It would be difficult for Toyota to resurrect a dead production line.

JZ is just too much for that lil' 86 to handle. But no really, it is.
That's why Supras are big and heavy. I don't know why I am replying to this... |

Im thinking that a boxer engine would provide a lower center of gravity vs. an inline 4. Not that the vehicle has the lowest COG overall but again the boxer engine gives a lower COG than an inline format.

Often times an inline or v is more narrow and can sit lower in a car because of its shape

And HOPEFULLY THIS. But they wouldn't have went "2JZ-GE/GTE" with this, more so "3SGTE" actually. |
