‘Nope, he’s horrible. I can’t watch any of his videos. It’s some kind of weird forced robot persona - no one talks like that. After watching Matt, Jason or dude from savagegees, there’s no way I could sit through Doug. Even the engineering explained guy with the s2k does better car videos.
Interesting! I don't know if it's a 2023 thing, a Japan thing, a pre-production thing, or some other thing, but the trim at the top of the wheel well is totally different than on my car:
Good catch! It looks like a splash guard of sorts. Its like ZL1 rock guards, after awhile your don’t even see them anymore.Interesting!

The underside of my hood gets pretty dirty there, so maybe it's a mid-lifecycle change to address that? Frankly, I'd rather have an occasionally dirty hood than that trim continuously sticking weirdly out.
Also, that panel gap at the front of the hood looks less than great. It's not just that the hood isn't fully closed, either; the hood and the front bumper have different lines.
That trim is required by law in certain markets. Not here, so we don't get it.Interesting! I don't know if it's a 2023 thing, a Japan thing, a pre-production thing, or some other thing, but the trim at the top of the wheel well is totally different than on my car:

This and the front exterior pics seem to confirm no radar or active cruise control. The buttons on the wheel seem to show standard cruise only.
Would be perfection, I'd also lose an arm in the process
It’s a GR transmission that will not be shared with any other car. As I stated numerous times in the past, Toyota wasn’t satisfied with the BMW gearboxes throughout their extensive testing, so they “re-engineered” one specifically for the MKV Supra.
You did state this before and I'm glad they actually carried the development through to production, finally. Here's hoping that the gearsets they chose for it are quite strong and durable well beyond stock power and torque.
So did this new manual pass the Toyota test?
