2015 Lexus RC Coupe *** Now with a I4 Turbo Engine

I do not really think it hurts these cars to not have a manual ******. In these day and age, it is a small percentage who wants one or one that would pass on the car just because of it. I am not sure how much it cost Lexus to put a manual ****** in these cars but they probably find it more cost productive to stay away from it.
 
Yeah I figure its a small percentage anyway, but kudos to companies like BMW and Audi who take pride in their manuals, although I read BMW was close to not having a manual option for the M4.

GTR is proof people are "ok" with having a super performance car without a clutch.

I have fun in my little Si, I could only imagine whipping around a manual fitted R8 or something. :lol:
 
Porsche still promises that the manual ****** will always be available in their line-up as long as someone demands it so that will always be a safe route in the future if rowing gears are what you crave.


But yeah, don't be surprised if they all become auto in the future, BMW doesn't even charge extra for auto ****** even when a manual ****** are availabe in some of their models.
 
To be quite honest I prefer auto at this point in my life

I love manual but it's a pain in the *** 90% of the time
 
Most enthusiasts prefer autos for track days so
they can "focus" on driving. I also read
in the UK 90% of drivers prefer autos as well. Its
only hardcore Americans & purists who really enjoy
rowing gears who demand a manual. I know for
me as a DD a manual is a major preference as it
adds to the fun of the vehicle.

What I dont really understand is how Toyota/Lexus is going
to compete with BMW with the M4, but then at the same
time worth WITH BMW on the future Supra >D

GT3 is auto though.

I dont believe in that twin clutch non-sense. IMO its either a manual or automatic, clutch or no clutch. Period.

Click to expand...


Supra isn't even confirmed and I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out as a GTR competitor at this point with some sort of hybrid electric engine.

I am not even holding my breath for a Supra to come out anytime soon.
 
I doubt it, it's going to have electric motor and I am not sure I have seen a car with a manual ****** that has a hybrid engine like that or at least nothing comes to mind at the moment.
 
Hybrids gonna be the wave of the future. If they
can make power like the 918 I will not be mad lol.
 
^Word :lol:
What are u driving right now RFX?
If I remember correctly u picked up a
roadster a couple of years ago, but I cant
remember the brand.
 
Still the Z4, it's going back this January so I got a lot of thinking to do.
