This. It was essentially the same thing with the RC-F... got mine and then they announced the "track edition" - though at a decent jump in MSRP. However, unlike was the case with that... I really enjoy driving my Supra ever day. It's faster in every way, more comfortable as well, and it was...

What would be nice is if Toyota offered a consolation (note that I don't even remotely believe this will happen) to the MY20 owners and do similar to what Intel offers in CPU overclocking support. In other words, you hand Toyota an extra ~$1-2K... and they cover every factory part regardless of...

True, but Toyota couldn't give less of a shit about that I think. They're in the money-making business... and the Supra definitely isn't selling as well as I think they thought it would. Putting it into an even higher bracket power-wise, with a cheaper 4C version to try to pump the units sold...

Neither. The lawyers will work all that out themselves. If there was a major depreciation hit from this, you can likely expect another class action like there was with my IS350 which dumped value after the car-mat-fiasco. Don't really agree with that, but it's the reality of the world we live...

I can't say I'm surprised at this at all, Toyota has a long (well since the 90s) history of shitty moves... and, IMO at least, also shitty cars. I would expect MSRP to move at least 3-5K upward, which will hurt depreciation somewhat... but since the BMW-ness isn't a secret - it was always going...

I'll definitely be giving that a test. Still think there's something in the steering column itself or around gauge cluster - to me it sounds like maybe a harness connector not solidly zip tied or sleeved maybe. Don't notice until rough road... then it gets annoying. However, your fix is dirt...

Very interested in this install process... hopefully you'll be taking lots of pictures!

Possibly that's the reason for the delay in introduction... pricing position. Although anyone cross-shopping will likely be different customers (after a test drive at least). Those that want something for driving won't be looking at an RC300 after they drive one - those porkers are useless for...

I think his point is more that you are (spooling already) on the stock turbo. You're correct that as a rolling drag car or dyno-queen this is superior without question... as a DD I would expect it to feel decently less responsive vs. stock however. At the least the "nearly instantaneous...

I think the interior might seal the deal with many potential buyers (especially female ones). Subaru definitely builds a decently appointed interior, especially compared to similarly priced compacts, but it's not in the same league as a BMW interior. Of course, some of those points will be...

Yep. In most cases it seems due to very slightly improved fuel economy figures. I'm always stupefied by this as I can't imagine if that is your primary reason for selecting a car why you'd want a ICE as opposed to electric - and why you'd even be looking at a heavier luxury model in the first...

I can't imagine that there could be a manual option, at least not this soon... if there was they'd have just released an "extra special launch edition" or something. As far as the pricing aspect... while I agree with you personally, there are an amazing number of people that literally buy up...

:rofl: Holy shit that would be horrible! Though still better than my wife's 2015 RX350 F-Sport... which ironically had no sport mode and would alternately lose traction (1st & 2nd) and drive like a diesel tractor (3rd-8th) with the same pedal travel. At least it had paddles which got me...

Well, it's very similar to the behavior present in almost any area of consumer goods, politics, etc. these days. The amount of time spent by gamers and overclockers debating Intel vs. AMD (or Nvidia vs. AMD) is enough to likely have eclipsed the man hours spent by the engineers at all three...

I wonder if the beautiful but ridiculously expensive Eventuri intake would be much better. I would think not worse but I wonder if any better (looks notwithstanding of course).

And the winner for most ironic post of 2020 goes to... :rolleyes: Yep I considered it as well... I have a long and mostly good history with Honda also... but then I thought, as a middle aged man, could I really see myself driving that around? If you're going to have people comment about your...
