I personally don’t like Doug’s style of review but I do feel like a lot of his points were justified. Why make all these “design choices” for the aftermarket? Why not just include them, they would still be tunable parts anyway... I know this is predominately an American site but everywhere else...
Sorry but we’ve reached peak delusion. The vents don’t physically go anywhere. You would have to do heavy modification to make them functional which differs from any other car, how?
After driving this im firmly in the disappointed camp. The car is a reshell of BMWs platform. Minus body roll...
I’m in the same boat. I’m probably going to get a refund too. Much more interested in my mkiv now. if I wanted a M140i engine then I’d have saved a lot of money and got one of those.
If it’s the same as the M140i which I suspect it will be then it’s 179 g/km. Euro emissions standard 6. That’s insurance group 37 so I suspect it to be similar if not the max group.
Different paint, black wheels and some red seat highlights are a weak special edition so I doubt it’ll be worth anything. Not to mention rare doesn’t mean wanted...
Honestly I think this will depreciate like a brick so maybe I’ll get one second hand when they’re 10k but maybe not.
Definitely...
It’s already too highly priced compared to the US. I won’t be going ahead for that and some other reasons. However if they do raise the price then I can’t see it selling here at all.
FYI. I think it’ll hurt Germany more than it will hurt us if we leave with no deal.
Yea but the MKIV has reliabilty up to 7/800hp on a stock motor...
If Toyota are having to keep this at 335hp to ensure reliabilty then there’s no way it’ll have the same reliabilty. That’s just an impossibility.
