Seriously doubt it. They're a very stubborn bunch who build exactly what they want but not necessarily what vocal enthusiast want.With all the silence and lack of news these days. Anyone else think Toyota is scrambling to add a manual transmission?
Just look at how the 86 situation turned out. From the start there was a huge backlash clamoring for more power that was met with BS excuses: a turbo won't fit, we'd have to completely re-engineer the whole car if we gave it more power, etc.
Now the cycle repeats itself with the Supra: our internal data says no one wants a manual, the car has too much power so a manual will feel worse, yadda yadda yadda.
Lack of a manual will be the MKV's Achilles heel just like lack of power and ridiculous torque dip are synonymous with the 86*. Especially if the Z4 some how has a 6 speed option.
*I love my BRZ but that's the general perception I see from non owners.
