Agreed. When Toyota says it's building an affordable sports car, they definitely mean in relation to the money customers would be paying for competitors cars lol.

People with no understanding of the R&D that goes into building a brand new sports car from the chassis up: "I want a Porsche killer, with a manual, want it to look stunning and have the latest technology, but want to pay Camry money".....:crazy:

Lol, this thread is something else. I remember reading posts way back when I just wanted this car to come out (2015-2016). Everybody was anticipating this car and Toyota did what they had to do in order to get this car out to the market. After the reveals started happening, I remember...

Different market though. 86 was trying to market to the affordable sports car. An M powered supra would be the "GR" version. Limited numbers, higher price, etc. I personally don't think it would happen though. Toyota would then get that engine, perform even more R&D to make sure the engine is...

Because this is from a car enthusiast perspective. The average buyer (The ones that will be mainly purchasing the car) will be ordering in Manual. Sad truth man. But a majority of the market buys auto, and Toyota knows this. Just trying to save money wherever they can so that they can can sell...

I honestly don't mind it. If selling a 4 cylinder would allow this car to be successful and later on fund a GRMN track killer car, I'm all for it! There's a reason that Mustangs and Camaros offer low trims....gotta appeal to everybody and make as much money from the chassis to fund the fun stuff...

Hopefully with the GRMN version, we can change this to Japan haha

This will decimate all......:headbang::)

This. Thanks Guff, extremely informative as always lol. I appreciate the time you took to write this and things like the PASMO card are things that I am happy to hear about! Of course I'll be doing a bit more research, but it's always a pleausure hearing about where to go from guys that have the...

Thank you! I definitely appreciate the response and these are the kind of things I was looking for. I've heard of Daikoku, so that will be on my list and the Shinkansen sounds interesting as well! Anything to look out for when driving in Japan? Rules/Regulations? I know as much as left side of...

Hey @Guff or @A70TTR , I figure this would be the best place to post this lol. So I might have some time between positions and I was thinking about taking a trip to Japan to experience the culture and just visit overall. It would be my first time there and I would just appreciate some advice on...

:love::love::love::love::love: Boys, I think I've fallen in love all over again

They both have a steering wheel, 2 seats, a front windshield....can't you see it? The similarities are uncanny :rofl:

I've been under a rock....basically just focusing on work and the Supra hahaha. But damn that is amazing!!! I need to sponge up some information from the man himself!

Why am I just hearing about this now) : I picked up a 2006 STI that I wanted to make stage 2 plus e85 with a pro tune....sounds like JR would be the guy to contact....but I'm moving back to Washington State in about a month or so :(

Hey @Guff, do you know why Toyota didn't release any info on their involvement regarding the development process earlier? I feel like this would've saved a lot of arguments regarding "this is strictly a BMW sourced engine with no Toyota involvement". Or did Tada-San not think this would be such...

Thanks Guff, I enjoyed every second of this. I hope this kind of cools some jets, unlikely though since I feel that a majority of the negative vocal people are the same type to never admit fault. Just glad this is out there! ( :

This was mentioned a while back on the forum, but I'm sure a lot of the newer people that joined might've not been around to see those posts.

One of my favorite shots of this car. I can't get over those HIPS! :love: I'm stoked to see what a GRMN/Aftermarket version will look like

S1..... S = Upper upper class? haha :headbang::love:
