nah, I mentioned it the other day as something that would be cool, but AFAIK it's not a thing.

lol, they all sound pretty bad... IMO, the best V6 sound atm are the current 3.5L 2GR platforms.

the Toyota engineers that I spoke with said many components tested met Toyota targets, but that there were those that didnt. those that didnt were sent back to BMW with failure analysis and changes were made. the updated components were then tested again until they met targets. Toyota does not...

it was confirmed on Monday actually, but there was probably a lag due to TAS, language barrier, and maybe because everyone cares more about the I6.

as someone that has been working on turbo tech, a large component of it has to do with heat, added complexity, and overall reliability. those items for sure affect the decision to switch over, but given fuel economy and emissions targets I think we will start to see a shift more and more.

from my perspective, about 80% of the comments on social media are about all the things people dislike about it. the remainder are mostly positive, but the level of negativity is something else. I feel for Tada, but the prognosis atm isn't great IMO.

It's painful to say the least.

I think both of those are plausible and not necessarily mutually exclusive.

the standard Supra is a GR trim car above the GR Sport trim level as-is. there is only GRMN above the current placement...

that im not sure of; I never asked, nor did they specify other than to say regular tires.

interesting... time to remove the filter then lol

7:43.8; that's a world of difference :) plus, it has VTEC yo

Well, from a global perspective, I guess that would make less sense given the 4cyl price points. Even then though, we're still talking a decent price delta and a non existent factor in North America.

Yeah, most things marketing/sales I understand, albeit begrudgingly, but this particular line of thinking is off IMO.

You'd be surprised who's on here; they don't read everything of course, but there is a presence. ^ "Tada explained that the potential for a manual Supra is complicated by the positioning of the 86, which, of course, offers a stick shift. "I don't want to sound too business-y, but I also need...

I believe for this it's sound through the speakers, but with the 86 it was soundtube so thats a good point.

latest motortrend Supra vs Z4 article says the former weighs 3300lbs and that the latter is 3385lbs. More confusion...

yes, it does have sound through the speakers (this was in an interview as well), which I understand was introduced in general due to EU sound regulations or something. regardless, it does also have an exhaust valve.

I have always had little info on the 4cyl cars unfortunately. Even when I was working on the project I practically never heard anything about it. It was always about the 6 cylinder. For a while, I even had doubts if they were a thing. But yeah, I won't be of much help unfortunately. If I...

Aside from missing half the interior, possibly Lexan windows, lightweight racing seats and wheels, slicks, and race pads... Sure, mostly stock :rolleyes:
