Huh now that I've seen a picture I've got a better understanding.
I still don't think they'll hit 2,100 lbs in America, this looks like a kei car more than anything else, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't hit our shores at all, looks like a replacement iq at best. That mule does not look set up for rwd that hood is much too short, looks like a plain jane transverse i4 fwd, but what the hell do I know. |
Sources tell us? What sources? There are too many things wrong with this article lol.
The 6 speed manual in the 86 is for a longitudinal RWD application whereas the 2NR is a transverse I4. There is no way they are going to make custom bellhousing to make this work. The current 2NR-FE is for some low income markets and has no VVTi, but 100kW sounds like a lot coming from Toyota. A VVTi version would make something like 110-115hp, and if they give it the 1ZZ-FED treatment with slightly larger valves, an extra 20hp is not going to magically show up. It replaces the MR2, but it's a 2+2? Where does the engine go? |
That thing is UGLY

Unless I'm getting this all wrong and it's supposed to be an FR car. Now that I think about it, I'm probably hoping too hard for an MR car, and this article seems to be describing an FR :bellyroll: |

Cheaper, smaller, rwd, hatchback...
Yup, I meant the base 3 cyl model.
We took the family up to the big MINI event in Pittsburgh in our R53. The new Cooper and Cooper S were there. I hate the new styling. :( The R56 was a good evolution, but sharing an FF platform with BMW's Active 2 really hosed up the proportions. Both new engines are apparently very good, though. That said, I don't think we'll be trading our R53 anytime soon. It has been reliable and my wife is in love with it. She'll keep her MINI, I get my FRS, and we have the '14 Rav Limited for family hauling. Sent from Tandy 400 |
you guys do know that the pic in the link is just a render and not a real actual concept.

i dont think it will be that hard to make a coupe, roadster, and shooting brake variation.
this may even sell more then the 86 considering it rumored to start at $16k. |

I would believe it when i see it. I do not think that Toyota will be able to keep this thing under 2500lbs.
