I didn't find the rev match system to be intrusive and honestly, I totally forgot that it had it because it's was so well executed.
The shift feel of the 6MT in the Supra was quite a bit better than the one in my prior M235 and the M2 6MT I've driven. Toyota did a great job pulling out the BMW rubberyness. BMW should be ashamed of themselves for half-assing the 6MT in the F and G series cars. It's like they intentionally made the experience poor to push people to the DCT and 8AT. There's no debate that the DCT/auto cars are faster in all acceleration contests and are more efficient as well, but that is no reason to make the 6MT experience so poor.
The Supra is a a legit sports car. I just can't do the looks. It's odd and over-styled for me. The bulges and swooping lines are a bit too much and the front and rear bumper cover way over-styled. And then all those fake vents. Really? It's clear that Toyota tried to do their best with the Z4 chassis to match their Supra concept but the end result looks like a caricature of the concept. I know I'm in the minority as the most people like the new Supras.

You're not alone. It's weirdly proportioned and quite heavy for its size. Interior is weird since it's so obviously BMW but has Toyota badges and style accents. I loved the concept.
I haven't driven the manual, the auto was well, an auto.
Chris Harris agrees with us. Must be the correct position.
