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 $13,400, Is This Mustang A Maybe-Stang?
For $13,400, Is This Mustang A Maybe-Stang?
Do you remember the round-cornered scissors you were given in kindergarden, the ones that would snip but couldn't stab? Well, while today's custom Mustang has been similarly blunted, it'll be up to you to determine if its price manages to make the cut. Daaaaamn, haters, you're not giving anything a...

For $1,850, You Dirty Rat
For $1,850, You Dirty Rat
In home décor parlance, furnishings that are supposed to look kind of ratty are called distressed, while when the same is done to something that has four wheels and flies, it's called a Rat. Today's Chevy S10 has been majorly ratted out, but will you think its price is too...

For $7,400, IX Marks The Spot
Today's BMW E30 spins all its wheels all the time, but will its price also leave you reeling? When priced under two grand, a running NPOCP contender usually gets a hearty thumbs up for low cost mobility and why the hell not-ness. That's not however what transpired with yesterday's reintarnation...

Forza Horizon Is The First Car Culture Racing Game
The console racing sim, as we know it, is rapidly approaching its natural limit. You can add more cars, different tracks, and continue to improve tire physics, but those wanting to virtually experience a race are likely to find a better chance at realism using rFactor, iRacing or any number...

2013 McLaren 12C Spider: The Jalopnik Review
2013 McLaren 12C Spider: The Jalopnik Review
McLaren was predestined to build a version of its MP4-12C for the pate-tanning set. But is the new Spider as that shares its nerdy alphanumer-name, or is it — like most other convertibles — a tragedy of compromise? Let's head to Spain and find out. Torsional rigidity. Have a little...

2012 BMW 335i: The Jalopnik Review
Ever since the dawn of luxury sport sedan time, the BMW 3-series has been your honors student cousin at the family Thanksgiving dinner. Audi, Mercedes, and, most recently, Cadillac have all tried to beat the 3-series at its own game, but in one way or the other, they have always...
