Hey, David! How do we contact you? We sent an email but never got an answer. Could have gone to spam due to we left our email & phone number. I sent another on the way to work now. Same name. Thank You. As for the Supra manual, I think it was long overdue not sure if anyone said anything during the first batch about it being auto. I thought they would have made it one because they do have other cars in manual or you can request them in manual as you can with Honda.

Hearing that Toyota almost immediately began work on a manual transmission in response to customer's asking for it matters more to me than them actually making a manual Supra. It shows that Toyota is paying attention, and is responding to consumer feedback. Now we just need them to ramp up planned production numbers on the GR Corolla and crack down on markups.

Production numbers are set and dealers will be allowed to markup the limited number of cars they get....markup is 2 to 5k for a regular corolla already....GR will 10 to 15k markup easily

Toyota and all manufacturers don't care about consumers or enthusiasts. They care about profits and shareholders as well as executives. Let's keep it real.

[@malcolmar]

Thanks for the video. This 100% redeemed Toyota in my eyes is the reason why this car is at the top of my shortlist for my next sports car. Yes everyone is pushing EVs for the future but people can't look past the amazing "attainable" sports cars we have now and all with manuals. We have the Mazda Miata, the Veloster N (for not much longer), the Toyota GR 86 / Subaru BRZ, the Honda Civic Type R, VW Golf R, the Toyota GR Corolla, the Nissan Z, and this Toyota GR Supra. The fact that 3 of these cars are Toyotas is just proof that the leadership at Toyota knows what they need to do to make quality performance cars a reality. I did not even mention the manual variants of the Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger. Right now we have quite possibly the best affordable, manual sports cars ever made and maybe ever will be made. If people have the ability to buy any of these cars and sleep on them, they will regret it in the future because IMHO, in light of where the car industry seems to be going, these cars have all the makings of future classics. I would not be surprised if supercar owners make their way to a Toyota dealership because of Toyota's amazing lineup, because you can't row your own gears in many supercars with Porsche being the exception.

[@jhowardsupporter]

I only drive classic cars really so I don't have that problem. Like if I was going to get a supra I'd get 1998 model, I even saw a 1989 I think. The price is way to hyped though. But honestly once you try automatic you'd never go back! It's so good! You take your foot off the brake and the car moves forward because it's at the bite point already! I got my first auto and I'm never going back to manual.

Awesome review. Mine is arriving in 2 weeks. Can’t wait!

[@brettwhitelaw2597]

your ability to describe the driving experience is amazing, great video

[@barrelsurfergirl4614]

I hope the Corvette gets a manual I rather have a mk3 or mk4 Supra tbh

[@jamesmarcelin8028]

The mk5 Supra looking like the next car to buy I like more than the z

Now I hope they announce a Targa top

God I love Toyota they're killing it lately

[@tadhgbolen3054]

Man I will always hate how clunky and laggy modern manuals feel. Sounds to me like it could use a lighter flywheel like many cars these days. Also sounds to me that it cant handle bang shifting really well... youre shifting it quite slowly and it still wasnt dropping rpm as quick as it should for it.

[@rex_s80]

It’s not the flywheel but rather how it’s tuned for emissions. To reduce hydrocarbons of unburnt fuel droplets that form when rapidly closing the throttle body, they have the throttle stay slightly open to keep the air mixing with the fuel so it can combust in the exhaust instead of just fly through unburnt as droplets.

[@juwayonclarke5755]

Great Move Toyota!! Manuals are hands down the most rewarding to drive.

[@scottyd0530]

I love all the "I love this car NOW" comments. I am probably one of the very, very few who really liked the MK5 Supra when it was first released, auto and all. This car is awesome, and now with a manual, it's just that much better.

[@Skatinsince1997]

Dang BMW is on another level. They throw a 10 year old 3 series engine in a Z4 with a 20 year old transmission and its the greatest Toyota sports car ever made.

[@crazyasnboy]

I’m on the waiting list for my manual premium cant frigging wait man. Thanks for the review!

[@treyheinerichs2299]

Now I could see myself falling in love with this car.

[@GodGear]

This was such a fun video to watch. Great job sir. I look forward to be able to drive one , one day.

[@connor-cw8ul]

Nissan z just took the loss on a win they thought they had in the bag 😂 That's what happens when you parts bin a car based off a 20 year old chassis and act like you reinvented it

[@klaushuxley3342]

Yup, the Z is a disaster.

