1. Cheap in what sense?
2. Everyone considers that the best Corvette, so no arguments there
3. MK4 had it too
1 Cheap by putting a Supra name on BMW and lazy too, this project was based on cost cutting, They tweaked few things but they didn't build it.

2 That was in the 90s, The power figures got better with C6 then C7, The A90 power figures didn't change much from 25 years A80,
yeah it wasn't in production all this time, but they honestly they had no choice as BMW Z4 power figures is positioned below certain models from their lineup, Toyota cornered themselves here.

3 What I meant is offering Auto only which is also part of the cost cutting doesn't excites me and many others, mistakenly some people think this will trickle down to the sales price.

LCF is coming out soon, look forward to that. Though, I think the V35 will not be used in that either.



1. Ehhhh
2. I see nothing wrong with that.
3. That's been discussed. Having a manual to handle the engine's power and potential power from mods would cause the price to hike up due to the exotic materials needed.
Sigh

1)but they inspected it to ensure that the parts were good...because they know too well what happens when they get a part from Germany
2) Exactly, it wasn't in production all this time
3) Great AT either way

1) Thats cost cutting and lazy, the chief engineer is known for making vans, and he never made a sports car on his own, always asking by collaborations, worst is he is using the iconic Supra name on his project, Mr Akio is to blame for approving this mess.

2) So you agree its underpowered.

3) Manual is great too.

Based on everything I've learned so far (including this car's ability to be easily tuned for far more than its stock power level with a stout engine), I'm excited for this car on all fronts except that it's currently automatic-only. Hopefully that won't remain the case over the course of the entire model run.

Everything else though has so far been very promising IMO.

@A70TTR, Oh snap!

There are more examples out there but I am not going to chase it all down for you.

And btw, you didnā€™t answer my question.

So youā€™re all about ā€œfactsā€ but yet quote probably one of the least credible media outlets?
