70YND, maybe 6/100 on the highway? That seems pretty reasonable. My guess of 9/100 mixed is a practical guess based on what I do, which is a fair amount of commuting (although there is a good portion driving at speed). Could be anything. I don't have a lot of experience with fuel economy of boxers, let alone ones using dual injection. You'd imagine that it'd be pretty hard to get worse than 10L per 100km, given the low weight and low displacement, regardless of how hard it's driven (on the street anyway).
Agreed, JFC's guess is as good as any since we haven't heard anything official... best quote I've heard is them saying that they're aiming at a price starting with a 3. I was pointing out that JFC is clearly in the minority with thinking it's going to be at that price point, so he shouldn't be giving people the impression that that is the popular opinion. I'm an analyst for a living, I get pretty anal about giving people accurate information... No offense meant though JFC! For the record I really hope you're right, if it means anything.
Mid to late 30's I still think they'll sell a bucket load due to it being significantly lower than anything else remotely sporty. Toyota's new dedication to inspiring younger generations is the wildcard to me. See any of their press releases this year and you'll know what I'm talking about. All depends how Toyota AU take this on though, given that those recent internal docs seem to point to otherwise. I guess that they could be using the Ferrari effect to a lesser extent, make sports cars that all the younger people want but only the older can afford. Still works as a halo effect in the brand.
TL;DR - We don't know, too much stuff could affect pricing still. Please don't give people the impression we have a solid price though, please?
