Mo Reviews Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 0% finance on a relatively new flagship model is pretty much unheard of in the automotive industry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The same deal applies to the GR Yaris too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Wow... didn’t realise the GR Yaris was part of the offer! Has Toyota somehow found itself in financial trouble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I doubt it's financial trouble at the moment, more like it's 'just' suffer a UK sales slump. Recent circumstances making people reassess new car purchases across the board and so they are doing their choice of promotional thing? I do think the Mkv is going to suffer harsh depreciation though, already is really.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 Well, not to rehearse what has already been said about the J29 being a BMW, but most BMW “M” cars don’t tend to hold their value very well, let alone it’s “half-way M” cars like the “M340i”, which incidentally shares its engine with the J29 Supra. I would have thought the GR Yaris would still sell like hot pancakes, given all the positive press it’s received and in spite the current climate? For them to include it in such a promotion, so soon after its launch, I feel highlights somewhat of an underlying issue at Toyota... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 The GR Yaris was on 0% from the get go for a two year deal. I think it was summer last year they announced that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 It wasn't on the Supra until recently as far as I'm aware. Certainly when we ordered our GR Yaris back in March 20 it was still around 3% from what I can remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) There's quite a lot of places using A90. https://media.toyota.co.uk/2019/01/the-legend-returns-world-premiere-of-the-new-toyota-gr-supra-at-the-2019-north-american-international-auto-show/toyota-gr-supra-a90-edition-15/ J29 supra. 154k Google results. A90 supra. 2.61m Google results. For whatever reason j29 does seem to be used sometimes. But I think it's best to use A90. That seems to be the popular choice.

Mo Reviews Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) The use of the reference “A90” is little more than a poor marketing attempt to associate the J29 with the MKIV “JZ(A80)” Supra... officially, the chassis code “J29” is followed by “DBXX”, that specifies the model, which is a BMW naming architecture. See the “Model codes” heading here for reference. Edited March 9, 2021 by Mo Reviews (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I'd call it better than poor, considering more supra sell than z4. Officially its called a Toyota Supra (registered in UK not supra look it up no links needed). But who's being picky lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Not hard beating the Z4 bud... lol Edited March 9, 2021 by Mo Reviews (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traditionally, the Z4 is probably the most unpopular BMW in the range - though, happy to be corrected! 2 hours ago, nolizma said: Still not seen one in the wild.

nolizma Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I caught a glimpse of a white one at my old work but it was a benchmarking vehicle. I have to admit though, it looked much better in the flesh compared to on the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I looked at one in the show room, it looked small and unremarkable. Who ever signed off on leaving the MKIV wing off needs shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raddys Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I've seen a few now, ntb from a side view but from the rear they look to skinny and tall, needed to be wider and lower like the ft1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
