Interviews with Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada

It's apparently for a commercial; if I had to guess I'd say they're going to do owner interviews like they did in Europe but do keep us updated

I fortunately will be having the honor of meeting Mr. Tada this week along with Moto. At this point I cannot discuss why but if anyone has any questions they would like for me to ask, please let me know and I’ll do my best to get them answered. Very excited for this opportunity!

I'd like to know if the base trim will have an i6

If he is taking questions I got a few,

1. After all the driving events like Madrid and the VLN: Nordschleife Premiere, what has been the general opinion gathered about the car internally and externally, and what changes have been done after all that.

2. Will a special GR version hit the U.S. market?

3. Is a 4 cylinder still in development?

4. What else can we expect out of the Detroit Reveal, asides from the obvious car itself?

I wish! Will have my supra ready just in case. However, we will be a little too far East.

Can you thank him for his passion and ask him if his vision for the supra was fulfilled, and if it waa compromised, is there a model that will be true to his vision?

Of course it was compromised. Whenever engineers are forced to work with marketing execs, accountants, lawyers... you know comprise was had.

Of course, but I feel his response would be interesting

Is the A90 engine going to be reliable and capable of handling at least twice the stock power?

Have you considered an N/A I6 (B58 without turbos) instead of 4 cyl possible option for the A90?

Will a future Celica run on A90 platform with 4 cyl? Would that replace the 86?

Ask the obvious: manual or not? The man's killing me.
And also ask if an MR2 W40 is really in the cards.

W40 vs Zora would be a good one

No, not really. Power to-weight ratios would not work.
And I insist on calling it the C8 Corvette.
