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 $4,800, Is This 2004 Volvo S60R A Well-Priced Swede Indeed?
Today’s Volvo has enough miles to show it’s been enjoyed but not too many to imply that said enjoyment is all in the past. Let’s see if we can get past its price tag. Cover bands never have the same draw as the real deal, and as a result,...

At $9,250, Will This 1999 Dodge Stratus Put You On Cloud Nine?
The seller of today’s Dodge cloud car describes its condition as “mint,” which isn’t startling considering its extremely low mileage. Let’s see if this surprising survivor is worth the seller’s asking to keep around even longer. It was nearly 100 years ago that the first Volvo rolled through the...

A few months ago,. I drove ; both were incredible. In fact, I’d say it’s comfortably the best SUV on sale today. Of course, Porsche being Porsche, it hasn’t been content with the Turbo GT’s 650 horsepower, and so, according to an announcement made on Monday, it’s adding a...
