The is a . A , in fact, with some of the best styling and engine sounds on the market today. Yet, according to , none of you have actually gone out and bought one. This is a travesty, and I won’t stand for it.

Toyota sold just 2,652 Supras in 2023, down from 4,952 in 2022. That’s a 46-percent drop, and it’s a crime. The Supra is fantastic little car, and you’re all ignoring it. For what? What else are you buying?

A new three-liter Supra will run you near as makes no difference $60,000, in automatic or manual trim. Are you buying instead? Audi S5 Coupes? I know you’re not stretching to hit the BMW M2, but are you buying — god help me — instead? (Probably not, as Nissan only sold 1,771 Zs in 2023.)

I’m not mad, really. I just want to understand your mindset here. You saw a car that looked like a spaceship and sounded like a banshee scream, and yelled at it for not having a manual transmission. , despite the low take rate, and you’re still not buying. Will it never be good enough for you? I’d love to own one, if it didn’t cost approximately my annual salary to get.

Oh. That’s it, isn’t it. That’s why every single Jalop hasn’t already purchased a Supra: The whole near-as-makes-no-difference $60,000 of it all. Well, okay, I can’t blame you for staring at Autotrader and waiting for these cars to start tanking in price. But for those of you who actually have the cash, can you pick up a few more Supras this year? The rest of us need you to flood the used market in a few years.

For $6,000, Could This 1975 Olds Delta 88 Convertible Be A Royale Without Cheese?
Dinosaurs like today’s e Olds 88 once ruled the earth, or at least the North American continent. Today, they’re all extinct, but relics like this drop-top still turn up from time to time. Let’s see if you’d be digging this one’s price. My mother, wonderful woman that she was, once...

Chasing Canada's Greasiest People's Food In A $200,000 Aston Martin
Say you just bought and you’re suddenly a little hungry. What do you do? Do you need to spend what’s left of your budget eating at the finest, fanciest restaurants around, or can you slum it eating deliciously greasy french fries coated in gravy and cheese? I’m in favor of...

For $9,995, Could This 1980 Toyota Celica GT Be The Grand Prize?
For $9,995, Could This 1980 Toyota Celica GT Be The Grand Prize?
Today’s Celica is a rare USGP edition, and a car that apparently has had its entire service history documented in detail. It’s in great shape too, but will its price prove to be one record not worth chronicling? You can always tell when a brand is it trouble when they...

The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Is Sterile But Has A Third Row Because You Aren't
The all-new is an attractive, spacious crossover, compact in name only, with a wide range of options and, thankfully, at least one fun color choice. That’s pretty much where the car’s personality ends, but I still found a lot to like about this thing. It’s here to address a lot...

Jeff’s marriage didn’t work out as planned, and now it’s just him and his dog. They want to hit the road with the pup for some adventure. The problem is that his Mini isn’t really big enough for the both of them. What car should he buy? (Welcome back to...

For $3,795, Do You Think This 1993 Olds Cutlass Supreme Convertible Will Cut Like A Knife?
For $3,795, Do You Think This 1993 Olds Cutlass Supreme Convertible Will Cut Like A Knife?
The Olds Cutlass was once America’s #1 selling car. Today’s edition hails from well past those glory days, but maybe this droptop’s price will prove just as glorious. When considered by the pound or square inch, yesterday’s proved to appear almost economical. That factor, along with what I think is...
