Italics bold emphasis mine. This sounds a lot more like the buyers who got these models new with a manual transmission are overwhelmingly keeping their cars longer than buyers of the same cars that were originally bought with automatics who tend to get bored with their purchases sooner and more...

Fingers crossed for this in the MKV.

McGeorge Toyota is great for ordering parts. So is Elmore Toyota and if you want OEM parts direct from Japan if the shipping works out, Amayama. Although with the latter you there is currently no EMS shipping option so the only reliable carriers you can request with their orders (for the...

I will pick up a copy and check it out, thanks!

If Yamaha had any hand in the development of the TBD Mazda Skyactiv-X inline six engines it is news to me. I have not read anything attesting to that at all. To the best of my knowledge those Mazda I-6’s were 100% done by Mazda. Now if there has been further development of that engine...

Beautiful! I like that shade of gray. How has its driving feel been growing on you so far?

I’ve undoubtedly seen yours briefly at some point on the road then. There aren’t but a small few in Brevard.

So long as Toyota and/or Yamaha actually get involved in the engine co-development or revisions I also like the potential of the Mazda Skyactiv-X 2.5 and 3.0 inline sixes. Assuming the end result is a closed deck block, high flowing cylinder head, one or more turbochargers and an emphasis on...

At least the V8TT is still going to finish and be used in some form. Hopefully with a good transmission.

Apologies then. And I am also curious about the same.

^^ The naming of this transmission (V16) is confusing but there is no way it is longitudinal in a small hatchback with a transverse engine. Toyota has displayed the chassis-less entire drivetrain which shows it is a transverse transmission. What I’d like to know is how related its R&D is to...

Oof... tough one. Okay well... if we're talking about a Supra then if the option for a really well designed (preferably over-designed for tuning strength) legacy style inline 6 turbo engine is available I'd prefer it. Personally I love inline-six engines. However... excellent performance V6...

I just know I am very interested in Toyota’s partnership with Mazda and their Skyactiv-X inline sixes and their RWD semi-luxury/semi-sport platform : ) Also Toyota’s solid state battery R&D.

Would this mean the GR86 will eventually become a 48V mild hybrid... which is still by its nature capable of using a conventional 6-speed manual transmission? Or might it become a full hybrid by then? Or would 2800lbs be impossible in such a configuration? I hope it remains non-hybrid or only...

^^ I’m fine with learning with learning A100 details in whatever time is the right time. I don’t think anyone here wants to upset delicate politics in any way. We’re just enthusiasts and fans and cannot help but be as passionate as we are about what’s coming. Personally I am interested in...

I hope you're right. The only problem with that is if it is not model year 2022 but actual year 2022 (meaning a 2023 model) for such an offering that means there would only be three production years left in the A90 before it is retired. Here's hoping your prediction comes true for model year...

Um... people buy an 86 6MT because it's fun to drive with a stick shift. Oh, and despite its size it does have a modestly practical back seat and a trunk. Do most wish it had 250hp and 200 ft-lbs of torque via a turbo? Of course they do. But it's still a fun little driftable RWD sports car...

Even having read all those details before it's just sad. I of course prefer the Supra twin but the Z4 isn't a bad car at all. More crossovers and CUVs for everyone I guess... <insert Triumph the insult comic dog catch-phrase here>.

New SC/Soarer perhaps? : ) it would make sense if the core driveline is shared with other Toyota sports models.

I was thinking this or possibly the next-gen IS powered by Mazda’s hybrid inline-six. Mazda definitely has a reason to partner and share costs on their future RWD I6 coupe and sedan models, so there is that...
