I really don't think people need to worry about fuel efficiency, this is Toyota afterall. I think they can definitely do as well as economy cars with similar displacement engines, if not better, since this car is light and low, and based on the stuff about D4-S, they'll be putting a lot of effort into the engine. With direct injection, the most advanced valvetrain tech, who knows they may be able to beat out some economy cars...that would certainly be nice
I think if sports cars are going to survive, they'll need to show that performance doesn't really come at a huge cost to the environment, which they have the chance to do so.
At the very least I don't think it can be any worse than a Celica, which gets pretty fantastic fuel economy and has a much older engine.
