Tada: "If they do, please buy the four-cylinder. It will be cheaper."

The context it probably was not in:
R&T: "so why are you guys making a 4"
Tada: "because we know there will be people out there that want to swap in an old ass 750lbs 2JZ, so please buy the four-cylinder. It will be cheaper."

No way in hell is Toyota making a car just for engine swaps. Beside the 2JZ is crazy heavy (iron block). It would turn an already heavy car into an ultra heavy car.
Thanks for typing that so I didn't have to.
