I mentioned a few small SUVs that have strong programs right now. They looked at a CX5. I suggested a CRV or even a RAV4. I pointed him in the direction of 2 brokers. One from LH and another from Facebook (I used to work with one of the company's principle's). Marco ended up making his own deal on a 2021 Hyundai Kona SEL AWD in Black. I think he did everything over email and the sales department was easy to work with. He said the finance woman was pushy, but he stood his ground and didn't buy any of the "mop n glow." He said once he settled on the car he wanted for his Mom, he was able to beat the brokers' numbers. He's going to send a pic tomorrow or Monday when it stops raining.

Speaking of a punch. Was it divulged how many last year? I missed it if it was.

That's great news, I hope @tbirdmarco 's mom enjoys the Kona!
2019 M2 Comp, 22k miles, DCT.
Same miles as the 2018 I’m considering, so a bit high for the year, but it does have 2 years of warranty left.
Listed at $54k. They seemed happy to match or do a bit better than other offers on the Supra, and say there’s room on the M2 price.
Bottom line that I need to think about...if it’s a swap for the 2018, is $6-7k out of pocket for a Comp worth it. And is it actually a better deal?

The M2 Comp is a bit more focused than the Supra, twin turbo S55, bigger brakes, tighter suspension, etc.

If I had that sort of budget, I'd get one in a minute, if it were a stick.
But, in reality, I'd probably be happier with a 240i

The 2018 M2 sort of splits the difference in a way for me - not as expensive as the Comp, not a ton more performance than the M240i, but actually easier to find with a manual than the M240i.
I have heard that there are some features of the M2 beyond the power that make it somewhat sharper than the M240i, like the steering.

The biggest challenge is whether I'm ready to move on from the Supra. I love the styling of it...and at the same time often yearn for something less conspicuous. Something that doesn't cause 20-something drivers in BRZ's to hang their head out the window and scream at me (I think in admiration)...often asking if I want to "pull." I'm near 50 years old and have no idea what they're asking.
The BMW would offer a very similar experience but in a more mature body. It's a more upright seating position that I do miss from the GTI. And while super sharp in my eyes, it sort of blends in.
The value of the Supra has been great - I paid $47,700 for it last June and trade offers are averaging around $45k. Man, if only all my transactions were like that. So, I can move on from it if I choose feeling great about what the cost was to own and drive it for going on a year (I'm rounding up a bit). But it's also compelling to hang on to it having purchased that kind of performance at that kind of value.
For the record, I'm not buying that M2 Comp I drove yesterday. I posted that right after the test drive and was on a high. I'd still like one, but not ready to up my budget for it (they offered it to me for my Supra plus $6,500...not bad actually). I am still considering the straight trade for the 2018 M2...I have it on hold with a refundable deposit so it's at least available to me to look at this week.
Having said all that (sorry for the long winded post)...I'll probably keep the Supra. If so, do I win anything?

No doubly the M2 is a seriously sick automobile. The Supra is very unique. When’s the last time you saw another one on the road?

I recently had a similar conversation with my best friend who bought a used 2018 Raptor as a daily driver a few months ago. He recently took a road trip to Florida and was very impressed how his sister’s 2019 Suburban RST drove. He doesn’t like the current body style Tahoe/Suburban and started looking for slightly used 2020 Premier models. He’s fielded a few offers that range from “even swap” to “you need to come up with $3,500.” I told him he’s always going to be able to dump the Raptor when he wants, but get into that Suburban and you will be under water for the next few years. I also reminded him of some of the bad reliability issues he’s had with the GM trucks over the years. Thus far his Raptor has been “perfect.”

I seem to recall the convo around the Supra last year, saying the discounts at that time wouldn't register, making for strong trade-in in about a year. Sounds like that's exactly what happened...nice.

The M2 would be my first real M Car since my E24 M6. Probably the last BMW with the character and feel of the E46 and prior M3.
I will say that I would almost certainly try a Supra if I could get the same discount bread received.
