I would love to see the new Supra own 350Z's and G35's. That would make me happy

Toyotas Tundra, Sequoia, and Land Cruiser have V8s so it wont be the "only" one with a V8.....I had bad experiences with Toyotas...my 99 Camry engine broke down beyond repair this year....all Fords I had went on for over 300k miles and the engines were still good.......
That is why he emphasized CAR.
thank you

At this dealer, everyone just gets the employe discount, the same one that all Toyota employes get. And compared to what the public pays, it's monster.
Yes, but the employee discount is scaled based on how much you earn for the company, as well as how long you've worked for Toyota. The base discount for a starting salesperson isn't the same as the discount that the Fleet Manager gets (or what the technician in the back with ten yeas gets for that matter). Everyone is assigned a discount code (if I remember ight it's something like A to ZZ) and each code confers a different discount. It's not a one-size fits all.

Thats fine, cause even the base discount is still a large ammount compared to what the public has to pay. Heck, I may even be good enough once the Supra comes out to get a nice phat discount.

yeah right....u really think they're gonna charge 40,000 plus for the base model v6...please that would elminate half the market that the mustang and camaros are going to hit which would be doing just the opposite of what they're trying to do. Even if they're n/a motors, people like HKS are gonna make those cars monsters. t-88 turbo anyone?
Dude, that's what the artical says...not me

$40-$50,000 car is too expensive for me. plus it looks like just another car that's gonna attract more negative attention than it's worth. i don't need the hassle.

Buddy of mine has a 88 Supra Celica rotting on his lot. Works for Toyota and anxiously waiting for the Supra to come out. He's just counting the days til he can finally "race" me.

Not a fan of the styling. I hope it changed a lot since I've last seen it in a magazine... The rear looks like it ripped off a Honda S2000.

What ever you decied good luck, sounds like a lot for that car and the mustang is sweet so either way you won't lose. Besides maybe you 'll be able to sell the mustang if you trade it in!
