^Can someone please translate for us?
According to my buddy, its pretty run of the mill stuff talking about its appearance at Goodwood. Mentions that it's Auto only, with the possibility of a Manual later on. No stand-out or new info apparently.

Sounds like they are looking to add an MT option to the drivetrain, because of strong demand.
Is it saying that Toyota/Tada-San actually said that or is it simply speculating that they would? My buddy didn't get into the specifics when he translated it for me.

I would translate the last two paragraphs of the blue section of that article as follows:

"Besides the suspension modifications, a 3 pedal MT is being prepared. Although Tada hinted that there would only be AT, because of strong market demand for an MT, the consideration/preparation for it has already started. BMW already offers an inline 6 turbo with an MT in other models, so it is not technically unfeasible."

I don't know what magazine this is nor do they quote any source, but I remember Tada-san saying in that one on one interview a while back, that he never said that there wouldn't be an MT, and that if there is strong enough demand for it, they will offer it.

Interesting! A strong statement indeed. I guess we can keep digging on this going forward.

I'm not sure why people are surprised. A70 said a manual will be available at a later date. If he had to guess, two years after the initial launch.

It was from this magazine, and thanks for the translation. :thumbsup:
