- A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician reviews the 2022 Toyota Supra to see if it lives up to the previous Supra models.
So Should you buy a 2022 Toyota Supra? Many view the new Supra as nothing but a BMW disguised in a Toyota and while that can be true, this generation Supra truly has a lot to deliver.
Here's the link to the Original Supra Technical Review Video :
• New Toyota Supra Techn...
And while it's a fun and exciting car, it doesn't come without flaws. In this video we will take a look at the 2022 Toyota Supra. Starting with the exterior looking at some of It's interesting body features.
Then we'll move to the interior of the Toyota Supra which keeps things simple and focused on the driver with some interesting twists.
We also take the Supra for a Test Drive where it truly shines, This is a driver's car and the test drive is very important.
Then we look at some things that are not so good with the Toyota Supra.
Lastly I will give you an update on reliability of the Toyota Supra. Many worry about tit being a BMW but so far so good.

I picked mine up just over a week ago. Best car I've ever driven. I keep finding excuses to go out for a drive. Sporty, fast, aggressive and feels like you're really in a supercar. Absolutely LOVE it
Did you have to pay the mark up price? I went over the weekend decided to get one, but one dealer offered at 20k and the second 10k above msrp. no way!! I walk away. imagine paying 75k in Los Angeles area.
@@jc-plotplan1151 I paid sticker price here in Australia. no mark up, dealerships would go out of business if they did that here.
@@Anthony-ji6ln I live in aus too, been looking at these for a while.
My area has them at $110k new though
@@GanodermicGamer you gotta get one, they are awesome!!!!!
@@jc-plotplan1151 That’s CA for you. Crooks all over the place.
I think the reason why Toyota is coming with a manual is because of the high demand for a manual from the car community and also to compete with their rival the new Nissan Z.
Also heard some owners having oil issues?
@@Sarcastic_Asmodeus I believe amd did address that burning oil issue as well in this video.
Friend just put down a deposit on a manual Supra...there's a waiting list
I think they were always gonna bring it out they just needed the Toyota to not be a flop
The Z isn’t even a factor. The price has been announced in Japan and for the proto it’s 55k. 😂. The Z is DOA
Great review, AMD! We breathed a sigh of relief when you talked about reliability. And she's definitely a looker!
❤❤❤
I sure enjoy your reviews of these vehicle, which I have no interest or would buy. But your video is so educational and informative, I watch them all just the same. Always looking forward to your next video and the shop progress. Keep up the good work and THANKS FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS IN THESE VIDEOS.
Wow, finally an unbiased and honest review of the Supra. I’ve had my '21' for a year now as a weekend car but could easily drive it everyday. Sports cars are never perfect cars, there will always be compromises. They are not made to be big and luxurious and hold 2 weeks of luggage. Its the perfect size for me. I’m older and it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. I can get an honest 35 mpg on the freeway, then drive like a bat out of hell. As you pointed out, this car would never exist had there not been a collaboration. The BMW engine is epic. At only 5000 units per year there will always be limited money in development to have everything you want, it just doesn’t make sense from a business aspect. That being said, I cringe every time I think of the Committee that approved 9 fake vents on a sports car, that at least half could have easily been functional, when some everyday cars have real ones. And we’re 4 model years into it, and they haven’t addressed the wind buffeting, ugly steering wheel that should be flat bottomed and thicker, the way too dim infotainment screen, the outdated infotainment, and maybe change the shifter knob to a real sports car look. How about updating the front and rear ends? If they want to compete with the new Z they have to do better. That being said, I love it, there is nothing on the market right now in this price range that I’d rather have. But the new Z has me wondering….
Excellent review. Camera work was well done. I am glad you added the overall review as well as the nuts and bolts side.
I have a 2022 - 3.0 premium (with red interior - Turbulence gray) and love it. The air buffering Is my my bigges concern. Above 40-50mph, you can't drive with window down. Ohh. And my iPhone fly out from the wireless charger every by single accelaration :D
I had a BMW Z4 coupe e86 before. So I have no problem with the 99% BMW part. (and laughing at the JDM funboys, who never even owned a Supra, or any good car)
This is a good car, that's the only thing matters. F the rest...
