I don't watch Nascar anymore (probably been 2 decades now), but don't they use the Mustang and Camaro now? Kinda makes sense why Toyota would ditch the Camry and use a 2-door. It's ugly AF tho. haha

I think the lack of a MT is going to hurt it more. If anything, nascar will bring the Supra to people who otherwise wouldn't have known about it (let's face it, most people who watch nascar probably aren't going to shop for a Toyota). But once they get to the dealership (or Toyota's website) and find out automatic only, a lot of those people will lose interest.

So its fair to say the Supra won't be an exclusive car, more along the lines of Mustang vs idk Cayman I guess.

most likely, but either way AutoNews reported that they will make less than 10,000 units a year.
also if Toyota can only sell 18k $25,000 FRS a year, what makes you think they can reach Mustang numbers with a $50k-$60k Supra? |

The frs/brz is not fast nor is it a bargain. It's a super niche vehicle. |

from everything we're hearing the Supra won't be a bargain either. Quote:
