In case you may not be aware, Toyota brought back the Supra. It’s a good and fast car, with mostly BMW parts under the skin. IBut is anyone actually buying them?

On Jalopnik’s slack channel the staff was having a discussion as to how none of us have seen a brand new Supra on our local roadways. A few of us have spotted the Supra’s mechanical twin, the BMW Z4, but for some reason, Toyota isn’t getting the love.

According to Autotrader.com, there are over 650, new 2020 Toyota Supras currently listed for sale. So we certainly can’t blame a lack of inventory. While some of them have the expected bonkers dealer markupsasking upwards of $200,000 or more, there are a few cars advertised below MSRP.

As a professional car shopper, when a new hot ride hits the showroom, I often get asked to help source one. I got plenty of requests for the Focus RS, Civic Type R, Hellcats/Demons, and other in-demand sporty cars. Yet, I can’t remember getting a request for a Supra. In fact, the most requested Toyota that comes into my inbox is for a RAV4 Hybrid.

I get the feeling that despite the name, a lot of performance-oriented buyers just aren’t that jazzed about a $50,000+ Supra that they see as essentially a rebadged BMW. While that may not be a fair assessment of the car, my prediction is that perspective probably means a lot of these units will sit for a while and people will eventually snatch them up once some more aggressive deals are on the hood.

At $6,000, Is This 1985 Volvo 240 Wagon A Holy Grail Deal?
We all know that the only things to be left after the apocalypse will be roaches and cars like today’s Volvo. Let’s see if this one is presently priced to weather both the world’s end and our voting. Audi loves its nomenclature. The company has a number of vehicles...

At $12,500, Is This 2005 Audi A6 Avant Allroad A Scary Good Deal?
Today’s A6 Avant is an Allroad, a model derided by some as being one of the flakiest models Audi has ever offered. It still has its defenders, and this particular one looks extra nice. Let’s see if there’s any defending its price. A common insult in politics right now...

At $33,400, Is This 2006 Chevy SSR A Ridiculous Deal?
At $33,400, Is This 2006 Chevy SSR A Ridiculous Deal?
While its lines are retro, there’s nothing old-fashioned about the drivetrain or fancy folding top on today’s SSR. Let’s decide if this audacious albeit oddball truck has an equally crazy price. If you’re anything like me, then your vision of yesterday’s revolved around fixing its flaws and then seeking...

There are plenty of cults in the world to join, but one of the more fun ones is the VW Van fan club. Today’s Vanagon is a ticket to entry. Let’s see if its price is something you wouldn’t have to be too crazy to pay. I’m going to...

The Land Rover Defender 110 V8 Is Fantastic, Actually
The Land Rover Defender 110 V8 Is Fantastic, Actually
Some people were kind of salty about Land Rover reimagining the Defender a few years ago. They were mad that it was bigger and more modern and had features like independent suspension and infotainment. They lamented the new car’s complexity, and while on some level, I get that ,...

If You're Going To Try To Flip A Car, Maybe Don't Try A Chrysler
Flippers were a scourge of the auto market during the thick of the pandemic. Many were people with more money than a care in the world buying up in-demand and then flipping them for profit to buyers who had more money than sense. Fortunately for the rest of us,...