Does your red interior also have mismatched door panels?
AMD, After joint ventures with Subaru and BMW, I suspect that many, many Toyota sports car fans are breathing a sigh of relief that the genuine Toyota GR Corolla is on the way to this market. Hopefully there will be more 'in-house' performance models coming in the future. As far as reliability is concerned, let's give the Supra another few years before we reach a final conclusion. 😁
Atleat the 86 is actually 50 toyota 50 Subaru. Toyota transmissions, Toyota fuel ejection system, then the 86 has a lot more Toyota tuning thay the brz doesn't have and lacks
Immature/Ghetto people will wreck the 2023 GR Corolla the day got it in the Fall 2022. It will be only 6500 will be produces. I will preorder it in August.
@@imports4lifetoyotalexus98 What????? What do you mean by ghetto?????? If it's what I think you're referring too you have the wrong channel. Everything I see and hear from AMD is respect and love. I think we need to keep that same vibe...
The good news is the b58 has been around since 2015. It's apparently one of the better bmw engines that has been made in production numbers. It's also been picked apart by Toyota to find any flaws they could. I have faith it's a great i6.
@@Mrpancake72 this. People don’t know that Toyota engineers took apart this B58 and ran their battery of tests on many of its parts. A BMW engine with Toyota’s reliability blessing? Yes please.
Just picked up a 22 Supra. Spectacular car. Very pleased. Those radio presets are there for a reason it turns out. You can use them to save shortcuts for the settings menu.
AMD. Greetings again from the UK. Just to say that I have only just watched the video because it is you doing it and i love your videos and your honesty, integrity and expert engineering knowledge . At my age of 58 sporty does not interest me and even if I could afford the Supra which I cannot it would be too loud and too hard for me in terms of the ride quality. I fully acknowledge that the Supra has its place as a track car and play thing rather than a daily driver. I am very much looking forward to more reviews and updates regarding progress with the shop / your new business. The Lord Bless you and keep you and your family.
Another great video. I couldn't agree with you more. The wife took my 21 LC Heritage as her daily, so I get to drive her 21 Supra 3.0 a lot more now. Life is good.
In a BMW the big old school 'radio preset' keys can be programmed to just about anything. It will be like that in the Supra as well. For instance you can program a key for a radio station but also to start the navigation system to navigate back home. Can also be used for all kind of vehicle settings and more.
Ty mate enjoyed seeing the 2022 Supra, very lovely looking car and seems to be one that you would enjoy so much on a beautiful sunny day. Keep Safe Keep Strong Mate🦘🦘🚗🚗
AMD, thanks for this video. Very informational! Can't wait for you to get hands on an LC500!
You are an inspiration Sir.. Loved your life story... And the 300dolllar ML320 was entertaining. Blessings all round on you and yours...
Thanks for this, so much info been waiting for you to do another one of these from you for GR Supra. Some stuff I did not even know before like Sport turning off Safety and I have watched many a video on GR Supra and test driven one. Going to get one after owning my GT86 2017 a bit longer.
Everything you said is correct on the A90 Supra and why I bought one is the 9 year old kid / car guy 👦 inside me feels when driving the Supra gives you smile on your face and yes I agree it's
" epic !!! " Great 👍 review.
Thanks for the review AMD! When can we expect to hear details on the oil consumption for early 2021 models? I keep hearing rumors of piston ring replacement, but that sounds fairly involved compared to what you described? Thanks!
Thank you for the news
Love your work 👍
Nicely put together Amd.
Excellent review man. Twice now I’ve rented the same 3.0 Supra on Turo and it’s exactly like you said. I can’t help but smile and find excuses to go driving this car. Went way over the mileage limit for my reservation but I didn’t give af.
Love the Video', I went and bought the 3.0 GR premium, great car love it.
Thanks for all your content. I found your channel doing research on cars and just bought my first Toyota product yesterday, a 2007 ES 350. I will probably be referring to your videos for alot with this car.
Congratulations Matthew. On your motor the 2grfe, If your vvti line has the rubber hose, replace it immediately with an all metal one. I had mine replaced at the dealership for my Avalon
@@samukahtviv1 I have not had a chance to verify I have an all metal line, but I do see in the service history that the line was replaced by lexus in 2010. Would the replacement line they used be sufficient?
@@matthewtwright84 nah I would replace it with all metal to be safe.. my vehicle has the same 2010 service history. I had the rubber piece replacement on my old line and it had the yellow line/mark on it. If yours got that, I would change it. The part is not expensive and it’s worth it. I would hate for you to lose your beautiful ride for just one small defect.
@@matthewtwright84 I’m sorry for late reply. I did sent you a long paragraph three days ago but it disappeared off this. So idk?
@@matthewtwright84 and don’t buy the excuse from the dealer when they tell you that the new improved all metal oil line doesn’t fit your vehicle. That’s a lie. The replacement fits all 2GRFE motors..All 2GRFE made in 2010+ following up had the new oil line. Prior to 2010,Some lexus came out the factory with the metal line while a few Toyotas came with the rubber. Cars ain’t cheap nowadays , it’s worth the small investment. Once I had it replaced I stopped checking every week to see if it had burst open LOL peace of mind bro.
check out this gentleman’s TH-cam video about it. He knows more about the 2grfe.
th-cam.com/video/yXZgmuwwU28/w-d-xo.html
Great review man well done.cheers.
Awesome video. Huge fan. Have a manual 2024 on order
Hey bruh TCCN I thought you were an engineer...and now you look to be the best sellsman Toyota Cie would only dream of 😎😎. You're the best at whatever you do. May the wind always blows in your back🌟🌟🌟
This was a fun watch!
I absolutely love your videos. I’ve been watching you for a few months. I bought a Toyota Corolla XLE and I want to take great care of it. I thank you for all your advice. So when are you going to sell some shirts. I would love to dress up in a car care nut shirt when I’m putting oil in my car.
Hope you enjoyed driving the Supra for a week. I agree, having a Supra in the line up is better than not having one. Definitely not for the Camrolla crowd, who aren't enthusiasts per se. But yeah, I think I would be fine with a GR86 as GR Corollas are going to be unobtanium for most buyers.
Always good to see a review from you. Now lets hope Toyota has the combi with the BMW
I would buy a mustang 4 cylinder ecoboost over a bmw sports car
That transmission shifts PERFECT! That what you want, crisp and quick shifts. Can you get it to chirp between gears? Love the powertrain, but I'm not crazy about the styling.
It doesn’t chirp between shifts it looses traction if you really push it
Great video!
Great video man!!! 🤙🏻😃
Definitely a work of art! My only "sports" car I've ever had was a Nissan 280ZX but it just wasn't me 😞
Nice review
Hope you will do a similar review of the much awaited 400Z once its released ! It does look very interesting indeed.
Fascinating car…now if I could only fit in the car…lol. Really great information here.
I’ve had my ‘22 for about 4 months now, decided to get 305 Michelin pro sport 4s wheels in the rear and got a catless downpipe. It sounds absolutely insane even on stock exhaust and you can hear the turbo very well and it’s super loud. It’s such an amazing car and I don’t think I’ve had a week where I haven’t gotten at least a few compliments on it.
Thank you Ahmed. Would love a similar one for the GT86/GR86
Great review as usual. But now you've got to do a review of the Toyota GR86. It is a more attainable vehicle than the Supra.
Also, when reviewing the seats please let us know how tall you are. That will help compare with other people's bodies. Thanks.
Keep up the good work.
One good thing is you and I agree on the LC 500, I own one and had many high performance cars and this is my baby , never sell her ! 2022 full load, thank you
Hello. Love the channel! Can you review the 2022 GR86? I just bought one 2 weeks ago.
I gave my son my BMW 325es with the straight 6. Like you said, great engine.
I’m glad that Toyota came back with the manual version too! Just when manual transmission’s are disappearing! Toyota is offering it on the Supra.👌😎👍definitely one beautiful sports car! And that beautiful sound!👌🥰👉♥️great review!
