Something tells me this will get marked up to oblivion and if there is a used car market for it, that'll be through the roof too.

I’ve been teasing that everyone is going to start dumping their 3.0s only to find the MT will start off as a 2.0-only option.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.

Maybe all the naysayers should apologize to all of our inside people.

So we're still good for an April 28th unveiling?

I'm glad to hear that the years of rumors of the 2023MY having a manual option became true and was always intended to be part of Tetsuya Tada's vision for the GR Supra's production cycle.

I was planning on getting a manual GR86 in the near future but I might end up getting a second GR Supra instead (especially for collector purposes knowing cars like these are all but near extinct).

Hm, red Supra badge for the manuals (at least in Europe): https://newsroom.toyota.eu/coming-soon-toyota-gr-supra-manual-transmission/

That's a cool touch, I like that.

Yeah, looks cool, but makes me wonder if it has the same effect on a red Supra? ^^

Probably gonna be a similar situation

With all the comments online. There better be at least 10000 units sold first month of release.

That really would be amazing considering they're probably only going to have enough DME's for the first 100.

Toyota will now see Supra sales exceed all other models combined, since everyone on the internet that said they'd buy one when a manual was offered will now do so.

Alot of people on the internet also brag about how fast their cars are on the track and only show it doing highway pull.

And if I got a dollar from anyone who doesn't, I'd be able to retire

You also be the richest man on the planet.

It's about time! Thanks @Guff and @MA617M!!!

 

[Bryster]

Toyota to all the people who said it wouldn't happen

I'd like to think so... but it seems there's a new multi-billionaire every 10 minutes these days. Sadly I'm a few billion short myself.

I’ll be curious what they mean by “Tailor made manual” I’m praying they won’t build the trans and have it end up becoming the weak point vs how much the b58 can handle.
