1/ This is a public forum. That is, it is full of people's opinions.
2/ I was not attacking you; I was arguing your post.
3/ The car is an inanimate object; it does not need a manual, you want a manual.
4/ Vent all you like. The Supra does not interest me as a purchase.

By the way, if it makes you feel any better, I enjoy driving my manual BRZ.

I did not "move the goal posts". I just posted a video that explains why some people still want a manual. I did not argue anything against autos. I also did not introduce a new topic. This is the Supra thread, and my post was relevant to the current discussion.

I'll just leave this here for you automatic folks who don't understand..

The proper way is to do both.

I was only pointing out that the left foot would have plenty to do if the car is being driven at optimum performance.

Does anyone think the white reverse lights will be any more useful than the one on the 86?

As useful as the automatic gearbox in this new Supra.

Zing!!

If you are referring to the trapazoid light in the center then I think that could be the reverse light, but it is primarily or is actually a racing inspired flashing brake light that is activated under heavy braking.

Looks good and that video the car sounded so good. To bad no 6sp MT gearbox!

^It has been hinted that one could show up a little later down the road.

jflogerzi · 12-26-2018, 01:01 AM

Yup I read that. If demand is there/ it could be a possibility

Can't be worse

I think it was hinted for a manual if it came with the 4cyl as well.

Why bother doing a full swap etc on a BRZ putting you back how much if you could get into a Supra at $45k(fair price) and get a stiffer chassis with better center of gravity and a very well engineered block(B58 block is closed deck etc)

Remember the twins are the middle brother for Toyota's plan for a 3 teir sport car offerings. Let's see what they slot under the FT86. But I am looking forward to the reviews. Let's hope it's different than the BMW version.
