So you re-googled because you didn't believe the wiki.
No. It wouldn't have been. Then others would have googled. Posting a negative link does the same thing.
So are you saying that one shouldn't post links showing something doesn't exist. Only the positives?
I appreciated the link.
We read the posting of the link two different ways.
I saw it as here iseverything about the Supra so no one else has to google.
So it wasn't a goose chase.
If I post a link, I will make sure to post exactly why so everyone knows exactly what I am talking about and no one can come back with that doesn't show a non-existent item.

I did not disbelieve the Wiki, nor did I re-google then. You got the order wrong in order to come to those conclusions.
I googled once just before my original post, being careful enough to double-check, even though I know cars, and probably verified already way back when I read those books. Found nothing, so posted what I already knew with certainly, never marketed in the U.S.
She first implied that these cars existed, by talking about importing cars and that the author should state exceptions. I responded that I was 99% sure not, hoping to stop having my original post waste others' time. Later I stated that I was a car nut, same reason, to forestall wasting time doubting my trivial post.
The second time I googled was when she asked me this question, "Did you google Supra? I did."
Since her previous post was pro-existence, I was thinking she found something, because why the post otherwise? Curiosity aroused, I responded and asked for a pic of those cars (what else can that mean other than the Supra Station Wagon and Chrysler Town Car?)
She responded with the Wikipedia link, no text telling me it was not those cars. Why should I assume she was giving me the negative when I asked for pics of the positive? Words would have helped. I was already slightly annoyed to get google-challenged like teenagers do, rather than her just telling me what she found. This response giving me the opposite of what I asked for, required me to carefully read the whole entry. I already knew what she sent me looking for, and she knew I knew, but still made me work.
A little more time and thought invested into posts can save an awful lot of others' time.
