The pillar that extends from the center console is there, it's just not as extreme and it's covered up. Also looks like they got the dash vents right. To be fair, it's always the concept car interior that is changed the most on the road to production. Designers always come up with some extreme...

"Toyota design" maybe but no one should expect any actual Toyota parts in the interior. This thing is being built in Austria, there won't be any mix and matching like with the GT86.

They did. http://autoweek.com/article/car-reviews/first-somewhat-brief-drive-lexus-ls-500 "We told you about the basics of the LS last week. But here’s a brief recap: It comes with only a V6 -- no V8, but the V6 is better than the V8 by almost every metric. The 3.5-liter longitudinally...

Agree 100%. I love inline 6s, I firmly believe they are the best engine design period (when things like simplicity, reliability, and smoothness are considered, and packaging constraints aren't as important). However, I would happily trade the new Supra having an inline 6 to get the entire car be...

Thats not quite how that went down as i I recall. I know the 93 TT was about 40, plus options. Then the Yen started diving and the 93 TT was kicking serious ass in the magazine comparos. So Toyota cranked up the price. By 96 though, partially thanks to the introduction of OBD2 taking out the...

Yup. Saw a 98 model on the dealer floor in 98. Black TT 6Spd with Turbo spoiler and chrome wheels. $79,999 Cdn.

I'm sure the manual from the new Z4 and the m4s will bolt right in, but good luck keeping the software happy. Maybe a full ecu swap from a Z4 will do it. Hopefully they will roll a proper manual out themselves though. Z4s aren't exactly super common at the local boneyards and the engine import...

Also keep in mind the jump in price over the previous model, and the gradual price increases over the years on the mk4. In the 90s the Supra was indeed perceived as very expensive. Its only the cars later in life aftermarket exploits, its appearance in F&F and its well earned reputation for...

maybe too powerful for a manual lol. I'm not sure that part translated right, I think he was just saying that with the power of this motor that maybe it is fun enough with a DCT or will be just as fun with a DCT (disagree on both counts). Also this didn't translate well either... "However, I...

Oh, the magazine's length is different! I thought you were going off the length Toyota released for the racing concept, I see your point now.

Programming, exactly. Yes you can program an auto to explicitly hold gears, or program a DCT to force shifts, but thats not the norm. 50lbs on a 2800lb car? Thats pretty huge. But maybe the DCT is worse, the M4 DCT version weighs 88lbs more then the 6 speed o_O But the power loss is...

I would never buy a slush box supra. A DCT is tolerable as it is essentially a manual transmission with servos and generally they are tuned so you can hold gears, but real slush boxes almost always will override your inputs in some occasion. Plus, they suck for launch control. Plus, they are...

Yes, Toyota posted those dims, but did they say they were for the Racing Concept or for the production car? They didn't, but since they are only showing the racing car I would say its safe to assume they are only for it. And the dims posted in the magazine article were probably leaks of what...

I'm not sure that is correct though. Tada-san has said the car has a slightly shorter wheelbase then the 86. Neither car has much for overhangs so I would expect it to be about the same length or less then the 86. Funny thing a lot of people don't know about Supras through the generations...

I think its going to be pretty comparable to a 370z overall. They shortened that car over the 350z too, and lost a little weight. Its short and squat, but looks pretty good. I think the new Supra, while it won't look much like the FT1 proportion wise, is going to be a really good looking car...

There didn't need to be a choice here. Both games could have had the license (as they've always had in the past), but either Toyota got greedy with the licensing fees for some reason as A70 is suggesting, or Sony worked another sneaky deal with Toyota where they got Microsoft and EA excluded...

Still, the new Z4 apparently has one so most of that will have been mitigated. Short answer, keep signing the petition!

Lame. Toyota should be paying Turn 10 to have their cars in the game. I guarantee other manufacturers have the foresight to recognize the value of this kind of marketing and brand association, and are making deals with Turn 10 to get more exposure. For instance I just got a free DLC upgrade in...

The "no mods" theory isn't so crazy when you think about it... http://money.cnn.com/2018/03/02/news/companies/toyota-self-driving-car-company/index.html You can bet your ass there will be protections in place to prevent people from modifying self driving cars. Still, the whole thing smells of...

Yup. Also don't forget Toyota introduced the manual option to the original is300 in subsequent model years, wasn't available the first year.
