An MKIV Supra was about $70k usd in today's cash, but I doubt many paid full MSRP.

Depends on whether you use inflation figures of how much more everything costs now.

Or whether you use the inflation figures of how much the average household making professional wages, could afford.

Two very different inflation curves.

Point of the story: average professionals can't afford the cool cars that they used to, and thus less demand, and those cars don't exist in the same way, or in some cases, at all.

I WILL own a Mark IV one day. You can keep your Ferrari, I want a heavily (yet tastefully) modified Supra, dammit.

Weren't they 32k when they first came out? Undercut the supra and the 300zx I think.

and, in today's rotaries, they'd have a twin turbo renensis capable of going 12k miles before blowing an apex seal. :'(
