Totally agree, in addition to those on this forum, prospective buyers need some regular updates/teasing/details to keep interest up, hopefully marketing knows this...

I was able to sit in one of those a couple of years ago. Very impressed with that car. I don't know why they wouldn't offer that transmission in the IS350 as I believe it was the same engine.
I can only speculate, but I sure wish there was a manual RC350... I'd have a different DD if so.

Thanks supraboi, some the best new interior photos so far... they talked about the current steering wheel, sure is ugly and big. Hopefully more new interior photos will come soon...

love to see a 6Speed GR supra GRNM Editon with carbon parts - like this:

for this version of the car it has to have a special Toyota engine, maybe a 2JZ worthy successor?

The RC body is beautiful, but the F version, is too heavy and static feeling for me, had it been offered with a manual it would surely be a totally different car but then again I am sure it was aimed/designed at a specific buyer...

Hey just saw a review of the new toyota avalon, and it offers 300hp...I hope this is a sign the Supra will have lots...:)
It’s just the Camry V6 with 301hp. Everyone in that segment have abandoned V6s in favor of 4cyl turbos making around 250-260hp. Very confused as to why Toyota even updated that V6 from 268 to 301. Well I guess being the only one offers a unique market advantage.

Remember those ads that Lexus GS had.. mocking others (bmw, Audi etc) as have a 4cyl as a standard engine.. and then a year later GS200t was added. Lol

oddly enough, there is a large group of folks within Toyota against turbocharging... Lexus got around that, but Toyota itself (brand wise) seems to be adhering to that general line of thinking.

"overly complicated and less reliable" is a common line I've heard thrown around for instance.

My point was if they are now offering 300hp in the Avalon, with a louder exhaust, which is more performance oriented then the previous model, then this statement should surely be carried onto the halo car...

Yup, agreed and hoping that carries on.
