I hope people keep whining about transmission and engine and I can get it with a discount. I want the handling, engine, and transmission but outside style is still something I still must get warm up to for making that purchase happen.

US - 514 units
Canada - 32 units

All 32 must be east of Toronto lol. I've been seeing different Supras every week.

The B58 engine is perfect for the new Supra, C8 Corvette sales are going to end price gouging pretty quick on the standard versions of these things and they'll be slowly rolling out of Austria for the US at the pace of a few hundred a month for a few years. If you take off the ego-goggles it's a helluva car for $50k and I think ToyotaMW nailed the 'cut price Cayman' target. If I got a job with a bigass salary I'd seriously consider picking one up as a commuter.

mrg666 · 10-10-2019, 08:03 PM

I agree. It looks like a very good sports car for 50k to me. I just wish I could appreciate the style more. But I have not seen one in person yet.

BA9092 · 10-12-2019, 09:18 PM

Finally got to see one up close and sit in it. Very nice. I’d love one if I were comfortable coughing up $60k for one.

Too bad it doesn’t come in a manual like it’s B58 cousin, the M240i does...

It doesn't raise the styling bar the way the 86 did but looks nice in person. Very color dependent. All in my humble opinion

Still dont understand why this BMW has an auto tranny and not their DCT. WTF!

You guys are funny. It is a pos that isn't going to change anything, and only fanboys will

even know it exists.

Cause the ZF 8speed is as fast as the BMW DCT and it can handle way more torque. Autos have caught up, DCTs don’t make sense for most cars anymore.

Cuz the speed difference is negligible in the new autos which are also smaller and lighter to save packaging space and weight.

Go see how much heavier and larger the new Corvette is for reference. The thing is a tank by comparison.

Those articles states how the auto trans is favored in a wide range of applications. It notes that a dual clutch still shifts faster. It's for pedestrian cars, only used in "sportier" cars because of cost.
