Thanks for the translation cyde! So the Toyota will have lower height AND a more comfortable ride? Interesting. aMT may be referring to the "alternative" MT with track-optimized gear ratios?

Also, since we're talking audio it seems the car comes with the following:

High spec

25mm (1")tweeters
160mm (6") speakers
65mm (2.5") speakers

Low Spec

160mm (6") speakers

If I'm reading those dimensions correctly.

Can someone translate the two kanji on the front cover? I'm curious if it's part of the name of the car (which appears to be 'FR Sports')

Dry weight = 1,190kg? Then why does the spec sheet say 1,210kg to start?

The fenders don't appear to be uniform across the different models. I'm loving the TRD body kit.

Man, toyota and hyundai are really going back and forth with their coupes. I hope honda is watching...
I think there's way too many options for this car. I wonder if the u.s. will get the same treatment
