I can easily envision scenarios where BMW would be all-too happy to put a previous-gen S motor in a Toyota. Maybe the compensation is more than money... Maybe Toyota is also helping BMW with hybrid technologies.

Toyota is 100% helping BMW with hybrid tech along with hydrogen tech. With how behind BMW is with pushing hybrids, Toyota has great leverage in this scenario. It may dilute the M brand, but that is a small price to pay for keeping up with tightening emissions regulations.

Also, at around 100k, that’s a tough sell. |

Right? That V10 was the epitome of reliability and cheap maintenance.

As a previous 6MT RX-8, 350Z, and FRS owner, a 6MT will be the only way I’ll be a Supra owner. I don’t quite understand why they would put a M-DCT in the limited edition Supra. The next generation M3/M4 is using the ZF 8 speed so will BMW continue production of a DCT simply for a Toyota? Someone explain this to me. |

Had a bit of time today and passed a Toyota dealer here in town that has had a 2020 on the lot forever. The price is really good too, they want $47k for it. Having only seen ONE of these on the road in all this time, I just had to know how the thing drove so I stopped in for a test spin.
I really had no desire to buy the car (unless it somehow just blew me away) so I didn't waste much of the salesman's time, just took it for a quick drive. I'm 6'4 and 235, and was instantly turned off by how little vision there is in the car. You feel like the roof is collapsing in on you, and yes I had the seat all the way down.Your vision is so obstructed, it's like being in a pillbox or something.To your left and straight head it feels like you lose 20% of what you'd see in a normal car, I couldn't believe how obstructive it was. The blinds spots were EPIC, I don't think I've ever been in a worse car regarding vision out of the thing. Needless to say I drove it about 3 miles total, a complete disappointment and with the vision as terrible as it was I didn't even get to test out the performance much. It felt like I was staring at the ceiling and upper door frame more than the road. With that being said, it felt like a very solidly built car and is actually pretty attractive in person I must say. If you're a younger person with a nice job and a bit of money to throw around, I think it's a great choice especially at that price point. You just need to be smaller in stature, I can't imagine anybody over 6 foot would ever find that car comfortable. Compared to my MKIV back in the day, that thing was awesome in regards to room/space. |

I'm still working out what my next vehicle is going to be but right now it's between an M340i, or a Supra + beater.

The Supra has flaws, but it’s honestly still one of the better sports cars you can buy today. A MT option would make it killer. I’m guessing the MT likely comes on the 4 cyl though. But, if they give the 4 cyl a limited slip diff with the manual, that’s actually a pretty awesome combo.
