Whoa, thanks for the links, I try to follow this kind of stuff closely but I totally missed this.

New engines from Toyota is nice and all but I get more and more scared that they're going to ditch manual transmissions altogether for the US. However if Mazda's future is bright, maybe that won't matter Anyhow it seems unlikely that Toyota would build any true high performance engines from now on.
