Exactly. An $80-85k Supra? Sorry, I'm buying a Cayman S at that price point.

I'm pretty sure the largest automaker in the world understands what they are doing.

This is starting to sound like Jalopnik or GRM. "Why can't I have an AWD, manual wagon, makes 500hp, never needs maintenance for 300k miles, and only costs $20k new."