Been seeing more used Supras for sale online ever since Toyota announced a manual and GR Corolla versions. Almost tempted to buy one but with Nissan already testing a Nismo version their Z, think I will wait.
nothing beats my 1990 supra turbo with the t1 turbo. That was an awesome car. I had three supras.
Damn who????
The different engine sounds based on Sport mode or other modes are at least in part piped-in (through the audio system) sound. At least I think so (piping engine sound into the cabin is very common in plenty of other cars.)
True
What a great review. I have owned three MK3 Supras myself and I agree, that is my favorite generation. I miss those cars. I wish Toyota would add the classic Supra Targa Top back in the new Supra's. Maybe they will. AMD, you are truly the best!!
I had a 1988 MK3 turbo 5spd from 1990 to 2000, loved that car! Lost the head gasket at about 160k miles (overheated pretty badly). I was still on the original clutch even! (throw out bearing was getting noisy). Was a very reliable car, only issues I ever really had was starter replacement (what a bitch it is to do one), and clutch master cylinder. That was mostly my only failures until I lost the engine (that was mostly my fault, should had done the head gasket/studs upgrade at 90 or 100k... Replaced it in 2000 with a '99 Camry which I am still driving now at 335k miles, runs and drives perfect, only have done normal preventative maintenance items mostly! No major or odd failures, a few suspension / front end parts due to the high miles, 3 radiators, both cooling fan motors 3 or 4 valve cover gasket replacements, overhauled the throttle body / IAC, 2x all done myself in my driveway, very easy car to work on... I would never own a BMW product or design, or almost any European car really (besides maybe a old 126 chassis Mercedes tank, especially if it has the straight 6 gas, over the V8)... But I would really like to have another MK3 turbo stick, especially if it has a MK4 engine swap done well in it...
We hope one day you can review the lotus Evita gt 2021 🤷🏼♂️
Beautiful car! I want one in this same exact spec. One reviewer felt it was the best sports car available for under $60K.
It is.
Just ordered mine!
I like the car and I am planning to purchase the 6mt at the end of its production cycle. It’s a German product but not a bad one. I don’t want to miss out on the last ICE supra. It’s also quite the performer for the price.
I just got a 23 3.0 premium auto. I love it. I put groceries in the back and drive it to work everyday 😅 Plan to drive it all year around. I love me some tough sledding
Regarding the “Radio Presets.”
That’s not just a radio preset, that’s everything preset. You can create shortcuts to any menus. Like set tire pressure display as preset 3, or rear view camera as preset 4, or audio tune settings in preset 5, or device select for wirless car play on preset 6, along with radio preset.
You can see why they made it so big, it’s crazy powerful.
Great review. Looking forward to a GR86 one.
It has come out and man was I happy to have seen it.
There are more views on that video as well. Is soo popular that you can't buy one.
Does the 2022 Supra engine have any changes to correct the prior year oil consumption issue?
I love that wrap around hood.
Great video. Thanks. First comment
What is the simple fix that remedies the oil consumption issue on early 2021's?
I have the 2.0 I love it but my main problems are system and convenience complaints
1) not enough space interior like door panels and middle console space
2) wind buffeting still an old complaint but still present I'm the most recent model
3) only has apple car play I have an android so it hinders the car for me
4) hatch doesn't open all the times with the door button sometimes I have to press it multiple times
5) trunk buttons are only on key and on door kinda wack if you ask me
Issues I've had right now I have about 2 major system issues
1) reving the car got stuck at mid rpm and didn't wanna climb down , shift gears or change to park if I'd press the gas the rpms would climb and keep on climbing and not go lower it only happen to me once so far
2) ac would show it was on and working but didn't blow air or anything not even hot air even if I'd turn off the car and turn it back on. it started working after about 7-10mins mind you I got it in June of last year and i just hit 10,000 miles
I'm an O.G Supra enthusiast and own a Mk3 Supra with a 2jzgte swapped with the T-56 transmission. With a little over 1,000+ HP. It's truly a handful but super fun. BMW/Supra is definitely a quick car and fun from what I hear.🌟💯🏁🏁🏁
Thank you for a great insight into this car. I was going to pick that red interior but the half door trim is really a turn off. Black on black it is then… great work.
