gearing isn't enough, it would still need several hundred pounds taken off the speculated weight from the magazine...nearly 3,300 pounds for a smaller 2 seater coupe isn't a good look..

indeed...not looking forward to the day when autonomous drivers look down upon us barbarians who drive our own cars...solidsamir will probably be part of that group since it gets to his destination "faster" :s

naw, you're being unfair by keep trashing on how outdated manuals are and how you don't understand them. it ain't for you, we get it, but a lot of us love them, leave it at that and end of story... if you think a perfectly executed downshift in a manual trans = the same feeling and...

...and you don't think that is the case with having 2 levers that are directly connected to the mechanics of the car? I play guitar & piano, it is a very comparable feeling switching from analog to digital. They don't feel the same to play despite the notes being the same.

...no one who likes manuals really cares about this fact as this has been true for at least a couple decades now. i get manuals trans aren't everyones cup of tea but you get to directly control and feel mechanical and analog parts, it requires more effort and therefore gives a higher...

could very well be but i think that might still be a non-official rendering...where is the wing mounted in the render going? toyota's teaser makes it pretty clear it sits on the trunk but the visible mount seems to just disappear behind the car in the magazine. personally i think that...

probably because as we all assumed, the magazine is merely speculating/hyping this up for more readers.

yes I agree, I'm positive there are plenty of current Lexus owners/lovers that are interested in the Supra...I'm not talking about any brand image/issues...let me put it this way, if the Supra turns out disappointing for such enthusiasts, I sincerely doubt the majority of them would instead go...

..just use logic, what is the cheapest performance hybrid out there? NSX..it uses 3 electric motors for an additional 79 HP and god knows how much weight...we aren't going to see significant hybrid performance for under 6 figures for quite some time, let alone $60 K. The recent GR Super Sport...

I'm not sure how the Supra caters to the same crowd. I get there are plenty of Lexus fans that would be interested in the Supra, but admittedly the Supra is traditionally more inline with the BMW type of enthusiasts than Lexus ones. Still wish there was more of a compromise to try and cater to...

..if it is merely the bottom end that Toyota uses then I would consider it a more Toyota than BMW engine.

..until we can verify the weight + torque figures the rumors so far don't mean much

at least they bothered to put rain gutters on the FT1 :headbang: progress

then it wouldn't be a legend "returning" :confused: im sure the geneva reveal will be akin to the FT86II release..they still call it a concept but it will probably be very close to production, just minor differences.

sounds like a 1st world problem :D

..but this isn't a technological showcase whereas something like the LFA is akin to the 2000GT, showing the world what they are capable of if money is no object. ..wasn't this what we were all expecting especially considering how Toyota/Subaru kept referring to their 86 releases as concepts...

:confused: as in this won't be the bargain many folks had hoped for?

I would be shocked if they named it 2000GT or 3000GT...confusion with Mitsubishi's halo coupe & to be fair, don't think the F&F generation really cares or even knows about the original Toyota GT..

...so you think it is a 2000GT with a 3.0? lol

exactly, 2000GT was already revived with the LFA.
