Its going to be a straight Auto for the Supra, I didnt see anything about a DCT BUT even so. Yes I want a manual gearbox with 3 pedals

Nissan wont kill the manual IF they release a Z. It would be nice if they just remove the Z from the lineup though and not drag their feet with the same model again with NO major updates like I said.

i thought the last time reading about the supra they were using the DCT from their partnership with BMW now. i could be wrong though.

You may be right, I still would want a 3rd pedal Manual gearbox but a DCT would be significantly better.

Oddly the Z4 or Z5 that BMW has mimicking the Supra variant WILL have a manual gearbox...
The other issue with this car is it appears they are sourcing out one of BMWs motors which to me is an epic fail on Toyotas part especially with how unreliable BMW is with those motors.

I saw the print spec sheet for the gearboxes and EUrope will be getting a manual of the Supra... Lazy Americans ruining my dream haha

So with the news we have... Nissan is making a 300hp IDX and calling it a Z?

Nissan rumor is a laughing stock of the automotive world. I find it funny. The midengine corvette mule was running around. People are still saying, i believe it when i see it... but wanna believe this bogus nissan news.

Toyota is giving us something, though I think this old Z will still handle better? But we'll have to see?

I think Hyundai will put out an affordable sport coupe before Nissan.

Alfa Romeo is another last hope.

It's that or get a more profitable career and buy a GTR.

Well everyone has their preference. My ADD needs something to do with my left leg and right arm haha

One would think if Nissan saw this thread with 273 pages and a zillion comments they would consider building it...
I wouldn't guess there is some thread out there about a Nissan cube and when the next body style/engine will be released yet they release those toaster ovens....

So stupid too because they literally have the engine to use that would place the Z above most if not all in the sub 40k category.
The only so called competition in the 2 door market would be the Mustang which has little style, is heavy and every person in the south owns a Mustang so outplayed.
