Well, we will find out how that was handled later this month regardless, but don't be shocked if they are on there.
I don't think they're going to be F30 mirrors, but that they will be similar.
Have you seen the interior? BMW parts bin is being utilized for many of the smaller items on the car.
That said, the car I saw may have changed since August (unlikely imo, but could be).
Maybe just throw some FRS/86 mirrors on to appease people until we see what production shows.
get rid of the vertical vents under the headlights, connect the red air guides in the lower opening to the outer parts of the bumper instead of having them disconnected, extend the horizontal lip line out to the edges of the bumper, and put those BMW mirrors back on.
do that and you're doing...
I actually know Yaguchi too, and his developmental philosophy is even more towards not giving a damn about anyone else lol. He's actually my favorite engineer despite Tada being a cool guy.
But yeah, even aside from cars Yaguchi doesn't give a damn about anything or anyone. He's got a hot young...
Yes, this 100% happened and I was surprised as well. He went into more detail about what those issues entailed, but Getrag was just SUPER unhappy about the way Toyota handled things and felt like they were treated unfairly.
Like you said, contract was likely set to expire after 15 years (not...
Toyota and Getrag actually had a falling out during the mkiv era, and Getrag decided to not do business with Toyota for the foreseeable future pending the end of that contract.
I was made aware of this during the discussions for the new Supra when a TMG employee was showing us around some...
From what I was told, only a fraction of people buy manual in that segment versus something like the 86.. Do other manufacturers offer it? yes, but they arent Toyota.
I'd personally be fine with DCT, but not sure how I feel about a traditional auto.
Got a chance to looks up some stats and...
Chevrolet Corvette 1LT (base): 430 hp, $55k, curb weight 3440lbs
New Supra: ~400hp, 50-60k (so $55k for comparison), curb weight ~3100lbs
Unless I'm missing something, this looks like a winning formula to me.
During development, no, not even in the slightest. Before and after and development they do research and try to listen to popular opinions, but the reason they just came to the U.S. and did the meet and greet was to hear the ideas people think embody the Supra.
plenty of people said to make...
I think we can all agree that if it comes with over 400hp, that is preferred. Hell, I hope it's over 500 :D
Like the gentlemen below noted, time will tell.
