Fantastic car for anyone under 5'6 though. Give the 6MT a targa top and I'd try it again, but only drive when I can take the roof off.

Agreed - its worse than Camaro.
I couldn’t believe how cramped the interior was and you can’t see anything out of the side or in front. BTW im a former BRZ owner and that car is a limo in comparison.

They went through all that trouble and didn't give it a nose job?

So it looks like Portimao Blue is confirmed as the BMW equivalent to Stratosphere Blue? If that's the case, I might have to specifically request that from my dealer!

I put a deposit down with a dealer for a MT Supra at MSRP. I'll have to drive it home 20 hours, but worth it from a dealer at MSRP that friends have experience with.

20 hrs? Not worth shipping it?

I've never been to the PNW which is where the dealer that agreed to MSRP is. We're going to make a break-in road trip out of it

I'm also very much used to long drives, having done DC to Lincoln, NE multiple times in one shot (17 hours with just gas stops) in prepared Miatas towing a tire trailer for SCCA autocross nationals.

Wait, how does that work? Putting down a deposit without a build sheet?

I put down a deposit with Subaru for a '23 BRZ a few weeks ago. But we sat at his desk, picked the color, trim, and what options (I went for no additional options). As the only ones I may want are the STi aero bits, but I'm going to wait another year to see what the aftermarket comes up with. The STi stuff is EXPENSIVE.

Too bad the MT didn't come earlier, I'd have one instead of M2C.

Not like your resale isn't strong, make the change.

This dealer in particular was referred to me by a friend who's done business with them in the past. Their policy is to sell at MSRP.

I signed their regular deposit agreement with one of the check boxes as "VEHICLE SALE PRICE WILL BE MSRP AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY." No build sheet yet, but it's for a 2023 Supra with a manual transmission. I'm #2 in line at this dealer. #1 was in line before the official announcement.

Every dealer is different, I guess.

That's weird. All 3 times I've put down a deposit to order a car, we have sheet to submit to the manufacturer so we are ordering exactly what I want. Like when I ordered my '13 Mustang GT Track Pack. I ordered a base, Oxford White, with the track pack and nothing else. At that time, almost all track pack cars were higher trim levels that added a chunk of weight I didn't want.

So you just have to wait until they get an allocation that matches your color/trim/etc?

Yup, still TBD on whether they can order or swap for the exact spec I want. That said, I'm not picky on options and I don't really want one of the 500 limited edition cars, so I'll get one eventually - right now leaning towards the blue. Basically I'll have the 2nd choice on the allocations they get (after the guy in the #1 spot). Main kicker in this market is MSRP. The deposit is also refundable, so if another dealer gets one I want and will sell it MSRP, I can just do that. Chances are low on MSRP though.

I've only put a deposit on a car once before (the 2011 135i I ordered back in 2010.)

Where was it confirmed? It doesn't look like the same color to me.

I don't blame you. I'd rather the M2 anyway. The Zupra is odd looking, and I say that as a former Z3 M Coupe owner.

Toyota even referred to is as Portimao Blue on their website

Just my opinion but the red car looks like a sports car and the blue car looks just weird and cartoonish from the front like it's mimicking Domo-kun (maybe that's by design?).

Exactly. They could have done so much better with the front.

Maybe they should have asked BMW guys to help with the front? Lol🤣🤣

Well that's interesting. Toyota Canada shows Portimao, Toyota USA shows Stratosphere. Canada even names Sparkling Copper Grey. Guess that confirms the BMW colors for the 2023.

[supra93]

Has the B48 been axed in Canada?
