Im not expecting a golf or focus fighter but i dont know why toyota acts likes a 168hp na 4cyl is their only 4cyl when all their competitors have turbo 4A hatchback Yaris with AWD capabilities and some grunt with torque should be plenty of fun. Keep it around 3000-3200 lbs and I feel Toyota can capture part of the market.
So when is the news going to break that they are making this car alongside the WRX STI hatchback for the new generation? Not trying to be pessimistic but the track record has my hopes a bit down.
This is my problem. I live at 6500 feet above sea level. 168 hp IS NOT ENOUGH to have fun where I am. We lose so much power. So any new sporty car should be minimum 250-300 up where I am. I wouldn’t consider any car under those numbers.Im not expecting a golf or focus fighter but i dont know why toyota acts likes a 168hp na 4cyl is their only 4cyl when all their competitors have turbo 4

Not implying that they would do a shared performance project. But the Yaris sedan* chassis is now based of a Mazda Demio (Mazda 2)What if Toyota works with Mazda and Toyota gets this rally car and Mazda gets a speed3? I’m just messing around though lol.
What are you thinking might be happening here?A70TTR, a little bird told me that Toyota is going to ship "quite a few" A90 chassis' to Motomachi, Toyota City, Japan for something special. Would you happen to know what that would be for?
Isn't the LFA facility in Motomachi?
I honestly don't know...that is why I asked A70TTR, thought maybe he might have heard something (office rumors). If it's true....maybe a ultra limited run of a Supra with the Lexus TT V6 that is supposedly going into the "F" cars?? I dunno, that's just a shot in the dark. Maybe a super light-weight all carbon fiber bodied Supra?? Maybe prepping cars for racing??What are you thinking might be happening here?
Hmmm....interesting. Not going to think too much into it, but if they made this move once, they could technically do it again with the A90 no?Motomachi is where the Supras (A80) were made after production was transferred from Tahara (A60/A70) in the early 90s.
Gotcha. I'm on that same boat. The "quite a few" comment has me a little dumbfounded. Makes it seem as thought there is as special edition type of thing going on.I honestly don't know...that is why I asked A70TTR, thought maybe he might have heard something (office rumors).

They (Toyota) would be out of their mind if all they offered was a rumored 340HP option car. A limited production Japanese built A90 would be incredible....but, let's not get our hopes up.Gotcha.
