Also weird editing, the audio doesn't match the video. I am hearing tire squeal while they drive slow on the straight, and engine revs are all over the place compared to where they are on the track.

Car looks cool though. It is a good red.

Edit: It seems like the audio lines up until about the 2 minute mark.

I just wish for ONE thing on that GR86

A very small gloss black wrap that that just covered the lower front splitter - something that matched the black door mirrors.

Yeah the audio is not of the run shown. His gear changes don't match.

To my ear, it sounded like the opposite.

That might work with colors that give it a contrast but with the darker colors, don't think it's necessary.

Definitely Automatic. You can hear the shift @0:48 and he never touches the shifter.

I didn’t watch it, but normally embargoes mean you aren’t allowed to post an opinion about the car.

[ayau]

These embargoes are the dumbest thing ever. So you’ll let a journalist post videos about the car except for his impressions.

I believe the intention of this is to give every journalist a fair chance develop a coherent impression before posting the content online.

Here's a decent and pretty detailed explanation of embargoes:

Interior sound seems very similar to the current car to me.
