I do agree with you on the power though. Lets be realistic. Honda City Turbo had a turbo on it and that thing was built in the 80s!
That's for Scion being reasonably price. What some fail to see is that Scion is made by Toyota and so they are quick to judge. But also, some of Scion's designs are ones that might not appeal to the average American auto buyer (aka, the cars that are more accepted in other countries). I'll be honest, I was wary about Scions when I first bought my FRS...and I ended up throwing a piston rod haha. Long story..

But yes! A turbo would be refreshing for Toyota.

I think the collaboration with BMW was to share hybrid and diesel tech.
Oh yeah? Well, hopefully something gas powered with forged fun can be used with other applications. Thanks for the info.
