From the climate control to the lower console it’s the same garbage.. thank Toyota. I see how much effort you put into keeping this car true to its German roots.It will be slightly different but not much. Center console looks exactly the same, we already know it will use the same screen in the same location, everything tilted towards the driver. My guess is the vents will look slight different, steering wheel will look 100% the same and the radio setup will be the only thing that might look different. 80% will be the same. Lipstick on a pig.
As you already can see the A/C controls are different to the Z4. The Z4 has a display between the vents and buttons underneath. The Supra seems to have the older BMW A/C controls, you can already see the knobs to adjust the temperature.It will be slightly different but not much.

Technically, the shift knobs are different. Haha the Supra features older BMW tech, while the Z4 has the new stuff. Would be nice if Toyota developed their own tech for the interior, but I think it’s unlikely at this point. What we saw at Goodwood is what we’re probably gonna get"Not just in exterior panels, but even in the interior too. There isn’t much that be seen as shared-components in how the car feels. Down to even shift knobs, they are different. Of course, major components are shared, such as engine and carriages, but even the tuning of the engine and transmission are different too."

We should hold back our judgements when looking at click bait articles with images several months old. While the Toyota specifc parts are being developed in Japan, it makes no sense to ship them to Germany for assembly for testing around the NĂĽrburgring or to England for the Goodwood Festival.

True. I was referring to the shifter and other misc. things we did see.We didn't see anything
No the mule feature older BMW tech. Like I said, is makes no sense to install Toyota tech in performance test mules. No one said the Goodwood cars were the exact production carsTechnically, the shift knobs are different. Haha the Supra features older BMW tech, while the Z4 has the new stuff.

I wish you were right, but I don’t believe in it. In my eyes it makes sense test the whole car in its final condition, especially that short before the sales will start. And where is the problem bringing some Toyota parts from japan (or anywhere else in the world) to Munich? There isn’t one. I’m sure that the interior we spied last months is final.No the mule feature older BMW tech. Like I said, is makes no sense to install Toyota tech in performance test mules.

They save money wherever they can, but the prices for customers are getting higher and higher. It’s not the one that buys the car who saves, it’s only the company, maximizing their profits.Honestly, having old tech (left over) might not be so bad. It could result in a lower cost for the vehicle.
Well cars are getting more technologically advanced, safe, and reliable. Coupled with inflation, of course it'll go up. Now there in lies the responsibility for us as consumers to curb our desire for instant gratification and new toys. Keep your car longer, or buy a better car used.They save money wherever they can, but the prices for customers are getting higher and higher.

What does instant gratification have anything to do with it? It’s safe to say, not a single person on this forum or anyone that has waited years for the new Supra falls under the category of wanting or needing instant gratification. People should really stop using those words with anything to do with the A90.Well cars are getting more technologically advanced, safe, and reliable. Coupled with inflation, of course it'll go up.

Easy there Kemosabe. I was talking to Mike Myers about cars in general these days and how their prices are increasing...What does instant gratification have anything to do with it?

Curb our desire for new toys? It’s toys, what’s the hold up? No one should ever have to wait this long for a toy let alone a toy-ota (pun intended). Is it that we request toys or is it that companies keep providing toys no one even asked for? Sorry, I just think you are way off base with your comment.
There is no reason the Supra should cost as much as a Porsche. Porsche has crazy profits in their cars, Toyota is just going to milk it for whatever they can get. You want a good deal on a brand new A90 then wait until year 3 for a $10k discount.
