DCT or bust. If they can actually get an automatic to make a crisp, instant shift when I pull a paddle, then maybe I'd consider it. But right now nothing beats a dual clutch box.

As everyone else said, depends on price & performance. A BMW engine is not a bad thing except for out-of-warranty service and thus resale value. It would be a new vehicle purchase for me so it would be under whatever Toyota warranty is applicable. I would not plan to keep it forever, but if...

If it is just a Z5 vs Supra it's really two different cars for two different markets. People cross shop everything but those appeal to seemingly completely different buyers, so one shouldn't hold the other back. Also, they will always be able to charge more for the BMW product even if it's...

Do we know what red the FT1 was? Also I think that graphite was not a MKIV color. Hopefully they'll have a big palette, more than typical Toyota at least. And pray to gawd that they let you actually order a car instead of dealing with whatever gulf states toyota says you want.

That would be a cool car. They could still do it later but they didn't with the last model Z4. Did the Z4 Coupe sell well? That's probably the answer to that.

Price wise the news and reports are completely conflicting. When FT1 launched, we saw the gran turismo specs and we heard the CALTY engineer saying it was designed with a budget in the $50s in mind. Subsequently the news has trended toward a much slower, less performing car but an even...

Really loved the FT1 concept from the start, watched all of the coverage of the concept, read every article about it, about CALTY, spent hours on this forum and its predecessor, etc. I even kept up with all of the pre-FT1 rumors dating way back to before 2000 on supraforum and whatnot. I like...

Kinda strange article. It's reporting the silver car as if it's something new. I think they're talking about the old car.

:( :( :( Time will tell.

From the beginning it was supposed to be a 2+2 in the way a 911 is a 2+2.

Car is obviously wearing a ton of cladding. Enough to throw off the true lines of the car. Essentially everywhere there are those rivets, there is body cladding underneath to give it curves, extra bulbous size where there is some smoother line underneath.

Toyota has unveiled new models which turn up on dealer floors a few months later. It's possible. But yeah we won't see this car in customer hands until late 2018, as a 2019, at best. Would love for us to be proven wrong.

I am still waiting on something more official before casting judgment. Leaked documents, build sheets, press releases, whatever. Something real more than just "I heard" or "dealer said" etc. Almost anything a dealer employee tells you, be it salesman or manager or otherwise, is bullshit...

I have a little sticky note on my monitor that TMS is Oct 27th. :D I prob stop by maybe monthly these days.

That's the big if. Regarding purchase after launch, it should only take 4-6 months before you can readily find cars without markup. Ford Raptor and NSX are pretty good recent examples. If you shop hard you can even order a Raptor at a discount from MSRP. Acura I suspect will be offering...

Would love to see a hi-po Z. Makes sense that they'd move the Z upmarket to fill the gap left by GTR, which should also move upmarket by 2020. And yeah, Mazda doesn't have the money to produce a sportscar.

I'd rather be patient and order one at invoice :D

Yeah I don't see this coming out this year. Maybe TMS in October, for a 2018 launch. Hopefully it's worth the wait.

It shouldn't be another Supra concept at Tokya, it should be the real-deal production car. If they continue to stretch this with another concept then the relevance of the car will diminish even more than it already has. For real. :P If all of the rumored horsepower figures are true, then...
