Nonsense. In that vid it lost to the "heavy pig" everyone keeps panning (and let's forget how badly it was thrashed by the Mustang...) and its slalom, braking, and skidpad stats are no better (and sometimes worse) than last gen Civics and Celicas. The Lotus would run rings around it.
Everone keeps pointing to its losses as wins. Thats absurd at the face of it. It struggles against a miata (losing on the slalom in the Best Motoring vid, and pulling out close wins on the drag and time attacks), its only real competitor (and I predict the next gen miata will blow it away).
Toyota lowered rather than raised the benchmark. That's why they hype the "fun factor" and say "numbers don't matter". They will to the guys who track the car...
