that side badge with the '86' and the boxer pistons is... contrived
also some places are saying that the new name is just "86"... that's it
be that as it may, i suspect quite a few will end up here and on the roads given the low $30s price... some spaz at toyota AU even said "expect the $29,990s"Originally posted by boxxxComment

The pictures on the last page I reckon are the best looking of all the concepts etc we've seen to date. I feel a bit dirty for actually wanting a Toyota (it's like admitting to liking Volvos 20 years ago), but there you go. The only questionmark in my mind now is the low torque at high RPM problem. (That, and seeing if they've made it big enough inside for the larger Aussie gent).Comment

It's a 2L NA motor what did you expect, over 100Nm/L is pretty fucking good.Originally posted by Marco_VESS View PostIf in doubt power outComment

How many other NA 2L engines make all their torque that high up the rev range though? But yeah, I take your point, I'm used to seeing torque figures that begin with a 5 or at worst, a 3...Comment

even Civic Type Rs make more torque, lower down.... just sayin... (and more powahz too ).Originally posted by Marco_VESS View Post

I do not understand the comparison between these and a Golf. That Hyundai coupe thing would be a much better comparison...if we get it.
Its a Jap RWD, which means making them do things better is going to be alot simpler than a euro FWD.
Average CocksSwallowed/hr ratio on these is going to be alot lower than a Golf too.#WHOTW award winner #blessed #susanalbumpartyComment

A better comparison is the 4age. Needs big revs or boost to be quick."If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough horsepower." - Mark Donahue Penske Porsche 917

hundai coupe is a full size up
