And sounds like they are desparate to get rid of the white one lol. Good look at that price.

Theres a new grey GT manual at a dealership near me which has been there for over a year (i inquired about it last may lol), and im just biding my time for that particular one.

its not listed on cargurus or autotrader or anywhere except on the dealer website. So there is a possibility that there are a few other new ones not listed.
Oh there will certainly be more but even if that is 50% accurate that means there are maybe 30 across the whole country. Add that we are just going into the selling season and they won't last long. Unless of course they have done some stupid high mark ups!

LOL the same dealer has the two marked up ones and they are $10,000 apart in price!

WAIT! It is the dealer that my Hakone came from. Glad I wasn't buying it from them!
Somebody local just grabbed a 2020 86 base for 2k under. He said he ran for the border after leaving the dealership

My guess is the occupancy is capacitive and the airbag is a load cell.

JFC, you literally said supercar, while following up with posts saying you didn't say that.

Don't like the twins, don't buy one. Why stay on a site about the car if you think they suck? Is your life this pathetic?

You make a valid point. I always wonder why people feel the need to lie to boost their ego.

He had one. It blew up so now everybody that hasn't had an issue is a moron that just don't know how bad it is and anybody that still likes it and says so is a fanboi that ignore the many many many supposed issues.
Once upon a time he was a decent dude but all that changed when he just became another troll.

I love cars with lots of black accents that contrast with a clean white. I would have gotten a white twin if it was actually white. I agree they look dirty.

Never thought I’d own a white car. The ceramic white is good though. This far all my cars I’ve owned, zero have been metal flake or pearlescent finish.

Facts <> lies

And the goal setting for the twins was set so low. It's basically saying that I need to lose 2 lbs when I know I need to lose 20 lbs.

Also, u guys think Toyota and Honda are all that when it comes to forecasting and analytics. I know someone that does that at Honda and I can tell u that it is not sophisticated.... These 2 companies are successful because of lean manufacturing, not analytics

I've only ever owned one white car. It was a 1983 Camaro Z28, and that's exactly what I liked about it, white car with lots of black accents. Mine even had a black top (aftermarket targa) that really set it off.

The only relatively current white car I would consider is the Gen3 Cadillac CTS-V Carbon Fiber edition, for the same reasons (needs black wheels though)
