This completely contradicts just about everything you've mentioned, at least it is now more in line with someone who would cross shop an 86 with an MR-S
It's just fun saying that it's a "Corolla motor" to get you guys all riled up LOL. The 4AGE is defnitely the acception. Great motor! But we're not talking about the AW11 here. But the 1ZZFE, ummmm... not so much. FE for economy!

How does that contradict anything?! I'd be all over the MR-S in terms of a performance stand point. But the ugliness and lack of storage still holds me back from getting one to be my street car.
