They are actually so boring that, when they try to make an exciting car, they forgot how to make one and messed it up.

I'd take the Accord/6 any day over a Camry.
I maintain that the 300 BHP V6 is a waste in a Camry. That should be in the new Supra. Yeah, it's not an I6, but it's a powerful and reliable Toyota engine, not a BMW engine with stupid shit like no dipstick.
Now let's see how long Mazda will take to make a new rotary sports car...

I sold my MKIV too soon. The auto is not very engaging but otherwise a great all around car.
Even the MKIV TT auto prices are going crazy. A Toyota 6spd getrag will run about 15k since they are discontined. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1996-toyota-supra-2/

yep at least Honda kept the 3rd pedal on the new Type R
if it wasn't for Subaru, basically Toyota would have no manual transmission in their current North American sporty/sports cars afaik | |

how's the production model still not revealed yet
by the time it drops like the 86, it will only feel fresh for a year or two and gonna feel dated and stale not far into the generation and even a refresh won't help (unless they bump up the power by a reasonable margin)

And then happens throughout the development cycle.
For me, I don't like that way of doing things. I just got sick and tired of all the little updates. And like you said, by the time the car comes out, it already feels dated because you've been staring at the shape for the past 4 - 5 years.

The Supra is supposed to come with a stick. It is only the Z4 that is strictly automatic.
But who knows what kind of manual transmission will come with the car? A crappy tranny can totally ruin the driving experience.

Maybe there will be an edition with the engine from the Z4M (assuming there will be a new one)?
The thing that puts me off is the idea of having the speakers making the engine noise. That just ruins it for me.
My MKIV was stock, and people told me it was too quiet, but the engine noise (as opposed to the exhaust noise) sounded awesome inside the car when you were really on it.

If it came with the Z4 First Edition's engine that produces 382hp, people will probably accept its power more.

This car really isn't a supra. It has a BMW drivetrain, BMW electrics, BMW chassis, BMW suspension, BMW unreliability, and built by Magna Steyr. If anything, it should be called The new BMW Z4 Coupe styled by Toyota. I have zero interest in the car now that they have confirmed no manual. However, I am very interested how fast it falls apart 2-3 years in, right at the tail end of warranty.
