I agree, Toyota has already said they were gona release a track model, which would make sense if that model was MT only, I think thats the most we are going to get as far as an MT only car. I think someone has said this previously, but I would like a totally customizeable model, as far as options go, I would like the lighter weight track model with the bigger brakes and stiffer suspension, but I would like to keep my A/C and sterio system. So if they made a base model where you could pull like any options you wanted from any model and put it on that, a fully customizable model, think that would be a win in my book.

I like the idea of the track model but this is still going to be a DD so I still want my creature comforts.

Toyota should make all their cars manual. Good way to weed out the scammers/idiots and their frivolous claims. Seriously though, I would love it if the FT-86 was manual only, but I'll settle for the top model being manual only. With the current gen Civic you can easily tell the Si models apart, and you know their all manuals. With the 350Z/370Z, for example, it's not easy. I know I'm not the only one who always looks inside sports cars to see if their manual or auto, and I know I'm not the only one who is disappointed whenever I see the ugly auto shaft.

I thought you were serious about making all their cars manual for a second. I was about to use the headslap emote on you.
