Until fairly recently, I was always a "It is gotta have a clutch pedal" guy. I do not know whether I am getting too old or whether I just recognize and accept the inevitable. Most modern racecars are now paddle shift. Most exotics are paddle shifters. New automatics now shift faster and provide better performance than even the most adept manual gear rower. Many new performance cars are just flat out faster without the manual.
I have accepted that sports cars no longer need a clutch pedal to be fun.

Yeah, no manual feels like a totally boneheaded decision. Maybe that'll be the "GIVE US A TURBO" gripe for the Supra buyers over the next 6 years lol.
Making it manual only makes it seem like a Lexus. Also this car only has 15 hp over the 25 year old MKIV, which is kind of disappointing. I wonder if the engine will respond to more boost as well as the 2JZ did. |

I would be fine with an automatic version of either of those along with a lot of other current performance cars. I doubt Toyota will go DCT (or CVT....lol).

Still not sure if I like the huge schnoz. The rear end and side profile look really nice though.
