$200K and they can't even get the correct color stock photo?

I just had to check out their website, it says they have 3 at normal price?

They're lucky there's no comments section on AutoTrader.
Spotted my first one in person at lunch, and color notwithstanding (yellow), it's even better looking in person than I expected. While I'd still prefer it had smooth bodywork over even functional vents, the fake vents aren't as bad as I expected. It's definitely small.

Edit:
I suspect they figure it doesn't cost them anything to ask that price until it actually does, at which point they'll not ask that price.

Maybe the Accounting Department is running a little behind?
Okay, not really. One dealership has to fan the flames of insanity for the rest.

Not quite - the 2003 onwards model didn't have a Celica engine.The "real" Supra is the one that couldn't be competitive on the racetrack without of its glorious 2JZ being thrown out and replaced with Celica's motor
(proof: every single A80 Supra that competed at JGTC GT500)
It had the V8 from the Lexus SC430 instead.

Yeah, I don't know what the A80's interior was like to use, but it looked like a cheap version of what (ironically) BMW was doing at the time with the driver-focused cockpit. I preferred the contemporary Celica's slightly more subtle take on that design.
Also, it's not just me that finds trying to make the current Supra more like the old one a bit weird, is it? There's a hint of photoshopping a celebrity's head onto a pornographic image about it.
The A90's interior is one of the aspects I actually think works quite well as it is. It feels more special inside than it looks in pictures, because pictures don't give you the cockpit feel you get from that car thanks to the narrow windscreen. The instrument cluster is cool too, and the seats are pretty good.

No, but that's actually a really good analogy. But then again that's just the nature of the beast of hype that Toyota has unleashed. Then again, I don't think the NSX or R35 GT-R had the same sort of swirling fervor that surrounds the A90.

Well, people are still complaining about the NSX not being naturally aspirated, having a manual 'box, or looking identical to the old one, so I don't think that really escaped. The R35's been around for so long now I can't actually remember what people thought of it at launch. There were the usual "drives like a Playstation" comments from people who'd only ever actually driven on Playstations but I think what it delivered was so far above its predecessor that it generally had a decent reception from the internet.
I think the R35 has aged incredibly well, possibly because it was so ahead of its time at launch. And it drives brilliantly. The NSX is much better than the internet gives it credit for. I'm less keen on the Supra, but then as most people should know by now, the A80 hardly had glowing reviews back in its day, so actually the A90 is probably as good as a Supra's ever been.

Is that two head units? Nice.
I always liked the MK3 Interior:
From my experience, they were pretty high quality as well. That classic Toyota durability.

The whole 1980s boxy dash thing has been growing on me over the years, and I know what you mean about that era of Toyota build quality. Unfortunately I've never really experienced any of those myself. Well, a few AE86s, but those are in that borderline zone of being 1980s Toyotas but also being effectively economy cars, so quality is competing with them being built down to a price! I bet a Supra or a Mark II from that era feels like it'll last millennia.

The only issue I see here is that EAG did it, who will likely turn around and believe their cars are suddenly worth double market value. They received some heavy backlash from the Ferrari community when they felt their 430 Scuderia was worth above top dollar market value despite being average condition, aftermarket-touched, & lost some driver aid functions, all because it was a manual swap.
