Let me add a few:
That article's pretty honestly written. Like it says the interior's all BMW and nothing but BMW, except for the instrument panel, that that part is all Toyota. They gave the digital panel an analog feel, unlike what BMW did.
It also says how the car doesn't comply with Toyota's in house criteria that all Toyota cars have to follow, like how low it is and how thick the door sills are for rigidity. It breaks Toyota's own rules for sake of performance.
Price is within reach of 86 owners, if they tried hard.
Toyota told BMW, mileage be damned. Just focus on performance.
Driving position was sunken not only for lower center of gravity but to give the entire position a sports car like feel, along with the positioning of the steering wheel and the gear lever. Can I read between the lines that they positioned it ideally for a manual gear shift lever??
Stability control can be completely turned off. Although even with it on, it's not very intrusive.
Final specs are not yet set in stone, and yes, it said that even with the 2 liter turbo, the torque was ample and that Tada also tested the MT model the other day.
Anyway, that's what I have from memory.
