Everyone is cheating and we don't live in a perfect world. Toyota seems that cheated too with the overrated 200ps catalog spec number. It is easy to certify an engine that has plenty of time on a test bed, using the thinnest and hottest possible oil, the least quantity of oil, the best available fuel and so on. Such an engine will output a number that will never see again in the real world. In my view this is more serious than hiding some weight from a car. Unfortunately, no one from Toyota can speak out officially and the revised car although much stronger had to get the 205ps catalog spec. Because they had to correct the original mistake. It is not yet what many people wanted (turbo), but overall a much better car doomed by the mistakes of the past.
