I mean yes, I get that it isn't really a complete JDM vehicle. My S2000 lowered and on Volks that I had 17+ years ago is what got me started down the path and the MKV isn't that, but it is closer to that than my current C7. That said, I'll definitely drive one (the Supra with the manual)...

I've had a lot of sports cars over the years, some auto/dct and some manual. I've decided for myself--and it's not even close--that the fun and engagement from driving a manual transmission outweighs the performance advantages of an automatic. I am not chasing lap times and quartermile tenths...

Even if it as as much as .5 seconds in the quarter (which I don't think it'll be), my point still stands. I don't think people interested in a manual care if the auto will be faster. That's not the point.

I don’t know if most potential manual buyers are like me, but being 0.1-0.2 seconds faster in the quarter-mile or a second faster around a road course isn't at all the metric by which I shop for cars. Fast is easy nowadays. Your run of the mill Accord or Camry is probably faster than what we...

Unless Toyota adds something additional to the car and then calls it a "special edition" I think it's safe to guess it will be priced the same as the automatic Supras. If dealers decide to mark them up, that's another story. But the numbers don't really lie... automatic vehicles sell a lot...

Nice! I started out with a 4 door Honda Civic, but like you, virtually every car I've owned has been modded, at least with wheels and suspension and some far more extensively. I have come to realize modding is part of the fun for me. I'm a sucker for a set of Volks on a lowered JDM car. The...

Interesting cycle of cars. I don’t want to hijack the thread, but I've been kind of all over the map with sports cars as well. I fall into that category where I dreamed of owning the higher powered Japanese tuner cars back in the 90s and early 2000s, but when I finally got to the point where I...

Thanks. I totally understand why most car manufacturers are not bothering to develop manual transmissions anymore because the number of people who want them are dwindling. But, it wouldn't have been a huge stretch to put a manual in the A90. I surely hope the rumors turn out to be true and they...

I joined this forum today to agree with this post. And judging from the car in your avatar, we have similar tastes. I've owned over a dozen different sports cars over the years, but as a child of the 90s, I've always liked the Japanese car scene. I've had modded S2000s and Acuras, and they have...