Hello AMD. As per your advice for coolant replacement on my Corolla, I found the drain on the driver side as you said. When I measured the amount that came out, only about 3.5 quarts of the 6.9 actually drained out. Is that good enough for the replacement? If not what should I do, since I don't want to open a can of worms removing things.
In a side note I am impressed with how Toyota brilliantly designed the radiator drain and made a hole through the front core support as well as in the splash shield for easy drainage
More than enough. If you want you can do it again every month for 2 months. The solution is dilution
@@robertmontgomery7158 agreed. It's like with an automatic transmission drain and refill. You never get it all out
Totally agree. It is a great, simple and safe way to refresh fluids.
Hi! That is enough. You’ll never be able to drain the whole capacity short of taking the engine apart
You can put a small vortex generator to stop buffeting . Many use small door guard plastic tab
I owned a 2020 Supra. The hud would toggle on and off randomly on it's own even though the settings still showed it was off, the alarm would go off continuously if the key fob battery was low, and at approximately 19,000 miles the driver side door controls stopped working. The mirrors would not unfold and you couldn't roll up or down the windows. These issues, plus a few others, happened more than once. Three different Toyota dealerships could not verify the issue even though I had video, or would tell me everything worked even though I would drive away from the dealership with the problems still an issue. It was a great car mechanically that was plagued by BMW problems. The car is worth it if the issues were fixed.
😧😳
You had a lemon car !
I own a 89' MK3 Manual Turbo Targa White package
can you please do a video on the rav4 hybrid 2022
I thought this channel was dedicated to dealing with toyota vehicles only lol. Nice to see some diversity in the reviews. That BMW is nice but it's no GR Corolla that's for sure lol.
I think they offer the turbo 4 because in some countries you pay very high taxes for engines greater than 2 liters. I think Japan is one of those countries.
My supra 2022 3.0 base doesn't have apple carplay. Is it possible to purchase
it from the dealer service department now?
;ove all your videos how can i sk you a question about my neew 2021 toyota rv 4 xle problem thanks
@Amd @The Car Care Nut, if you would to buy one with your own money, should owners be going to Toyota or BMW for major services?
26:36 When the Supera was being developed, Toyota sent some 200,000+ engineering changes back to BMW as they did not meet Toyota's durability and reliability requirements. It really ticked BMW off and they'll likely never collaborate again. The BMW Z4 would be the only BMW I would ever consider buying thanks to Toyota!
BMW should be ticked off that their cars are trash.
Proof?
@@Oo-IIII-oO I’m curious about the source of this too.
@@BenKempa Me too.
I’ll believe it when you post a link to your proof
I can see the value of the 4-cylinder version. The B58 is a great engine, but the B48 is most likely to be more affordable to service and might be more reliable overall long-term.
Great thorough review AMD !
This is what I’m debating when I retire in 5 years (end of 2026). It will be my 2nd car since I have a 2002 ES300 with “only” 168k miles and I plan on keeping it for 10+ years.
In the spring of 2027 I’ll need to make a decision on either a one owner well Maintained Supra 3.0 Premium or a 2015-17 Lexus RCF or a 2019-20 Lexus RC 350 F-Sport RWD. I won’t be tracking either one, which makes me want to lean towards the 350 FSport RWD.
Yes the RC 350 FSport RWD isn’t in the same category as the RCF and the Supra but Lexus IS the KING of reliability and I don’t really need all the power of the RCF nor the 3.0 premium
Now hearing of the battery issues and the parking brake release issue and now more reasons of doubt. BMW’s over 5
Years old and/or 50k miles are empty money pits. Maybe too soon to say if these Supras will also be empty $ pits but By the time I’m ready in 5 years I’ll have found out for sure
I am considering a Lexus LC500H as my commuter while I am still working for maybe 10 years and a Porsche 911 when I retire.
