This is interesting news, but speculative at most IMO. At the moment, Toyota South Africa is planning to launch an Auris TRD with a 1.6 Supercharged engine! It will be at the Johannesburg International Motor Show in October. Sources from inside claim that this is a standard 1.6 1ZR-FAE motor (97kw/160Nm) with just a supercharged kit from TRD bolted on, but perhaps there is more to the story...............

I certainly do hope that Toyota/Subaru launches a new 1.6T engine - will hopefully be as monstorous as the old 4AGZE SC motors that were then turbocharged:happy0180:
