Though there's almost nothing new in the article, there are some interesting statements I can't remember seeing in the forum and I would like to share them.
  • The engineers assured him that there will be two manual gearbox options with different ratios
  • The Toyota will be the most affordable of the trio
  • The test unit was wearing Michelin Primacy HPs in 215/45 size on 17" wheels
  • They have freed car's electronics so auxiliary industry can tune it at its will
  • It's going to be on sale on June of 2012
There are some good photos of the reporter drifting the car, but the one I think it's new is this:
1st) What? In terms of affordability, Toyota < Scion? how does that make any sense?

2nd) FREE ECU BABY! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN this car will be 100% epic!!! Confirmed.

PS: Link to the online article?
