2 seats with decent leg and headroom plus a "token" back seat for storage and insurance purposes.

- front-midship boxer, 2.0 liters and 180-220 hp stock.

- available 6-speed manual close-geared on the first 5 with the 6th a little taller for highway cruising.

- 3 trim levels: sr5 - bare bones hardtop-only base model. gts - sports model with drivetrain/suspension upgrades over base. glx - touring model with premium soundsystem and sunroof etc... (necessary to sell enough of the model to encourage further production).

- no gimmicky styling cues, retardedly expensive to replace lights, ugly 20lb oversized wheels that necessitate expensive tires.

- weight is under 2750lb for fully-featured top of the line model. weight for base models is substantially less.

- TRD support not limited to fancy grille inserts and appearance accessories.


from a comment on jalopnik about the fr-s patent...modified by me, perhaps a little more realistic from what the guy wanted, and more what i would like
