If they had the SF-R on lots or even on the way right now (with a Toyota drivetrain) I'd be trading in the FR-S on the spot and buying the SF-R.
Why does it have to be too much to ask to get a Toyota designed RWD coupe with a Toyota engine/transmission?  |
Because aside from the 2UR V8 Toyota doesn't really have any sporty engines in their lineup.
Of course that could all change once the Dynamic force family rolls out in full (right now the new 4 bangers are the Camry 2.5L 203hp and the Corolla hatch 2.0L 168hp dynamic force motors. I think at this point theres still a few more motors to come to replace more of the non-dynamic force engines) and maybe some more manual transmissions (iThe corolla hatch might have the only new 6 speed manual....everything else seems to use carryover transmissions)
Also the TNGA architecture...not sure if its setup for RWD applications in a small sized car (AFAIK the Crown and the Lexus products are RWD TNGA...but they're all pretty big cars utilizing it right now)
