I'm a hard-core car guy so obviously I watch a lot of car stuff. I also watch reviews that are more into details. But I like that you guys are doing your style car videos. A break from the norm. I would have a hard time buying this too with markup but can appreciate what it is for sure.

@MrBetaKiller100 3 ай бұрын

Now they are becoming more readily available at MSRP, at least in my area. Blue Flame circuits seem to be a bit more rare and I am picking mine up this weekend with a small markup (~2k) but I''ve been waiting since the car was announced to get one so I'm more than happy with that. Core's and Premiums in my area seem to listed with little to no markup though, and those with markups seem to not be selling.

Markets are flooded with empty money that people didn't earn. At catalogue retail price the demand is higher than the supply, so the price increases. If prices are law restricted, you end up with no cars to buy at all, 2 year queues or full package variants only available. There's no way around the market laws, which is what we all should already know after the pandemic period.

GR is kinda weird, though. Toyota should have kept the *TRD* branding for ALL their performance cars (think TRD Celica, the TRD rallying Corollas, or the JGTC Supra era) since it has so much more history and weight, instead of creating this weird new brand and locking TRD to their pavement princess trucks…

I'd say that if you are talking about them going way over MSRP i can't agree. I do agree that it's both a bad thing and extremely damaging to both brands and consumers.

Now if you're talking switching orders, forcing products, etc i 100% agree.

my first car was a 3-cylinder Hyundai Getz, a small and quirky car that was quicker than it looked and the roar it made when you really stepped on it, was so much fun! I've had multiple cars since then and my latest, is actually a return to what I have missed. A Hyundai i20 N-line, the Getz's replacement, with rally inspiration. It has 100hp on 3-cylinders and a roar like no freaking other, it is just a ton of fun and I can heartily recommend it! (and if you have the money, go for the i20 N instead, for the 200hp model and even more fun) I have driven faster and "smarter"/"cooler" looking cars, but they honestly weren't anywhere near as much fun in daily driving. My i20 N-line is fun at all speeds, whether it be 50 or 150kmph+.

Okay, you know what it's plenty to choose from yet, but honestly I think that aside from maybe the Toyotas, some Porsches and the Miata, these won't be around as manuals for long. Toyota is actually working on inventing a sort of fake manual for their future EVs (which I'm not really a fan of tbh), but you bet that companies that aren't that traditionalist, like BMW or VW will ditch the manual and act like it never existed the moment they deem it unnecessary. In fact it's a miracle they still offer it since it's such an extremely tiny segment of the market.
