👣 Official: Toyota Announces Manual Transmission Supra!

[Vroomin350]

I'm not sure you know what this word means. Show me the PR, until there is a PR, it's a rumor--even if internally true, and decidedly not confirmed by Toyota.

True. Let’s just wait and find out.

The targa roof, now that’s a myth.

I feel like many people, not in here, that are "waiting" for the manual Supra are people who wouldn't own one anyway lol.

I was at a meet last week and some 18 year old was scream-talking to me about I WORK AT TOYOTA AND HAVE SEEN THE PAMPHLETS, DID YOU KNOW THERE'S A MANUAL VERSION COMING OUT?!


That's my post. That's what I have to add. ??

Agreed ?

I'm a waiter. My husband has a 94 already and I've loved MKIVs since I was a teen, but just cannot justify the insane markup in pricing over the last few years. Parts are scarce and so overpriced. So many of our friends have MKIV money pits. God forbid if anything major went wrong - I'm not a risk taker lol

So... I turned to the MKV back when I joined here a few years ago. I promptly left when no manual was announced, but no other car moves me quite like the Supra. Sounds silly but I've had stupid cars most of my adult life unlike many of the enthusiasts on this board I imagine. I didn't learn to drive manual until I got my Miata a few years ago so the novelty hasn't worn off for me yet. I guess that's why it's been a non-negotiable for me. I just love manual shifting and the coordination of it all I guess.

That said, if Toyota decides to play with my emotions and pull the manual idea, I'll probably still buy the auto anyway. I'm growing pretty impatient by the day.

its probably coming based on the pics/vids and confirmation by all those within Toyota. with that said i think everyone needs to chill and stop going at each others throats until we see a press release with official info.

Will the 2.0 look different from the 3.0?

The one I “heard” about has CF around the knob and leather/soft rubber down the middle facing the driver. GRMN maybe??

 

[Zupra1776]

Has anyone here driven a newer BMW manual?....they shift like $hit. No soul, rev matching up and down, snappy clutch.... I'll stick to my auto. (Never thought I'd say that after owning more than a dozen manual vehicles.)

Edit, my last car was a 2020 STI, had a great transmission, shifted well, just made zero power.

speaking of CF it doesnt look like any of these test cars have it around the iDrive dial

I’ll be curious long term in the future if the manuals will hold value more so than the zf like the mkiv has.

 

[gymratter]

compare to EAG swap

This is what I've been wondering since these rumors started

 

[2JZ-No-Sh*t]

Anyone else noticed how the interior was redone to accommodate the stick? It looks like that bar piece is either gone or has been pushed way back.

This isn’t what the shifter looks like in the video either of the manual

it looks the same to me. it even has the silver bar thingy holding up the screen and even the buttons are in the same places.

Looks same to me.

Welcome back, haven't seen you online in nearly 2 years now.

I am starting to feel like everyone is in Denial.

This feels like deja vu all over again with the 2020 vs 2021 model.
