Make that 3 white with red leather I can't wait to finally spec it out! Realistically though, when the time comes around, will we be able to order one pretty easily or will I have to get a deposit down in advance?That's fine, if you can get a good deal, I'll fly up as well, and do the deal.

Just wait till about fall next year for the market to saturate..Make that 3 white with red leather I can't wait to finally spec it out! Realistically though, when the time comes around, will we be able to order one pretty easily or will I have to get a deposit down in advance?
At one point I expect you to start accepting that there will be no manual. This is reality. Accept it.Question is will the market saturate with this car?
Maybe for the boring automatic spec but on a manual light spec idk how available those will be.
You can make it 4x, haha!Make that 3 white with red leather I can't wait to finally spec it out! Realistically though, when the time comes around, will we be able to order one pretty easily or will I have to get a deposit down in advance?
NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.. Toyota will pull something out the bag at some point.At one point I expect you to start accepting that there will be no manual. This is reality. Accept it.
If the 500hp, 85k Super car slaying GTR market saturated in 2.5yrs after initial offering.. I have no doubt that a 330hp 60k car will be saturated in the market at a much quicker rate.
Not sure.. but Toyota will cash in on the name in the first 1/2yr at least. Then they’ll be parking lot anchors for sure. This will probably go down like the NSX .. 200k for a complicated 573hp.NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.. Toyota will pull something out the bag at some point.
330 HP 60K, i still don't know whos buying that...
The USDM Lexus ECUs had finally become tunable as of 2016. There are several ISF/RCF/GSF owners with tuned supercharger kits making over 550-600+ RWHP.My biggest issue with Toyota and Lexus of late, has been the tuneability of the ECU. I really believe if the ECU was tuneable or there was a EMS that could write over the stock ECU or replace it. That the potential of these motors could see a lot of aftermarket support. The F-series is hurting from that. If the Supra came the same way, it would definitely be DOA.
Yeah RR Racing has done great work on that platform, the problem is just that it took over a decade, not to say that that's of any fault of theirs, but rather just a result of the market. Not to mention that the CANBUS systems in cars today is far more expansive and complex than that of the ISF. I think we'll be hoping for a hail mary from Tada-san in terms of making tuners lives easy.The USDM Lexus ECUs had finally become tunable as of 2016.

They following in Toyotas footsteps with releasing their ecu tuning lol. From my understanding the GTR was supposed to be a locked type of ECU and somehow the key got leaked. Think HKS had it and then somehow ended up with Cobb. That's when the market and tuning really blew up for the GTR. Maybe we can hope for an ECU that's tuneable and dont have to get motec/syvecs/pectel.Yeah RR Racing has done great work on that platform, the problem is just that it took over a decade, not to say that that's of any fault of theirs, but rather just a result of the market.

Amen. This is critical. "Easy" ECU access is one of the reasons some cars are so popular for modding: Subaru/RomRaider, Mitsubishi/EcuFlash, Honda/Hondata, just to mention a few, allow for significant modifications without going to the cost and complexity of a standalone ECU.I think we'll be hoping for a hail mary from Tada-san in terms of making tuners lives easy.
This can not be underestimated for tuning. The MQB platform (VW and Audi) are one of the most popular and arguably the best for the money in the game right now. Interesting to note - The new RS3 has a less complicated ECU than a 2015 GTI. Where as something like a BMW is pretty much impossible to OBD flash, which is why we see the piggyback JB4 running the tuning game.I was thinking about it, and I wonder if the reason the car has some older tech (some posters were saying a generation behind) is because they used an older ECU architecture that has had more time to mature in the aftermarket.
Pure conjecture here, but I'm curious. This is something I have little knowledge of as it has been kept under wraps.
