| Lexus LFA *OFFICIALLY* confirmed for production by Toyota.
Quote: |
I recently took a turn behind the wheel of the Lexus LF-A supercar during a 24-hour endurance competition in Germany on one of the world’s toughest tracks. It was a great test for me and a good way to improve an exceptional car that we will soon bring to market.

And to that point, I am happy to announce this morning that Toyota plans to build an exciting...fun-to-drive...affordable sports car and launch it within the next few years.
I am very excited about it...and I plan to fast-track it.
| The guy drove the LF-A and was happy about having a sports car in Toyota, so he's gonna fast track that Subaru-Toyota love child i.e. the next AE86.
Nothing to do with LF-A as far as I can tell.

Manual transmission is becoming obsolete. Almost all modern trucks no longer come in manual transmission. all auto.
