The MT rate for the F80 M3 is about 30%, idk about the M4. I guess that would be right about where a "MT Supra" would be as well. Agree, no arguments there. The more the merrier.Makes sense the M2 gets a manual, that's their entry level M car, kinda what the GR86 is for Toyota. BMW is just a more costly entry lol. Next few years will be great for car enthusiasts. New Z, New GR86, New STI, Supra refresh, New Lotus, another GR model, New Boxster/Cayman. Gonna be great.
Yeah, maybe if this thing had the typical 8-10 yr life cycle. Then maybe I think there could possibly be a chance. I would think the only other transmission offering would be the DCT in the rumored GRMN model. The thing is everything seems to be an afterthought when it came to the development. Like the 2.0 didn't start until half way into the testing of the 3.0. Tada said manual prototypes of the Supra didn't take place until after or near product launch. I'm just saying if Toyota was serious about a manual they would have test mules with a stick on day one and not almost half a decade after the initial planning and testing phase.Same here, I think it's just way too late in the product life cycle for any major changes. There are only 3 model years left before production ends. I doubt Toyota would pour $XXX into R&D for just a 20-30 percent return rate on a niche product.
