The newer FA24 is going to move the car faster like the 10th Gen XRS (That did exist, powered by the camry's 2.4L engine. https://www.motorweek.org/reviews/ro...ta_corolla_xrs) in that it's getting more power from displacement and I don't suspect much else. It also isn't as likely to enjoy revving out just because it's a bigger engine.
This is 100% speculation though. When they're out I'll test one and we can all laugh at my terrible predictions if it's way more fun and I end up trading mine in or something like that. I don't think that's happening though, the styling also isn't very appealing to me vs the current gen. |
The 10th Gen XRS was using a completely different engine tuned for a regular passenger car, and made way less power than the 2ZZ - it was not faster.
It had more torque of course, but torque like an agricultural vehicle, not a sports car.