Hi! The LC500 might fit the bill for you. Review coming up in the next month or so
@@TheCarCareNut nice. I am more interested in the LC500 hybrid. But a review on the
LC500 V8 will be great too.
Which sounds better, in your opinion this or the LC500 ?
Awesome video. I have a 2022 Supra. Question while in automatic mode when I put the car in drive to the right of the D is a number D1, then while acceleration D2,D3,D4 etc. Is that normal that in automatic mode the gears are displayed next to the D ( drive symbol), D1, D2, D3 etc. It'd driving me crazy thinking something is wrong with my car? PLEASE REPLY, PLEASE. much thanks.
Dealership question?
God bless AMD… I’m still wondering why Toyota couldn’t build a genuine Supra like it did years ago it’s done the same with the GR86 with Subaru…. all I know is I love my ‘20 tundra limited as is all Toyota!!! Great videos love ur channel
But will these go 200k miles without much fuss?
Hey AMD, it is true to perform just an oil change on the supra you have to be certified on the dealer?
Hi! Not really but they usually other techs don’t like to work on them because they’re completely different
Nice vehicle for "track type driving," but like you said it's not made for long distance driving. Also, I wouldn't even try to drive it on a snowy day or even the next two weeks after that! It's not made for that!
I don't hate the car, probably if I drove one, I'd want to buy it "Right Now!"
Anyway, thank you for the in depth explanation. Hopefully this car will last many good years and not have the Euro curse of high maintenance problems!
Toyota and BMW still haven't addressed the throttle hesitation issues on their cars (Supra and Z4). It's a serious safety concern, a few people on the forum complained of situations where they went to pull out into traffic and the throttle pedal was unresponsive for about 3sec, or the car just outright stalled.
Same problem on my 2017 Lexus ES 350; solved in my 2019 Lexus ES 300h Hybrid.
Is hybrid the difference?? If so, nothing but hybrids here on out for me. EV not an option, too much baggage.
I've experience this multiple times with the Supra. The throttle response delay comes at very inconvenient times and it happens at random. I've seen some fixes for this but the fixes make the accelerator way too sensitive especially if your running bolt on +Tune.
Wait do you mean when you are accelerating from fully stopped or? Are you maybe experiencing turbo lag? Have you tried downshifting when you need immediate torque?
@@robbyskyline Quoted from the forum:
"Every morning I slowly back out of my garage (there is like a 5% grade) in reverse and sometimes I lose throttle response. As if there is a huge lag or something like that. If I step on it the rpm will go up but the car won't move couple secs and will then jump. It almost feels like the engine is going to stall when the lag is there. And today is the first time it actually stalled. I've started it again, drove to the first traffic light on my way and the throttle had that weird 2-3 seconds lag again."
@@GT-RTData9 😳
For the hood vent, its actually not functional at all even if you remove it because the steel inside the hood and fender blocks all airflow. Taking out the plastic vent wont do anything and you cant fit anything either.
Good day. I tried to get transport but couldn’t find one I could trust. I have a new hybrid Toyota (4 miles) that I have to drive 900 miles from the south to north. I can break it up in two days. What should I do and not do to break the engine in. It’s a hybrid brand new. Thanks for that NX review. Run flats and tire pressure great points I didn’t notice on my own.
Hi! I would just drive it and take it easy on the drive and you should be good
Real quick how tall are you sir? cause I'm 6'0 with lower back surgery that's why with my STI I always put memory foam by my lower back when I drive... Do you think this supra is for me I just need a real opinion? Thank you..
Where do you go to get it serviced? BMW or Toyota dealership??? Just curious
Hi, not topical question if I may.
I live in the UK.. asking if the rav 4 diesel engine 2.0 is reliable. I believe these engines are BMW. Available in RAV4 2016, for few years before Toyota stopped the diesel all together.
Will be grateful for your comments.
Thank you for all the educational and entertaining videos.
Hi! Honestly we don’t have the diesel model here so i don’t have have much experience with it to share
Can I install a roof rack and what is the tow limit ?
