Key notes taken:
I guess, as they certainly feel, there’s no shame in that. I did ask if reliability was a concern—it’s not unfair to wonder if a BMW engine will be as bulletproof as a Toyota engine—but was told that it’s covered by the usual Toyota warranty, so that should be enough (although...
Lotus uses Toyota motors because (as crazy as it sounds) Lotus (and much of any British brand nowadays) is not very profitable....and British motors are crap in general in the reliability department. They are barely staying afloat. If Lotus or McLaren get to a point where they are as...
Let's get something straight here bud, Toyota and Lexus (although under one bank) are two different companies.

Yup...and when real DNA is apparent in a brand.
Remember folks, Nissan was barely hanging on when they decided to build an all new R35 in-house....and Toyota is the third largest car maker in the world when they decided to collaborate with BMW. Let that sink in for a second people...
I never said the car will have a DCT...nor am I trying to convince myself of anything. If I did say the car will have a DCT, show me my post where I said that. I said, that since we know from Tada that there won't be a manual transmission and that he never ruled out a DCT, is a true auto...
I know it has been mentioned many times, but just like a bunch of other things that have been mentioned many times, I only take into consideration or believe information from Tada's interviews or official Toyota releases. No offense to A70TTR, he sounds like a straight-up guy....but, I...
