Where the Supra stands out over the Cayman is in the sounds department. For sure the Supra has a more exciting and a better soundtrack than the Cayman. I remember Tetsuya Tada once said that he’s disappointed with the sound of the 4-cylinder engine in the Cayman.

He looks inevitably Supra-ised! The transmission looks not too big of a deal for him. I wonder what’s it like to be in his position. :hmm: To be honest, the silver looks nice. :thumbsup: I would patiently wait for mine to come. Haven’t seen anyone this excited receiving his/her brand new sports...

Consider the head unit too.:)

If Toyota’s intention is to really hype up their brand, the GR brand beginning with the Supra, then the lack of a manual transmission is something that will surely put a HUGE hole in their resumé. Not only that, but they’ve also benchmarked it with the Porsché Cayman. For sure expectations are...

With regards to the the Supra, I don’t just want a manual; I need it. It’s a driver’s car. I’m buying it for the feel and drive. Experience amazing when you drive a manual sports car. You have full control of the drive, where majority of the workload is on the driver. The automatic version lacks...

Surprised to know that the location of the washer fluid cover is around the front fender area :thumbsup:

Here’s my take on manual vs. automatic transmission: In an automatic transmission equipped car, most of the time, I feel very comfortable driving it. Yes, it’s fun cruising on a straight line, especially on highways. Cornering is also great. I could do a lot of stuff while driving the car like...

Not that it’s worse because it currently doesn’t have a manual. It’s just that...the fun never ends when Toyota offers the manual in the Supra. Just give it as an option. There’s no doubt that the 8-speed automatic is a fantastic transmission; but at the end of the day, there’s nothing that can...

Stressing out the Supra’s need for a manual

What If Toyota Had Chosen A Different Partner For Supra Than BMW? These eight renderings show what could've been. In case you haven’t heard, Toyota partnered with BMW to revive the storied Suprasports cars. Oh, you have heard? Then you may not realize that the Supra shares much of its platform...

Really depends on the driver, as well as market feedback. Best is give it more options. Aside from the ZF8HP AT(which has already proven itself as a good transmission), offer a manual, and DSG. Say, a customer wants the Supra in manual badly. But since it is currently available with an automatic...

I agree! It’s not always about the power. The feel and the connection between the car and the driver is the most important aspect of a true driver’s car; and that is what a manual transmission car exactly provides.

Adding the option of a manual transmission to the Supra(vs. ZF8HP AT) would make it ... well, slower, but also more engaging for the purists. :drive:

Toyota Supra in Australia is pretty expensive; and yet you have to win not 1 but 2 lottery in order to be one of the 100 customers to buy!:confused1: https://amp.news.com.au/technology/innovation/motoring/motoring-news/toyota-supra-price-shock/news-story/46677e4a6c3eec35a37aaeca082acd20

Well, yeah, it’s a possibility. The Toyota Supra / BMW Z4 is a completely different story as compared to the earlier Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ tie-up; and the Supra is expected to gain more and more variants, different variations, in the coming years.

If Toyota benchmarked the Cayman for their new Supra, why is it that the Cayman offers a manual transmission but the Supra doesn’t? :hmm:

The Toyota 86 is a sports car that pushes you to the limit, makes you drive as hard as you can so you can bring out the best out of the car. There’s an instant connection between the car and the driver(since it’s being offered with a manual transmission). The Toyota Supra, on the other hand, is...

It could be that the manual transmission for the new Supra is still under development and testing. I remember what Tada said before regarding the manual they tested that it couldn’t match the Supra’s torque level, that the Supra’s current engine is too powerful for the manual; and that the ZF...

Numbers show that only about 30% of the total 86 sales are manuals. Mazda, with regards to Miata, sells a lot more manuals. 76% of the soft-top buyers still buy the manual, and 52% of the RF buyers go for manual. Still a lot more than Toyota.