[@Phantom-drift]

We’ll see how many zupra’s are around once people actually drive them & put some miles in JDM>BMW & in terms of reliability.. Power is easy to make on either platform with proper tuning & mods.

[@carboydorifutoparty3976]

Toyota is awesome at PR. Keeping Supra in the conversation and keeping up the hype. My A91 MT will be here in a few weeks, can’t wait. $10k markup be dammed.

all we need now is the sequel to the 2jz 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@JimS870]

I'm amazed at the ratios. First is like 4.1-something. With that low RPM turbo torque it must be a monster.

[@cawfeecatt1553]

The Automatic is truly amazing thou

[@BMWROYAL]

Remember when the engineers told everyone those fake vents in the door and the hood that have no real pass through can easily be removable and are there so we can choose to use it? Lol years later they still have no real use

[@davidb3814]

Love the video bro, definitely love the car now just because on the manual.

[@spideym35i]

Dammit making me wanna go bankrupt😂 lack of a manual was my only problem with the car other than the BMW door chime

[@goldlifter]

Coming from someone who has owned 4 MKIV Supras over the years, the snide “BMW” comments towards the MKV Supra on social media has always confused me. 1. Without BMW partnership, there is no MKV Supra 2. BMWs expertise in producing exciting, “connected” feeling cars is exactly what Toyota needs 3. Fit and finish of BMWs are better than Toyotas. With all that being said, i am well aware of a certain segment of the population, there are people who cannot afford a certain product so they look for any reason possible to talk down on it. Thank you @ThatDudeinBlue for the review and thank you to Toyota for listening to us🙏

[@brendanmonagle4891]

I worked for Toyota for 4 Years, and they are so GOD DAMN Stubborn. I Love Toyota, and All. But, they are so STUCK IN THERE WAYS, that they CAN’T SAVE THEMSELVES. The DESPERATELY NEED TO LISTEN TO THEIR CUSTOMER FAN BASE.

[@ulisesavila2879]

It's Japan, they are stubborn because they are stuck in their protocols

[@hpickettz34]

Stuck in their ways seems to work well for them, because they definitely make alot money doing it.

[@brendanmonagle4891]

@@hpickettz34 I’ve talked to the Toyota Rep’s before, about this, and A LOT OF THEM AGREED with ME ON THAT. Some of the Toyota Executives, that I got to talk to about this ISSUE seemed to agree with me on that. I told them straight to their face, that I would buy a Ford All Day, and Any Day of the week. They, asked me why. I was brutally honest, and that the Tundra, and said that the Sequoia are Decades behind Ford, and GM. They were quite impressed by, what I said. I worked at one of Toyotas top rated dealership in the Northeast.

great review thank you

[@Real95neta]

Dude I'm soo happy, the supra came out and I was about to purchase one until I found out that it was only available in auto, that evoked feelings of depression but now I have to get one if they're in manual

[@j_mars_cars]

I’ve never really “wanted” the new Supra. Now I can say, I WAUN IT

[@barrymitchell7732]

Sunday A.M I went to lowes. Major headache. 8 lanes stopped. 3 ambulance, 2 fire trucks, numerous cops. Bumper to bumper traffic. U want a manual!!!!!. U will be crying. I will be laughing.

[@Sam-mw5hx]

Wow great review! Loved how you compared it to the nissan z

[@dTheHammerb]

0:29 - Oh my god that colour. I am not very easily impressed but I am straight up the most impressed I've been in months of news for the manual supra! Let's go!!

[@F510C]

Now what we are waiting for is Nissan to do is make a Nismo Z and squeeze in a GTR Nismo engine or slap in larger turbos thus forcing Toyota slap in a S58 engine (M3)

[@mattyoz0]

The b58 has way more in it, they wouldn't need the m3 motor.

[@Thefrankmaister1911]

No matter how much the hate. I am just glad this car even exists. Look at what's out there, EVs and Teslas are polluting the roads, people are forgetting about the fun drivers cars. We lost the EVO, we lost the STi we Lost the Focus Rs. It an Era where we have to appreciate and not take things for Granted. Toyota despite the hate, gave us the MT Supra. I am glad these cars are still available.

[@tonyrandle5849]

This supra truly deserved a manual transmission.

[@citrusjuicebox]

Toyota did develop their own Supra and it does have a $100k MSRP. It's called the LC 500.
