Your definition of "lackluster" is the difference of 15 hp? REALLY? I guess they shouldn't have wasted all that R&D on the nurburgring testing since the average consumer here obviously only cares about a meager hp figure. What a shame.

175hp is what would happen if you took the FB20, made it breathe better, and turned up the rev limit by 1000 rpm or so. But we know this engine is more performance oriented and stuff, so the 193hp was to account for a minimum expected 10% increase in torque.

Well it's been confirmed that the Scion is 200 hp since Jack Hollis debuted the car in April? The only debate is weight and torque

If 12.5% isn't that big a deal to you, when you finance the car tell the finance company you'll be happy to pay 12.5% interest on your loan. |

It's a minor difference, but I don't want to be the source for a baseless rumor. |

So if your audio system only turns up to 87.5% of the goal volume, you'd call the car lackluster too? I'm sure you would be very dissapointed since it didn't meet it's "goal". Point is, I don't want to pay for things I could care less for. That 25 hp could will raise the sticker price, something that Toyota is trying to keep as low as possible. Considering there will be a rich aftermarket, getting to and beyond the 200 hp is not going to be necessarily difficult. I'd much rather add some horsepower than subtract weight or fix suspension.

My mistake I didn't see it on the video, but it's on the Toyota UK site.
