Finally a decent review. Some really good points about sports cars and armchair racers crying foul while buying Prius's and Camry's.

Its a subjective thing Petro.
Some find it nice looking and others don't like it. The Supra has a tough world to please and this is just the beginning as for stuff awaits us in the coming years. Toyota didn't go thru all the trouble to make us a Supra to stop further development down the road. Fact that they are all sold out means good news in future. A manual and better looks may happen to please the rest of the crowd. Buyers have shown their power by securing all allocations and enthusiasts have voiced out an emotional cry for the cherished manual they long for. |

F a manual. It's 2019. This thing needs dual clutch.

yes it needs a manual....but in 2019 what does a DCT actually provide over a nice TC? they are both faster than a good manual operator, the difference in shifting speed is very minimal and I would assume a DCT would add even more weight.

And how can you not fathom people wanting to shift themselves when you have a S2K in your profile picture and when you're on a site for a car that has had the highest MT take rate among today's 2 doors... ...clicking a paddle does not give me any satisfaction ...the computer shifting insanely quick does not give me any satisfaction ...getting to the next stoplight a few extra seconds quicker than someone using a stick does not give me any satisfaction what does an automatic transmission actually provide? laziness? saving your hand/knee? easier ability to text & drive? |

Don't start with the auto vs manual. Just let it be. You're just as ignorant for suggesting manual drivers are old school as they are for thinking auto's are lifeless. It's a preference/opinion. |

Reliablity wise DSG are poor as daily drivers, or if you experience any heavy traffic.
TC reliability is not a issue, plus as stated, you can abuse a TC with much more power and not worry about it costing you your kidney to fix

86 vs new Supra--review by TFL car
The new Supra just got dynoed today. 339whp and 427lb ft of torque. Over 200lb ft almost right off idle (1600rpm), more than our motors make in the entire rev range.
I’m definitely throwing in the towel on the 86 platform when funds allow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

So it is actually making more like 400 at the crank. Typical BMW numbers

I'd still buy the Supra, but only in a 4-cylinder + manual configuration. As long as I have a manual, I don't need that much HP to have fun in everyday driving.
