Doug was one of the very few people whom wasn't paid to perform a presentation on the new MKV - some of his comments were cringey but I wouldn't discard a lot of what his said (eg. no manual, low power, entire car being assembled at BMW, BMW interior etc).
One other thing that really struck a...
I hope you're right, but I'll guarantee you that it won't happen and be something that is released to the general public. I've learned to take Tada word at a grain of salt from previous builds/comments his made - no disrespect to him or his achievements.
Out of interest, does anybody know how...
Genuinely curious and uneducated in this department, what car has been released by Toyota that has later been re-established in later years with more horse power or a different transmission choice? I would have to agree with the previous person whom posted, there's a very slim chance that we'll...
What exactly is disrespectful? It's my opinion - same as you're entitled to yours. You clearly have no idea what you're taking about. How can you assume I am a regular car guy and label me as that? I could be Elon Musk for all you know. What you need to stop doing is using the excuse that these...
Just out of curiosity and i'll argue the context that this is incorrect. The MKIV in its standard form is an absolute weapon for a 20 year old car, I am not sure what MKIV's you drove in it's stock form.
Inline 6 twin turbo (sequential) which works extremely well if setup correctly...
It's a slightly modified BMW engine stamped with a BMW badge... literally. It can't be put any other way. I have no hate on the B58 engine or BMW in particular, but I can understand why people are hating - it's because they're wanting to buy something that reminded them of the 20th century...
Talking about the RZ - I'll guarantee that this car is no less than 100k AUD and no more than 130k AUD. There's absolutely no way the top trim spec (being the RZ) will be less than 100k AUD. Honestly, don't wait out if you think this is the case because you can just currency convert the price of...
Man, I hated you immediately after I read the first line - thinking *WTF IS HE TALKING ABOUT, KNOWS NOTHING*, then I read your send paragrap - saved yourself matey.
I'll be extremely surprised if Toyota introduces a manual or a targa variant. The original design doesn't accommodate for either, while changes can be made - the base 2020 model will not have the correct body structure (eg. sub tunel, required holes, loom etc). This will be a massive amount of...
I am just basing this on the MKIV structure as it shares an almost identical structure, however I believe the SZ-R will possible incorporate better features (eg. bigger brakes, better audio system and other additional features). Hence the difference weight, price, power etc. Pretty stupid if you...
I've grown up in the 90's and owned most jap cars produced in that era. In its standard form the A80 Supra was an absolute amazing car, to this day a healthy drive-train in that vehicle is exceptionally fun to drive. My stance on the overall vehicle is that the design looks good - I am not...
PerformanceSound, I honestly held back for most part based on having no real information/images. I've really wanted to 'like' this new so called Supra, however I am too far on the opposite end of even contemplating to purchase one. The mere fact here is that I've ultimately fallen in love with...
haha that's a bit over dramatizing the entire situation, but hey - I agree with you. Most new gen kids are learning to drive automatic - it's not like back in the day where parents would teach their kids how to drive a manual car since they'll have some old shit box laying around with a manual...
I ended up selling the 86 and going back to a MKIV Supra. Daily I drive a Toyota Camry. I love driving stick when I can, so the new Supra being automatic is a little bit disappointing but I'll give it a crack when its released to see if I like it, if I do I will wait for the GRMN model or a...
Had nothing to do with the power, more so the driving experience from factory *unmodded* - the old school AE86 was extremely fun to drive back in its era, the new school 86 wasn't simply my cup of tea. I also had countless issues with the fuel injection and the check engine light issues. To add...
I solely agree with SS900, I've owned an 86 - it was garbage. I don't care about the 'statistics' or the proclaimed weight ratio etc. You can't say that I don't understand 'Driving Dynamics' because I didn't like the vehicle. Never the less back on topic relative to the Supra interior.
yO MaNg, BmW SucKs. Tada-SaM iS KiNg.
How do you like that, coming from an older guy....

Back on topic anyway, car looks boss! I am really excited for the release.
Any reason why it's currently in the US? I am presuming it'll be presented to head of Toyota in the US?
I think more people are probably a little upset that Toyota hasn't developed this car on their own, rather used a BMW based power plant/engine/interior (based on the prototype), fake vents, no manual. Some people are pure brand haters and don't like BMW (I am not saying that's me), I really...
