FYI that green color is from the 2020 TRD Pro line:

A big part of the reason why the Supra costs / performs how it does is because Toyota had a gap between the GT86 and the Lexus RC-F. The Supra wasn’t designed to be the best car Toyota (BMW) can build, but to fit that gap. That way, it doesn’t steal sales from either the GT86 or the RC-F.

My concern is that Toyota will further reduce their reliability reputation by letting Alfa Romeo build the MR2 based on an aluminum version of the 4C.

Here you go:

You are suggesting that additional revenue guarantees that stock price moves higher.

People are betting overall that Tesla will continue to grow by huge leaps.

I live in Denver (6000 ft) so I’m giving up a bit of horsepower to the elevation gods.

Let me suggest a used (‘14-15 are the best years) Lexus GS350. 8-speed automatic, non-flashy infotainment, dead-nuts reliable, quiet, comfortable. The one I bought a year ago had 22K miles and was half of new MSRP ($26K).

-10 years ago was the last time to find an S2000

Appreciating asset versus depreciating was my point. Pay it off, use it to upgrade.

Mostly because I wanted a NEW car with a NEW car warranty.

However, S2ks do seem to spin fairly regularly at autoxes, but I can’t recall that happening to a Miata.

I expect Model 3 sales to tank, even with the Y being a bit more expensive.

I have a Model 3, I will be trading it in for a Model Y once they’ve been out for ~6-9 months (i.e. worked out the bugs). If they were both available when I bought my 3, I’d have the Y now. So yeah, there will be cannibalizing.

I know that Tesla is stupidly over-valued right now. I know this.

Look, $28K is $28K. New, used, it makes no difference.

Honestly, what other car in the mid $20k price range provides the performance and feel of a Miata?

A Japanese-built straight-six sportscar? When has that ever worked?

That doesn’t absolve Ford of intentionally selling a fundamentally defective transmission to the public for years. People lost money on these things and expect to be compensated for it.
