so on ....
I was thinking about buying a Corvette Stingray while it is still front engine but, I think, I will need to take a good look at Supra as well. |
Where is the car built?
What is the gearbox from?
What engine is it based on?
As for the engine and build design, yes, Toyota did add their imput into the design, but, to what extent?
I've found information stating that:
The engine is a redesigned BMW job
Gear box is BMW
Rearend is BMW
Interior is BMW
Electronics is BMW
I'm looking forward for all the smoke to clear
There is still to much speculation and hearsay, and information from reviewers that smell like stupid
I see it being typical to rhe Toyota and Subaru twin calabration
