If you want your base model for $20k good, but I think Toyota would be making a mistake to not offer a higher hp OPTIONAL version for around $30k or so.

This way they could satisfy those who want the 200hp (or whatever it ends up being) n/a version and those who want more power with a turbo. I personally will have to seriously consider purchasing this if the price isn't low 20s and only has 200hp.

This is just my opinion on the matter, but I know i'm not the only one who thinks that way. The majority of the members here are not of this mind, but if they want to try and appeal to a larger demographic it would be a good idea to offer these different options.

Edit: And to those who will say then go after-market, some people prefer to have factory warranty and reliability with their vehicles.

Some of us want turbochargers or spoilers etc. I'm not saying everyone wants them but for us that do its a major selling point. If they take a page out of subaru's book they should do well.

AMEN.
