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.

Live ordnance is not something you'd typically want to have driving around, but a bargain basement exotic like today's Lotus Esprit, could easily grenade your wallet at any time. The question is, does its purchase price pull the pin? Many of you living outside the United States probably take small...

The unicorn is a mythical beast, part horse, part... I don't know, narwhal? rhino? Today's '84 Chevy Van adds to the lore, but does its price myth the mark? Yesterday's had doors that open in the way the Atlanta Braves' fans used to root for their team. And, while South...

Many equate Volvo with a rectilinear design aesthetic that affords the aerodynamics of a mid-century modern home. Today's 122S may fly in the face of that paradigm, but does it also come with a price that's grounded in reality? With the introduction of their 1949 models, the Ford Motor Company...

What's silver, has two wings and FLIES? Why, today's 260Z of course. With low miles and a pair of questionable mods, the real riddle is how much bread should someone pay for this silver Zed? My loss - your gain. That's what the seller of yesterday's claimed in his ADHD-targeted...

Are you ready to dive into the deep end of VW wackiness? Today's 1999 VW Polo Wagon SDI will make you a god among VW Vortexans, but will its price also make you the lord of poverty? Speaking of dollars, have you ever taken a good hard look at the...

On the Internet, a 404 error means a broken or dead link at that particular address. Today's Peugeot 404 is a link to the Gallic past, but will its price make you point your browser elsewhere? They say there's six degrees of Kevin Bacon, and much like that well connected...
