You are taller than I am and a little more athletic it would be a tight fit and forget about wearing a helmet. The roof line will leave you with a concussion or two from banging on it be it is much lower than the Z. I was told to watch my head when sat in it. Once I was in I was fine. I had to make a couple attempts with a helmet on. I was like trying to get in NASCAR through the window. I had to scrunch down to keep the helmet of the roof.

It is unclear to me how much/deep Toyota intervention is in the aspect of the electronic architecture. My guess it's very little judging from the fact that their own people (FTS engineers) were unable to solve the problems. |

Toyota had 0 input or intervention in the electronics. So yeah, worst nightmare. Stuck with German electronics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All kidding aside, the attitude you described re. ‘Yota Corp and customer care is not an isolated incident. They think their **** don’t stink and never have the customer’s back, read many similar posts to yours regarding 4Runner and Tacoma problems too. |

Heres a comparo of a camaro 4cylinder 1LE vs a supra. While I'm expecting better driving dynamics from the supra. I'm expecting a better overall car from the camaro.
The camaro wont spend it's time waiting for warranty claims to be honored and you get a manual. If a 4cyl is your engine. You need a manual or DCT. As good as the ZF is. It's not gonna be great in a 4banger. Maybe Toyota can call acura and borrow their TLX DCT. Since they're not building shyt.

Skimming the MKV forums, sounds like there's an update to a 6-port (vs 2) exhaust manifold and the cylinder head is revised to accept it, but supposedly this has existed on other B58 engines already.
Believe C&D is the same outlet that dyno tested the launch edition at ~335whp. Dunno if that was some press car magic. That's theoretically 380+ crank hp if we assume 15% drivetrain losses. So basically, who knows what the real resulting figure could be, but I think the exercise of doing this+other revisions just now, in the second model year, is a bit dumb. I'd think this kind of stuff either should've come from the start, or a mid-life update. 2021 Premium trim apparently is a tad more than the 2020 Premium. $55k vs $53.9. I get that some cars do get more expensive with new model years, but I didn't think the original price was competitive enough in this market. It doesn't add up to anything more attractive than before imo, maybe even less so because of the nature it is coming about. And that's before we speculate issues like POS VETT did. |

I am confident they’ll work the bugs out as the years go by, it’s the piss poor customer care that is the bigger turnoff for me. Still, bottom line, a new sports car getting regular meaningful updates, as car guys, we should be very happy about that. |

So, saw a black Supra tonight up close. Wow, it really looks sharp in that color, wife and I both really liked it in black, def the color we’d choose if we were shopping for a new sports car.
