Who's our resident Japanese speaker?

I look at that and all I can say is "wakarimasen"

I see "3JZ" in there, and want to know what that big '800' is in the middle of the last page. Hopefully not related to that Nascar mess.

I don't speak or read Japanese but using Google the large text in the middle roughly says: "It is likely to fall below 8 Million Yen (72,000 USD)"

 

[BRX]

The large texts on the first two pages translate roughtly to:

"2019 full revival"

"Development goes into the final stages with the 3rd generation straight 6 Turbo"

I guess it being called a 3JZ is looking very likely.

72k for a mid 300hp car is putting a hole in your plate while eating your favorite food.. suicidal at best.

Either Toyota has found some tech to make the ZF8 shift and rev quickly through the gears that mid 300 HP feels enough and faster than the figures suggest, the pricing is incorrect, or A70's contact isn't giving him the final picture regarding power figures.

Though, considering the interview is based in Japanese, I'll trust that Tada feels more forthcoming with comments and details than interviews at public events outside of his native country.

Keep in mind that other market’s pricing doesn’t equal US pricing.

Fair statement and I agree with that.

 

[2JZ-No-Sh*t]

Isn't the 350hp for the oversea models? Aren't we getting the same 382hp as the US spec Z4?

Yup, for example the JDM Camry cost 3,298,320 JPY or $29,669 USD. All while the US Camry starts at $23,645.