Awesome AMD. There is the Supra I thought was yours😀. Yes, it is definitely a BMW Z4 under the body. Even the sound chime is totally bmw. Just wondering, is the reliability still there since engine, drivetrain the whole chassis, electronics etc. are all bmw? Only time will tell. I had 3 bmw’s mainly the E39’s, but I was in the bmw community and I know by 100k miles, things start to break. I know from all three I had and my friends that has various models through the years. Like I said Only time will tell. Thank you AMD, Cool review!
Since when did they fix the oil burning issue for 2022? I did not know this. What was toyotas fix for it? Please let me know asap as I am in the market for a Supra. Thanks
It's not a Supra to me, it essentially followed the Chrysler Crossfire recipe, which was a Mercedes SLK320 with a different body built at a German subcontractor. The Supra is a BMW Z4 with a different body built at a Austrian subcontractor. Same mechanicals and even the interior, Toyota did the exterior, "tuned" the suspension, and that's about it. I understand the reasoning for it, it wouldn't have existed otherwise, but I wished they at least used their own engine. I think their sales numbers would be much higher if there was more Supra in this "Supra".
IMO, even if this was 100℅ Toyota, almost nobody would buy it. It would be too expensive for most. Exactly what happened to the MK4. So it doesn't really matter.
@@damilolaakanni Have you seen the current auto market? Plenty of people are buying expensive vehicles these days, and the Supra isn't even at that level. I know plenty of potential buyers who bought something else after they realized what the "Supra" was, even more expensive vehicles from other brands.
@@gpaje I would rather get a New Vette to bring back my inner 9 year old or the new Z
@@HotRod-wv4vm vette are nice, but I rather have a Lexus LC.
@@gpaje That might be slightly coping. How many people are buying a r35 brand new from the factory? The r35's sell like shit from factory, at least in the states, and especially in recent years. Most people bought r35's used, if they can afford one at all, and if they can find a clean example of one. Granted, the r35 has not changed much for more than a decade since being released. If you think a $100k+ hypothetical MKV '3JZ' in house inline 6 from Toyota would sell, you're delusional, especially in the states, and especially when $100k+ brings you into a whole new realm of competition within the price range.
does the toyota mk5 b48 engine have the same problem?
AMD watch your channel religiously, you do a great job. I have a question about a Lexus 2016 es350. I have spoken to 6 Lexus Dealers half of them say Never change transmission fluid the other half says absolutely. Of course the manual says never change. What do I do btw only 35,000 miles. Good luck and god’s speed with the new shop.

Hi! I would change the fluid every 60k miles or 6 years whichever comes first
@@TheCarCareNut Thank you for your reply I agree with you 100% I just have one more question and I hate to bother you. Why would a Lexus dealer not a third-party mechanic tell me not to change it when it seems everybody agrees that it’s beneficial to change it. And of course yes the manual and manufacturer says lifetime don’t change it.
Dealer will NOT go against what is in the owners manual. You can bank on it!
It’s a long reason why they decided to list it as lifetime fluid. It basically gets you past the warranty then you’re on your own. Dealerships have issues with them because they don’t follow procedure so they decide not to do them
Wait so oil consumption issues with newer Supra’s are fixed?
Reminds me a lot of the Gen 2 Dodge Viper. I'm really hoping we see a targa top before they end production.
It seems Supra is made as right side steering wheel and adapted for left side. Radio buttons wrong oriented, buttons and holder around gearbox also. Thank you AMD.
Hi, would you consider reviewing the new 2022 Toyota GR86?
Yes in the near future
I am a Toyota fan through and through. However, my son insisted on purchasing a BMW. We traveled to Chicago and purchased at 2013 BMW 335i X drive with 68,000 miles on it two years ago. The car now has 103K miles and he replaced the charge pipe, a plastic coolant fitting and just tires and tune up after that. I think this car has been better than a typical BMW's reputation might suggest. I was the one who insisted on an inline V6 though and it is a wonderful motor!
An Inline 6 has no V-configuration.
Can you do a video about the Gt86?
