Is the any explanation as to the disconnect between customer preference and the production of cars with manual and automatic transmissions? Does the red Limited manual coming down the assembly line start out with someone’s name attached to it or is it more like when you get to the donut shop and they are out of jelly donuts? But, there is a full tray of pink frosted ones that will go half off tomorrow morning.

Does anyone know if more cars are on their way to the US or is what’s out there all that’s left?

Toyota doesn’t put peoples names on cars like Subaru sorta does. They build what they build then the allocations get divvied out to dealers every 2 weeks. (Even Subaru’s process is just earmarking cars that were long planned to be built.) If and how Toyota tries to line allocations up with customer preference orders is a mystery, at least to me. I’m not sure I want to know at this point. There were 3200 cars delivered in Q1, I’d guess the same will come in Q2 and Q3 give or take a few thousand hah. Seems like factory definitely had some stumbles recently but no news of it being shuttered for more than a few days at a time. |

Newport seems to have all of their MTs reserved, and I only get calls about ATs. Good group of people to talk with on the phone though.

yeah, I by no means am saying they weren't spoken for quickly, but they're out there around here.

Got another email from my salesman about an AT with otherwise my spec on the way. I'll be curious to ask him if they're sitting on the lot or selling fairly quickly after arriving. I can imagine some people in the Denver area wanting AT for traffic.

That's the only reason I got mine as a DD. Otherwise, I wouldn't give a damn about Eyesight or any other tech stuff like that and just enjoy a manual like I do the Supra on the backroads. Shame I had to make a compromise, but it still drives like a dream (granted the Perrin 2.5" is a little droney around 2k).

I’m fine with an automatic if I could find an automatic tomorrow I’d get one my problem is the mark ups and availability. I am trying to take advantage of the used car market and end my lease early while I still have equity while trying to time out the fact that I have no idea when this car is going to be available to any of us. It’s a really sucky position to be in these markets are killing me

I think my only hesitation with getting a car out of state is the trouble California makes you go through when you bring the car into the state and watch some videos online and read some stuff that just makes it seem like it’s a nightmare a total nightmare.

Not sure what you mean. The car meets 50 state emissions so just have your paperwork ready and make an appointment before hand. It's a problem when the car does not meet 50 state emissions. You will have to pay the difference in sales tax and then use tax.
