressed . The cabin felt small and cramped. The pillars made it hard to see from the corners and I’m only 5’7 and felt that anyone over 6’2 was going to have a hard time not bumping their heads on the roof. The car was agile but lacked the oomph that I get in my n54 e92. In non sport it feels like you’re driving a Camry. Nothing special. Anyways I didn’t push the car too hard because the salesman who got in the car with me happened to be a woman lol but she could tell I wasn’t impressed. They tried to convince me that adding a flash and a pedal tuner would transform the car but I want something that’s fun to drive right out the box. For a 2 door car with 2 seats, the Supra would only be an attractive option if it was priced at around 43-45k, and at its current price point just doesn’t offer enough to justify that tag.

People's ignorance on vehicle prices stun me (pre-covid). 40K buys shit.

Audi S5, Q60, RCF? Even a base model M2 competition at 58k. All roomier, with more features, horsepower and are actually considered luxury vehicles . For 55k you need a car that’s going to put a smile on your face the minute you drive it off the lot. If you already own a fast car, then it’s probably not going do that. Unless of course you want to add a few additional thousand to mod it but that’s a different story.

No kidding. $46k gets you a Toyota Avalon TRD which is your grandpa's 300 hp Avalon with stiffer shocks and a body kit;
https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...y-the-numbers/ A fully equipped Subaru STi is ovr $40k and it's a cheap tin can with a 20 year old engine that's pretty well gutless as a street car. A Mustang Bullitt is $47k and while it's capable its still as cheap and poorly made as every other Mustaing that comes out of Flat Rock. |

You’re just paying for the Supra name at that point. It’s an m240i with 2 less seats and branded Toyota |

Because I foresaw the "but you can buy a used bla-bla-bla" is why I included "stickers at..." You simply can't say a new car isn't worth market value because you can buy something used for the same money.

It's absolutely worth $10k more than an Avalon LOL and the hp doesn't really matter because we know it's making more power than advertised and 2021 models come with 382 hp. You do realize that the Supra is not using the same chassis as the M240i? The reality is that the M2C is an upgraded M240i the the Supra is a Z4 M40i with hard top.

And in response to finding a "$43-45k" comparable car, you named used cars (new and used are apples and oranges!) and then when pressed you named Q60 and RC which are larger cruisers than sports cars. With due respect, are you sure you know what you're talking about? |

Every time I see someone posting about x model being too large I think "what about the Supra?"
