The car only has one gas cap. The earlier leaks were just mirrored images (flip-flop).

If it's anything like what Porsche does, they give the Euro units roll cages on their RS models (I think those were it), but the US units did not receive them.

Hopefully, we will find out in two more days who is "credible".

And all of those publications were speculating; nothing factual to back up their predictions.

Nope, no manual transmission means no interest from me.

A limited production run of manuals, that's impossible to buy, would not shut up the haters. At least not the ones that would actually buy them. If it's still not attainable, then it doesn't really matter.

Toyota's team behind the Supra said they did test and prototype a version with a MT 6sp. So let's see what happens later in the life cycle to see if one comes. Give us the new BMW 4 cyl turbo and a manual with it and I would be in heaven. Just love the looks

But when you have short Asian legs like I do, do I really want a long travel German clutch pedal and long throw shifter compare to the 86/BRZ? I won't go into the electronic finger brake (meaning it'll probably have hill hold assist).

BTW have we even seen a RHD new Supra in the flesh yet? It's not even in those rendering new marketing material I posted on the other thread.

The problem is the internet.
There will always be some niche of perennially-upset commenters (and the only way you'd possibly shut them up, is give them the car for free, delivered to their doorsteps - and even then, it's no guarantee).

Just the availability would speak volumes though (even if not much volume).

Good, no manual. Was hoping there wouldn't be one. But you never know.

carbonBLUE · 01-14-2019, 11:30 AM

so much want

Summerwolf · 01-14-2019, 11:33 AM

Looks like I'll be holding off. Same motor in z4 makes more power so you just know model year 2 or 3 they'll drop a higher hp model or maybe even a manual option with the 6 cylinder.

No hang on a minute here.

Goddamnit they priced it at $49,990 just because I said they would never sell it for under $50,000!

Well of course the inline V6 has less HP. All those connections to get an inline V engine to work must be a bitch.

I can understand the logic behind it now. That's very cleaver. Toyota back at it again with the innovation
