That's what everyone is talking about. ;)

Yes, holding down the media power button works... that does the same thing and I've just become accustomed to doing that in my garage. Don't even think about it anymore - but it did freak me out a little at first.

Not initially I'm sure... maybe in a refresh, but Toyota seems to equate a manual transmission with "budget friendly" which the Supra doesn't really qualify for. Yaris, Corolla, Tacoma, 86 sure... but try to find one in anything over $35K and it's crickets. This statement pretty much sums it...

And not likely too much faster (at least in stock form that is)... but that interior is a massive step up! That was a sticking point on the BRZ for me... nothing but plastic as far as the eye can see. Really fun car to drive, but I just remember thinking "Suddenly the cheap interior in my 350Z...

You should go take a look and measure your hood again... they're behind the strut towers and almost entirely over the fender covers... only the inner ~3" intrudes into the actual engine bay - in the area just behind the struts (though the front edge would be very close). Unless you meant the...

The upside is that the more they sell, the more they have to actually commit to real support - and that will only help us... although the price of seeing many more on the road is a bit sad IMO. The real pitchfork-mob-creating moment comes in 2 years when they announce that they're "IS250-ing"...

You are correct at least in the production cars - though it's only one layer and has no structural reinforcement in those areas. The problem is solved by disturbing the air stream at the A-pillar. Pushing a turbulent air stream at a problem area is another common solution - and is all these...

I've had the rattle in the gauge cluster (or steering column or surrounding area?) a few times now. Weird thing is it's far from consistent, so I'm not going to even bother taking it to the dealership yet. I can guarantee it will behave perfectly until I get it back from them... and then it...

While looking at my car this morning I had a weird thought. I wonder if they had the intake and hood vents open when they were doing aero testing and early road testing? Not an expert in aerodynamics by any stretch, but since those fake hood vents are aimed down the A pillar for the most part...

Oh it looks absolutely fantastic on paper, slightly less amazing in photos, and a bit less than that even in person (IMO at least). If they wouldn't have had a strike, and would have made more allocations up front - I'd probably have gotten one instead of the MKV. However, considering they are...

I like on the sign the 4WD mode switch verbiage... "FR/RR base distribution" - so the engine moves depending on where you switch it?!?! o_O At least my whole life, the initial designation was the engine placement... not the drive designation. So more like FF/FR base distribution - but then...

If I'm ever in the market for a Yaris (which admittedly is unlikely at this point)... this is definitely the one I would get! :thumbsup:

While true, none of the past 10 I've owned were anywhere close to the same amount. I guess I'm "lucky" to live in a climate where it's very rarely nice enough to drive with them down - less lucky for right now to be one of those times however. ;)

I'm cautiously optimistic about the bavsound kit as well... at least that's a relatively inexpensive possibility.

Man you guys are making me really happy I went with a flat color (NY) instead of a metallic. Although, on the upside, if you get deeply discounted TRD carbon pieces (which you should IMO) - then they will look fantastic on your cars... while they would just look ridiculous on mine (again IMO). ;)

Yeah... because a factory manual option always costs $12K more than an auto option... well, with the exception of almost every car ever made. :crazy: Even it Toyota had wanted to gouge for the sake of profit-taking (or perceived prestige) I doubt it would have been more than about $1,500 as an...

While I get that it's a pretty inexpensive fix... it should be BMW/Toyota's fix... i.e. we should get new mirror mounts with the fins integrated into the factory cover plastic... not a stick on aftermarket solution. I guess there's another reason everyone who test drove the Supra at press...

Yeah, I'm seriously considering the sound proofing route considering how it sounded parked - at least the doors and the "bass tunnel" areas, though the floor would also be required for most improvement. It's really weird coming from my RC-F... while certainly not a champion system, the ML...

Yes. Actually it does have a bit of the JBL/Harman curve (~10dB slope). Part of the problem I think many have with the sound in the Supra, is that those trends are most appreciated at close to reference levels. Unfortunately, the system in the Supra isn't able to achieve those without...

If you did that by ear alone... you've got pretty good ears! :D I've got much more to do (like find a better sine sweep file that's not passed at 8K for one thing) but about all I see different is in the 500Hz where there seems to be a bit of a suckout (I added a +1 click there). Everything...
