This is cool!!! BRING BACK MANUAL TRANSMISSION it’s better than automatic and more economic PLS
We agree and have our fingers crossed as well.
Good news!!!!! CVT trasmission cost 4. Thous to fix , forget about it
Stick shift is so much better…so much more control. And this ABS garbage is truly a danger to anyone in the wintery lands. But anyways, even the elderly in Europe drive stick. Come on America…
And why does it seem like i dont see manual transmission for SUVs?
Thank you for your comment! We definitely understand the passion for manual transmissions—there’s something special about the engagement and control they offer, especially for driving enthusiasts. Toyota still offers a manual transmission option in some of our models, designed for performance-oriented drivers who want that connection to the road.
When it comes to SUVs, you’re right—manual options are becoming rare. This is partly because of advancements in automatic transmissions and the growing demand for convenience. Many drivers today prioritize fuel efficiency and ease of use, especially in urban environments, where traffic can make manual shifting less appealing.
As for ABS (anti-lock braking systems), it’s designed for safety by preventing wheels from locking up during hard braking. While it can feel different, especially for those used to full control with manual braking, ABS generally improves stability and reduces stopping distances, especially on slippery surfaces like ice or snow.
Europe has always been a strong market for manual transmissions, but here in America, it’s a bit of a cultural shift. That said, Toyota’s engineering team is committed to offering vehicles that fit all driving styles, whether that’s manual or automatic, while ensuring safety and performance.
