Supposedly that was not posted by Toyota Twain but instead from a Chinese auto news site, aka click-bait.

I'll believe it when we actually have a press release from Toyota.

Yeah Nissan needs to get a wriggle on ….they are really stuffing this launch up, and if Toyota come out with a manual before the Z launches, I’m sure it can only affect them negatively

According to Creative Trend, the M/T GR Supra RZ announcement will happen on 4/28. It is unclear if this announcement is only for Japan or if it includes the US spec 3.0 Premium as well.

Didn't Toyota shut down all Japan factories in response to the cyberattack of one of their suppliers? I wonder if that will affect the timeline at all.

Yes, that was this past Tuesday and I'm not sure if they have reopened since. BMW also paused production in Germany and other European countries due to the war. This article states that engine production in Steyr, Austria will be suspended but not sure how Magna Steyr in Graz is affected, if at all, which is where the MkV is built.

It's just to show how successful the Supra launch has been. otherwise Toyota would not have consider this market for the purists.

I was able to see the order simulator screen that dealerships have access to the other day through a dealer contact. For the manual there were 3 options listed:

GR Supra 3.0 6MT
GR Supra 3.0 Premium 6MT
GR Supra 3.0 SE 6MT

Based on that it sounds like we are actually getting the manual on the base trim as well. Previous leaks had said premium only but that might just be for the Japanese market. It also seems to confirm that the special edition model will be manual only for 2023 since there wasn't an SE version listed for the automatic.

The MSRP section was still blank though.

I wonder if the 4 banger is getting dropped this year.
