    I'm bored and car shopping. Should I get a manual supra instead of my m4? Quite fancy new car warranty. I can't test drive one, none near me. I can order one and cancel for free if I don't like it. In yellow. The configurator is amusing - you choose your colour aaaand... That's it. 1 interior choice (black) and 1 wheel choice, no packages.

    Thoughts?

    I suggest sitting in and driving one of these. I understand manuals here in the US are not available. I personally found this car very cramp in every aspect. I'm not that tall, but the sides of the roof really intrude here. I'm certain it is fun to drive, but I don't know if I'd want to live with this. Funny no one talks about the Z4. As a fan of inline sixes I'm a big fan of this setup. I wish this engine could find it's way into a few other Lexus/Toyota products.

    Yeah I was gonna wait until a manual demonstrator was available to do that all at once, but they only started production this month. I could go sit in an auto... Or I might order one, it's risk free.

    The manual Supra and Nissan Z are high on my list of possibilities.

    Manual is coming to the US in the next model year.

    I was very excited about the Z4 when the photos first came out, but when I learned there was no manual, I deleted the car from my brain. I don’t have time for that.

    Really? I haven’t heard that.

    I mean, the Supra is a Supra. A legendary nameplate. But the Z4 looks so good and is open top.
