I really hope it's closer to the m240i coupe. Lots of people are expecting a market contraction in the next few years and I would honestly not feel comfortable dropping 60kish on a brand new car in the middle of a recession.
I hear a lot about how the old supra adjusted for inflation would be...
Is Toyota committed to sticking with this platform and improving it for generations to come?
I'd like them to continually improve the car like GM and Ford do with the Mustang and Camero.
I dislike JD power.

Consumer reports more reliable imo
So manuals are better at drifting and doing high speed u-turns. Bro I drive the speed limit and maintain a 3 second space cushion during rush hour.
Joking aside, I understand the visceral experience you manny trannies crave. Manuals are on their way out, thats just the way it is.
Too far away? Bro did you just get here. We've been waiting years...it's only too long if you're hitting refresh every few minutes.
Not like the time table has changed at all with this car...expect a 2019-2020 vehicle. More time for us to save for a down payment.
I think you are over estimating how capable autonomous driving is at the moment. We are far off from safe automated driving. And furthermore I think you are under stating how much the Supra makes financial sense. They aren't just making the car for "fun". Gas is cheap, the car helps their brand...
You're being intellectually dishonest to prove a point. Obviously you can automate a car for a track, but guess what we don't drive on a closed circuit track every day so we can't automate driving completely every day. The automatic transmission is faster than a manual and better for driving to...
Often the choice to have a manual comes at the cost of development money that could be better spent elsewhere on the vehicle. Manuals are slower than automatics now. I'll never for the life of me understand what attachment manual people have to pressing a 3rd petal since you can now control...
Base trim will have manual option, heard it here first folks. Maybe they'll also offer manual windows to give our manual shoppers an even more primitive experience XD
I can only infer from that that they are releasing a manual version. You wouldn't say something like that if they were only releasing automatic only as that is the assumed current state of affairs.
Well either way, I hope the manual people enjoy their outdated and slower transmission ;)
I like how it looks through and through. Reminds me of a dodge viper.
I like just about everything about the car, the fact that it's part BMW, it's power, it's weight, the zf automatic, Toyota's history of reliability, bmw interior, i6 engine, the fact that it's being built in the same factory...
Ya I agree about the nostalgia, but let's be realistic here. The old supra formula was not generating the revenue to justify it's existence.
However, this new formula may be economical enough to warrant the existence of the Supra for a lot longer. Whose to say they won't add HP/manual down the...
