Spanish magazine (Autopista) review + new info + new engine bay photo. ECU flashable!
Another Review
This time from the Spanish magazine "Autopista", the most important and reliable of my country (IMHO) The reporter was one of the six chosen to make a first evaluation of the prototype and give feedback to engineers. Like the other reviews so far (CAR, Autocar, Motortrend, C/D), he liked the car a lot. He says it drifts great and that the feeling is similar (despite the distances) to Renault RSs. 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.
Full article scanned:

In terms of what exactly? Pricing? ECU tuning?

I hope this is a "world car" in the sense that those features (especially the Ecu) will be in ALL models.

1st) What? In terms of affordability, Toyota < Scion? how does that make any sense? Yes, I thought more or less the same. It's odd. Perhaps they think it's going to sell better in the USA and take advantage of that. Just a thought. :l I can't find the article in the web, I think they don't upload the articles of the current week magazine. It's time to scan some pages I'll be back in a few minutes

scion being more expensive can make sense cause Scion only has one trim were we have already seen the toyota will get a base base model for racing as well as 3 different trims so Scion only trim can be more $$$ than toyota lowest trim
