Yeah, they probably have to remove that divider at the centre console because it was placed in a dumb location, the driver’s side, in the first place. I never understood why they placed a divider there instead of the customary passenger side. It’s weird and illogical and just impairs the driver’s ability to reach controls in the centre console and stack. Bad design that even impaired their ability to install a manual gearstick, requiring a redesign. Hilarious.

probably to make it look more like the FT1

Looks like Shiv is at it again:

Also, notice the last two sentences of the article . . .

Sure, but they could do that by putting the divider on the passenger’s side of the centre console. Like the F-Type does. It always looked weird just having a divider on the driver’s side, and it’s impractical to boot.

BTW, if they wanted an FT-1 interior feature to copy, they could have gone with the FT-1 steering wheel. The production steering wheel they went with is butt ugly, not sporty at all and looks like it came off a Camry.

Wonder if he will keeping "upgrading" the zenki models tunes or just quick money grab from new gen owners...

I know it is in Chinese but it pretty much says Supra manual in Q4.

This will skyrocket the price, then dealerships wants 15k of markup

That gas pedal fits like a whole little Japanese shoe print.

Glad the news is out. I read they are doing a full press release by the end of the month.

Going to make some assumptions here; assuming it'll be a 3.0 with a slight power bump and upper trim ala A91 edition, so around low-$60s. It'll add to a very short list of high-performance manuals. I think it's just these four cars...

Mustang Mach 1 - $56-58k
Camaro SS/ZL1 - $43-64k
Cayman - $60k
CT4-V Blackwing - $59k

From there it's M3/4 around $70-72k+ along with Cayman S at $72k+.. then ~$85k for a Lotus Emira or $88k Cayman GTS and then $120-160k for the 911 variants. After that... $3mm GM T.50? I think I'm forgetting the M2 somewhere in there when the new one comes out.

I personally don't think the new Z will meaningfully compete with the manual Supra on road or track. It'll likely do a mid-12 quarter and be an easy magazine race given six cylinder turbo comparison but I'm skeptical Nissan had allocated enough resources to turn the original FM chassis, rehashed motor and gearbox to be a significant improvement over the outgoing model(s). I hope I'm wrong, I hope it'll be competitive and tie for 1st/2nd everywhere. Looking at the Frontier and other recent Nissan products, however, I'm convinced they are on the way out and not able to be competitive anymore.

Anyway, point being the Supra would have a real nice spot for itself.

Anyone here plan to pick one up?

A friend of mine told me he likely would have gotten a Supra if it came with a stick, but he instead got a Civic Type R after his previous lease was up. After going through leasing a bunch of cars he thinks the Civic might be his keeper car and might buy it out at the end of the lease term.

I wonder if the Supra + stick news might make him change his mind lol.
