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.

I wanna hear your opinion after not just seeing pictures n reading stuff, but driving the thing. I never thought I'd give up my Z... Shyt happens in the enthusiast world.

Gave up the z years ago. Embraced my Germanic roots and rocking some nice turbo 5 cylinder power which wifey and I will hang onto forever.

Back on topic, I still like the new Supra, but it’s msrp price point was already pushing it imo, and any markup is just insulting to customers. But then again, a fool and his money...
