I truly don't think a manual is ever coming. People keep asking Tada about it like a broken record, and he then has to say, "well, we won't say it isn't going to happen" for PR reasons (when inside his head he is going, yeah 95% chance it isn't happening). You also can't ignore the BMW part of the equation.@A70TTR Certainly sounds like it'll be special but are you aware of any news about a manual transmission Supra coming to the market from Toyota? Or should the people that want a MT sports car cut their losses and go for the new GR86 when its released?
The people I've asked internally about this also echo these sentiments, but there is always that super slim chance it will happen... But the reality of it is just that, highly unlikely.
The GR86 will be an awesome car, especially for someone wanting a manual Toyota. The same goes for the GR Corolla being developed. Unfortunately neither are anywhere near as premium level as the Supra, but that's just how it is...
Toyota makes a lot more sense as a company if you start viewing it as multiple different entities fighting each other on every aspect of vehicle development, for both financial and political reasons. I feel there used to be far more solidarity in vision/goals which is why these apparent contradictions used to be seemingly less prevalent.
