Some have even gone so far as to say that the only reason they don’t own a Supra, right now, is because they can’t possibly imagine having any fun with a mere two pedals.

Toyota representatives wouldn’t clarify what that meant via email, whether a transmission from Toyota or BMW or a third party would end up in the car, but they did confirm that the new gearbox was bound for North American shores.
