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.

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

Which One Of You Suckers Is Going To Pay Over $32,000 For A 25-Year-Old Toyota 4Runner
The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...
