If the C8 doesn't get marked up. Toyota dealerships is going to pay the price.

Good point, I don't remember if the C7 got marked up when it first launched in 2014?

They didn't. Maybe in SoCal at a dealer or two they did, but in general, nah. Toyota has done messed up. Idiots.

Chevy is not in the habit of marking up. You get your rogue dealers who try. But usually. GM doesn't markup or deal down. They sell at MSRP until GM pushes an incentive.

That said. I hope this puts pressure on Toyota and ford to behave. Lots of die hard enthusiasts of various brands are talking about abandoning ship.

But if the Supra was 5k or 7kcheaper? I see it still successful despite this game Changing car killer.

It's also a great time for Nissan to make a Supra competitor of equal performance at 5k cheaper.

The mazda inline 6 motor is going into something as well. What will be the cost??? Shyt just got real.

I'm not sure if the C8 is a good thing or a bad thing in the enthusiast world? Itll take 5 to 7 yrs for other car companies to be competitive.

Supra is one to two years too late, the c8 is the only real choice in this price range unless you are a fan boi.

I’ve never been a big vette fan, and I’ve never been willing to spend $$ on one, but with the c8, I could see that changing. Still wouldn’t give up my current sports car for one, but I’d love to add a mid engine vette to the stable in a few years.

Looks like this article found some MSRP Supra's. That's a good start.

First ones were delivered up here.

Also, I see that Akrapovic has an exhaust for the car (not sure if just aftermarket, or just an OEM option - I haven't invested that heavily into researching this car). They make some great product! Not cheap, but works of art.

I try to buy bright colored sports cars... and always end up with Grey!!! That supra looks so hot. In a perfect world? I'd get a vette and a supra.

Looks like brosfourrspeed are trying to buy a Supra. They're saying only the launch editions are marked up 10 to 15k...

10-15k? more like 40k

i went to go shop for one but there is no way in hell i am paying that much. Rather get a GT4 at that point.

Waiting a few months or a year until i can find it for msrp before i pull the trigger. This whole process reminds me of the time when i was looking for a Civic Type R when it first came out.

50k? You know what I could get for $108,000. Stupid people live in this country... proof is anyone paying 50k over MSRP.

That supposed sticker looks a little dubious. It's not a federally compliant Monroney sticker.

P
I'm hoping it sells. We cant monopolize the enthusiast market; then complain that there are no sports cars out there. I think toyota is gonna have to incentivize the Supra to sell.

The corvette is a "take my money" car!!
