does toyota have an official 'rumor mill' department?

while he could be quite adamant about all of it, it makes almost no sense from definition of where it sits within either brands product lines, or how tada chose to define it from the beginning.

it's a mid-level, low production sports car. it is never, ever going to beat the supra in spec sheets. by doing so, it would become the halo car. subaru has the impreza as the halo car, and toyota has the supra. neither brand is going to be willing to undo the legacy of those names for a cheaper lower volume vehicle.

i don't believe a large enough market exists to sell a turbo and na version side by side. while the ascent motor has been rumored due to compliance simplicity, i highly doubt the power would increase over what the ascent has.
