The1 Toyota Supra is far from a success. Enthusiasts felt cheated. The car is plagued with BMW recalls. And outside of the sheetmetal, the suspension tune and an ECU remap for throttle, tq hp etc.... Toyota bears no footprint on this car.

The price was probably $7,000 too high for peoples expectations.

The black only interior was disappointing and not to mention the interior is identical to all BMW products.

To add insult to injury. Corvette knocked it out the park with an in house production of a true supercar for about $80k nicely equipped.
Or you can buy a $57k one size fits all supra.

The Z has the potential to eat the Supra alive. But Nissan has to do some revolutionary chassis work!!
Bring the Z chassis to 2020 standards. As well as the appropriate transmission. The supra at best sparked a JDM return, kinda. I think toyota shouldve brought out the RC with a really powerful turbo 6 and called it the supra. I guess this car made no sense to enthusiasts.

It's crazy cuz Texas is a sports car crazy state. We sell half the sports cars in the nation here. But I've yet to see a Supra in the wild. I'd call that a fail.
It’s funny bc I did see a red one but it still had dealer listed on the license plate which makes me think it wasn’t a customers car. I still like them to be honest.

I think you’ll get a kick out of this since you live in teh DFW area. A salesman was posting a yellow on AT MSRP on the Frisco/Little Elm FB Marketplace - NO catch, totally legit etc etc. which got me thinking - I guess they aren’t selling like I thought they would. It did make me wonder and consider taking a look but couldn’t stomach a $800/mo for a car payment and that is including me trading in my current Z and adding cash.
