I don't wish it, want it, hope it, or anything like that -- it's going to be competing with other sports cars currently on the market that are of a similar price.
Beyond that, fucking TOYOTA unveiled a turboed version of the car, and IF that car is built THAT car may very well compete with the Z.
Is that clear enough for you so I don't unintetionally delude poor helpless newbies?
Are you fucking serious???  |
Next time, try not to use too much swearing. I'm sure you have more vocabulary than that, It makes you sound like moron teenager who's trying to act tough. If you're that person... well, I have nothing to say then.
Anyways, looking back on Tada's quotes from BMI vids I found one that I've translated that might interest some of high HP members here
Note: This was in 2009. Before TAS

Tada's comment
"I can feel their wishes written. Sounds like everyone wants a common car... some sports car that you can actually control.
FT-86's direction?
Reason why 86 been loved this long is I think cuz of tuning shop and owners, supported... the sports car currently making, I wish to follow the same supports, so that's one of the reason named it 86.
Is there gonna be motor sport grade base?
I will make sure to make that kind of grade or model. Will be making one that people will say "You gonna go this far?"
If fan's sent more wishes/comment letters like today's, we still have time so we'll use these wishes as reference and make it... so we'll be waiting for more wishes/desires letters.
From Tsuchiya-san's request, he want a Turbo model
haha, oh~ I see... in coming Tokyo Auto Salon (2010, not the future one), as for one of tuning variation... or one of the evolution model... something Tsuchiya-san's is imagine/requested will be display... so please check. "

So the sport grade base sound like promising for high hp fans... can't say it's gonna come out in US (my bet is NO)

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.

You know TRD do make after market Turbo/Supercharger that doesn't void the factory warranty right?
