Manual for sure. For me, there is no question. I honestly could care less about the engine. Give more than 250 hp at least, but definitely want a great feeling car to drive and a great looking car before all else.
I'll think they'll for sure add rev matching because of what tada said about "anyone can drive this car" and believe they will continue that mindset with the manual. The new corolla has rev matching, but you can turn it off!
@McWicked My point was being that more halo cars on the road, the better. It's not as cut and dry as selling corollas or gt86s. These Supras are loud, fast, and good looking mobile advertisements for Toyota.
They may not make a profit on selling manual, but its a further investment into their...
It will get more Supras on the road though. And one purpose of this car is to be a halo car. Hell I thought about buying the new corolla hatchback for the time being. Never would have thought that without the Supra.
Unfortunate and doesn't seem true at all. They're at completely different price points.
I have written a letter but it's not good enough. I'll keep working on it..
I would look at it from a simple point of view. Given the same parts, and what? at least two or three years of development? who would you put your money on? Toyota or BMW?
The Supra may (keyword may, I believe they went to the moon and back pushing these parts to their breaking point) not be...
Agreed. Maybe if I have some time this week, and have as much passion and emotion as it would need, I'll write a letter directed at Toyota. If you all believe in it as much as I do then we can sign it, maybe send it out to a couple organizations like drivetribe, etc. for more exposure, then send...
Yeah wanted to post something on lines of what you said. We have to play this smart. We have to get as many people to back whatever way we choose to convince Toyota to offer a manual.
Like many have said, they can't possibly build a drivers car and not offer a manual. I see a world 30+ years in...
I think brace next to the gear selector adds to that as well. But I agree I thought it would be more centered. Its hard though, these are only pictures. You can really only gauge that when you sit in it. Some supra drifter said it was like a jet cockpit so we will see.
