New Supra 4 cyl to replace the 86?
Your inability to understand the concepts of failure mechanics and the statistics that go hand in hand with predicting the rate of failure does not render them irrelevant. Let me know when you've built a 300hp 86 competitor at a rate of 10,000 units per year with a 5 year 60k power train warranty AND you didn't lose your shirt on warranty repairs for the cars that failed under the warranty term. |

We need as many people possible driving these sorts of cars or else the death of the MT will come very soon if it isn't already too late.

Besides the RX7's those are all $30k cars and are more obtainable hence you will see more of them on the road. Ill stick to my point if I have a halo car then I'd want it to be more rare. The one thing we can agree on is yes Id love to see more sports cars on the road than giant SUV's with one person in them hogging the road. |

Haha, okay buddy. I'm sure the 86 stands alone as the exception to the rule. It's so special, unlike just about any other sports car in this regard. Yup.
And nothing I've said displays an inability to understand mechanical and physical properties, laws, tolerances, factors of safety, etc.

If you look at sports cars that have a base model and higher levels, like Porsche and Corvette, you'll see the base model is configured as the best daily driver with very few compromises. As you move up the ladder, you get performance upgrades which makes the car faster, but not a better daily driver. The very high end cars are basically track machines. From everything I've read, the base 6 cylinder Supra will come with an automatic transmission and be the base daily driver. There may also be some high end track oriented variants as well selling for over $100k. From a marketing perspective, having a low cost, 4 cyl, stripped down version will hurt the Supra brand in terms of being able to charge a premium for a low volume car. That doesn't mean that from a manufacturing perspective there may be another sports car produced on the Supra line that has a 4 cyl and a manual transmission. In order for there to be a base model 4 cyl Supra brand, the car still has to be able to produce as good as a daily driving experience, in terms of comfort and handling, and thus the price of that car will not be significantly less than the 6 cyl version. Otherwise, advertising will be very difficult from a brand perspective because you don't have a common driving experience. That said, this is a complex decision based upon the specific products, pricing, concept/product fit, and consumer testing. Without seeing the final products and pricing, there is no way for any of us to determine how this will enter the market.

You can certainly blow your own engine, replace your clutch, replace your mounts, as you've already voided your warranty and it is your money. But reputable companies cannot do this. And yes, what you've said does display an inability to understand mechanical and physical properties, laws, tolerances, factors of safety, etc., because they all apply to the 86. |

Hah!
Thank you for regurgitating the same lame talking points that have been used on this very forum for over 5 years. A for effort. Your day job wouldn't happen to be the actor playing Captain Obvious for Hotels.com?

Even most modern race cars no longer have a third pedal. I was a diehard manual driver for 50 years and taught all 4 of my kids to drive a standard shift but even I have to accept that the manual is a dinosaur and will soon become extinct. 2010 - 6.7% of cars sold in US with manual 2017 - 3% of cars sold in US with manual 2018 - first half of model year only 2% of cars sold in US with manual. Soon, in order to get manual shift you will have to buy used.
