When just a simple option such as tranny reflects so greatly in the used car valuation and worth of a vehicle such as a Supra as reflected in today's market.
I need not a focus group to tell me anything otherwise.
Automatic TT = 40K
6 Speed V160 = 60K
I do not want to hear excuses, reasons or...
If PR/Marketing in Toyota wants to change perception, I have a simple one theory solution...
Surprise the world scramble and give the Journalists early testers a revised V160 6 speed like manual tranny in the new Supra.
And rejoice as the public, the world, and the enthusiast dollars rolls in...
The 911 shines because its luxury & performance in a daily driveable setup out the box.
They have 17 different 911 trims for this very reason, something for everyone.
For the Supra Its coming from behind, its coming from left field, its coming from a brand that offers little driving excitement...
I'm talking about his reaction to the question.... There seems to be a chance, curious on what others thought of his reply. Didn't see a discussion on it on page 12.
Forgot where I read it, but Tada has been consulting with HKS for feedback on aftermarkets solutions and adaptability already for the Supra ahead of launch so thats good news.
On the subject of color...
Are we getting a decent color selections aside from the run of the mill black, white, silvers, ?
Fun colors would be refreshing..
After closer look, there is certainly enough space and looks like there is a chance.
Although it looks like getting into 1st would be annoying with that angled dash piece by the shifter.
Lets hope all that gets sorted with a Manual Tranny !
That exhaust sound when he went into 3rd, Damm!!
Also very sharp entry into turn one, I saw some streaming yesterday and many cars were cutting pavement into dirt to make the line...Supra really cut in and stayed planted out the apex.. Really Impressive look at the handing.
