Toyota said they're expecting 30-40% to be manuals going forward.

2023 also gets suspension and steering updates in addition to the manual so I'm excited to see the reviews for those. So far they seem really positive but I don't think anyone has had extensive time behind the wheel yet.

Anybody here considering the Corolla GR? I'm thinking about replacing my daily Golf R with the Corolla. Will wait for the hype to die down first

I think msrp isn't out of the question if you're willing to wait. And get the non-'limited production' trims.

I think by the time I can grab one, my VW will be nearing its warranty end.

I don't think price has been mentioned yet. I imagine it'll compete with the Type R, so $40k range?

The CTR will probably have the best quality interior quality of the non-RWD “hot” segment, if not counting VW group cars. I loved driving the GR86, but the interior felt so econobox to me. So cheap and just felt too 20-year-old boy-racer. Phenomenal vehicle though! If the GR Corolla’s interior is anything like the GR86 and BRZ, it’d be super difficult for me to accept. Then again, I’m entering a cranky old-man phase!

Supra with a manual? Tasty option. Cayman might be better money spent, but the cayman is quite clinical in feel. It’s extremely capable, but lacking a sense of humor about itself that the Supra seems to have a bit more (much like the manual M2, which is an absolute personality-and-a-half).

I like the Corolla or at least the idea of it. But it might be just a bit too expensive. I want something small that’s no frills like a Fiat 500 Abarth again. Something light, no screens, analog dials. All that tech weighs a lot.

So I have car ADD and decided to look into prices for the GR. One dealer in Davis,CA told me $9995 and then said “some dealers are asking for 17k”

Bunch of clowns 🤡. STEALERships. So glad I got my M2C for UNDER MSRP!

I would think there are some steep discounts on the Supra since they're not selling well. I checked out cars.com and there are some advertised at $2K off MSRP, I'm assuming you can get more if you haggle. Then again at the top of the list there's ADMs too so who knows.

It's not that the Supra is not selling well. It's because it takes far too long for Toyota to deliver the Supra. At the end, you can only sell as many as you can supply!

I have been waiting for a while for my Supra 6MT and it's not even in production yet.

The A91 MT isn’t selling or causing a whirlwind in the market as was expected. Examples with <500 miles on auction platforms have failed to meet reserve prices at or slightly above MSRP. The ADM tactics of dealers are backfiring as well. The Supra just isn’t that special. Great car. I’ve gotten street and track seat time in it. However, it is not a cult classic or special vehicle that warrants significant ADM or speculation. Many cars these days are posited to be “special” and to create their own demand surges, but it’s not sustainable or real. Bubbles are forming around GR Corolla, Special Edition GR86, A91, 8Y RS3, and countless others.
