This car isn't about power though, it's about great balance and handling
Not saying I want one (I want a V8) but I get what they were trying to do.

i did notice that there is an iphone app available for it as well. which by the look of things is a digital dash. that and according to sources the can bus interface will be giving out loads of data for the enthusiast driver.

i've got my name down at the local toyota dealer to send me any info as soon as it becomes available and of course the test drive
i reckon 200bhp will be enough for most people to have fun with. of course there is nothing there an aftermarket turbo upgrade couldn't fix. word is the chasis can handle "a bit more" power, as to what "a bit more" is who knows.

parthiban This car isn't about power though, it's about great balance and handling
Not saying I want one (I want a V8) but I get what they were trying to do.
I agree, and it's a big step for Toyota as well. This is the first driver orientated car they have done for a while. Let's hope they follow it up with a boxer powered four door saloon!
Along with the new Honda Crz hybrid, these are the future of driving a car because it's good fun rather then building a car to tick boxes.
Another good thing about this car is Toyota and subaru are encouraging owners to customise them too. They have obviously seen the market for it is huge and want to cash in.
