Again, you can think that, but it clearly doesn't make financial sense for them to do.

[/QUOTE] Sure it is. I'll believe it when it happens. Just like how the next 86 will be going turbo. :p[/QUOTE]

If the 400z actually comes out and has one while not completely sucking like the current car, Toyota will be forced to add it or they'll lose the small number of buyers they already get on the supra. It wouldn't surprise me if they put the manual only on the 4 banger though. Same reason why they're already quietly telling people the GRMN supra will be coming to close the line down, in that segment they know they have to upgrade to stay competitive for buyers.
