That thing is PAINFULLY ugly. Like a 1996 prelude with a shit body kit. And the bmw engine?!?! That is absolutely NOT how you follow up one of the most historically popular motors ever

most of the issues u read online regarding the BMW turbo 6 has to do with the N54, twin turbo straight 6 engine. the revised, twin scroll, single turbo N55 engine is a lot more reliable.

When the BMW engine blows.... so pretty damn soon lol.

I had my eye on one of these in the near future, but not with the BMW engine. Take away the reliability from a Toyota and what is it really?

first thing I looked for was for a hole in the firewall for the potential placement of clutch hydraulic bits in the production version. The hole for the brake booster seems to be placed very far to the left. Not looking good.

Then in turn, Supra is not a huge requirement for Manual fans.

As someone who used to own a MKIII JZA70 TTR 5MT and currently owns a MKIV RZ 6MT, clearly they are asking the wrong people in their market research. I've owned many Toyota cars and have been looking forward to the MKV since the MKIV was discontinued. I'm not rich but I'm at a point in my life where I can finance/lease a 60-70K second car. First of all, I think partnering with BMW was a mistake. BMW stuff falls apart almost immediately after leaving the show room. Some even earlier than that. I know this as a fact, I've owned every generation of M3 aside from the F30. Toyota should have subcontracted the engine to Yamaha like they always had. Second, no manual option guarantees the MKV as a dud. I know Toyota doesn't care about used car pricing as it doesn't really affect their profits. But if they look at the used MK4 market, real 6MT ones are selling at 2-3 times their AT counterparts. That should indicate something.

mkiv probably just went up in value a bit more from the no six-speed confirmation
