Any more specs on the 2.0 manual? That’s the one I’d be more interested in.

No because they're not going to sell a 2.0 manual in the US.

Really? That sucks.

All I found was this so I assumed it’s coming on both:

- a recent report - alleged that the manual was originally planned to be exclusive to the 2.0-liter model before someone at Toyota (rightly) insisted it be available on the six-cylinder car.-

Why not offer manual for both?

I don't see this as being explicitly stated. Do you have a link?

Not sure that the person that wrote that even believes it. He certainly used enough language to be able to later say that he didn't!

Oh and this is one of the most unbelievable statements I have ever read...

"If anyone would know what's coming, it would be a dealer."

Yea, I saw the original article on Drive and didn't have the nerve (or too much common sense) to post it. For those that want it, I hope it happens but I've seen nothing yet that says it definitely is coming soon.

Supra model year change overs and final reveals have usually been around late July thus far with teases beginning in late March. So why anything would be confirmed right now is odd...

my dealer told me that i should get a base mitsubishi lancer. with the hubcaps. because they're turbocharged and awd.

"if anyone would know cars, it would be a dealer"...

There's a wide gap of knowledge between the people that own and run a dealership and some of the random sales people they employ there.

(also I have no doubt you already know this and are just being difficult).

My local Subaru dealership OWNER told me about the turbo convertible BRZ that was coming out in 2018. He went into great detail about how he was shown it at an owner's conference and it was a definite go and should be on the lot by the end of 2018. Do you see many people enjoying their 2018 turbo convertibles?

When looking to replace the FRS in 2020 the same guy told me I had better buy the BRZ they had in the showroom because the model was discontinued and there was never going to be a Gen 2. He stated he had "many" emails from corporate saying they were never going to make the BRZ again. They have one sitting on their lot right this minute so he must have been very surprised.

When I picked my Hakone up from it's first service at the small town Toyota dealer (not at the dealer ship I bought it from) near work. The owner AND the sales manager came out to ask me where I got the custom interior made and who I had paint it green.

I am historically pro dealer and think they get a bad rap from about 90% of the people on this, or any car, forum but in most cases being well informed of the more unusual of their products is a very common shortcoming no matter how far up the dealership ladder they are. This is probably as much the parent companies' fault since most of them seem to be really bad at informing the dealerships what is happening on anything but the big sellers.

A wide gap between the sales force and management is not acceptable either since managers should be making sure their salespeople know whatever they do. Unfortunately if the managers have bad info so will the rest of the staff.

compare to the EAG swap.

the divider piece appears to have been redone when compared to the auto.
