Some exciting options from Toyota should be celebrated.
This, plus the Yaris, the 86 and upcoming Supra…w/ manual options across the board is frigging awesome esp in todays market trend towards electrification, SUVs, and automatics.
I'm hoping more manufactures will have a couple of manual-ICE sports car options available for consumers offset by 80-90% of the cars in their stable offering hybrids/electric Powertrains w/ automatics.
I agree this isn't the most attractive car out there but, as mentioned it's significantly better than the type R civic, Golf R, WRX. IMO It's def going to cannibalize sales from these manufacturers esp if it's in that $30k to $45k price range.
Case in point, even though the new M3 and M2 are styled like crap (worse than Toyota IMO), lots of respect to BMW for offering two manual ICE options for those that want them.
