I think the B48 Supra just doesn’t make sense here. Too expensive, and not good value for money compared to the other sportscars you can buy here. Heck, you can get into a nice hot hatch like an i30 N with 275HP for $40k... and the 4 pot Supra only has 255HP? Wtf? That engine is ridiculously detuned. Obviously more power is just a tune away, but I’m not keen on blowing my warranty straight away to extract the power (at least 300HP) the B48 should have from factory. Sad to say, IMO the 4 cylinder Supra makes no sense here. There are no tax incentives to have the smaller engine, and Aussies are prepared to buy cheap fun cars like the 86, or expensive high performance cars like the B58 Supra, but they don’t like expensive mediocre performance cars like the B48 version. |

Combine that with the coronavirus situation. I see way more negatives with Supra , and not enough positives. If I won a unit, I'd probably register it... drive it for 1-2 months , then sell it. The value /price doesn't make sense to me.
