I'm sure all of you have read this.....

If the designer of the Supra thinks this way, and he is also designing the next gen 86, then what are the chances of a MT in any of these sports cars? I still think that from a corporate standpoint, the 86 is very likely to be discontinued as its volume declines. There is no way that the Toyota management will continue with such a low volume car with limited margins. I'm sure the Supra will have decent margins at a price point in the mid-50's especially with BMW being in the mix with the Z4. Lower volumes of higher margin cars can make it. It is all about profit in a public corporation.
