I think 2027 will be the last MY for the current car , after that maybe a 6th gen will happen or a facelift? We have along time ahead of us till then though so things could change.I would hope it’s not until after model year 2030
My thoughts on that comment by Tada-san from whatever interview it's from:Tada said this gen will be the last Supra, as it will be the last petrol-powered car, and a Supra must be petrol powered.
This is very interesting! Thank you for relaying your impression about how the ZF8 feels!Furthermore, I have 3x manual Supras (all cars, C63 aside, have been MT) and have the A90.
Funnily - I don't miss a manual in it at all. The ZF8 works really well and sometimes.... how do I explain this....
I am approaching a corner and begin to panic a little as I haven't downshifted/clutched in.... my brain says I should do this.
This is more to do with the feel of the A90 - I had never ever done this in my C63 or older Mercedes (AT)
In fact, it's the first AT car I've ever felt this in. It's quite bizzare.
I guess my point is - there is a surprising amount of tactile feel and engagement in the current A90 - and that's coming from 450whp A60 MT, 400whp A70 MT and 550whp A80 6MT owner
With Nissan’s new 400Z coming soon (which will be available with a manual), Toyota/BMW will grab a manual trans from the BMW parts bin (an M2 manual trans??). 2022 will be a great year for many car makers in terms of sports cars.Autoblog is saying no MT for the new 4 series.

That has to be expected, but what wasn't expected was how large the car is. 189 inches long wtf. That's longer than the LC500.Autoblog is saying no MT for the new 4 series.

Press release says 187.9 on the 430i & 188.0 for the M440i xDrive. Maybe its getting bigger because BMW is about the pull the plug on the slow selling 8 series.That has to be expected, but what wasn't expected was how large the car is. 189 inches long wtf. That's longer than the LC500.
The 8 series isn't selling because it is roughly the same size and has similar trims as the outgoing 6 series but by giving it an 8 instead of a 6 they thought they could an additional $30k. I don't know why they need to compromise the 4 series to make up with their pitfalls of the 8 series. Just call the 8 series coupe the 6 series again and call it a day.Press release says 187.9 on the 430i & 188.0 for the M440i xDrive.
