Toyota, being a stakeholder in Subaru, might not intend to bring a compact and powerful AWD vehicle to the North American market for obvious reasons.
On the other hand, they discontinued the WRX STI in the UK 1 or 2 years ago, so they have an unfilled, albeit relatively small market segment there and probably other markets in Asia and Europe as well.

F*ck. The thoughts were, when the time comes, sell the BRZ, sell mum's Yaris and get an auto Suzuki Swift Sport. Now I'm wondering if we could afford to own 2 cars. The wife could keep the Yaris.
It would be financially irresponsible but want.

Omg! It has a flat boot when the back seats are down!
Yeah, that's significant to me. *makes a note to phone the local Toyota dealership on Monday*

It looks an interesting car to me, but I cannot justify selling my BRZ. However, I would prefer to wait for the 2nd manufacturing year to place an order. Engine and other parts are entirely new and don't want to be the first time tester.

The sales guy thinks it's being released on the 18th of this month; he is having a sales brief on the 15th.
Having said that I think there is more fantasy than reality happening at my end. Small fun pocket rocket? Yes, definitely but it is also turboed and awd which are 2 things (on paper) I usually hold against a car. I hope Toyota Australia will have a day at the local track. I would gladly pay some money for a decent drive.

Not necessarily a bad thing being an awd. At least in real world situations with not so perfect road pavements and weather conditions far from a normal sunshine. On the engine side it would be nice to know how much turbo lag it has. The 3cyl 1.6 should be pretty much dead before the spool.

I know intellectually it costs money to have a large choice of colours and your colour choice doesn't make you go any faster but I am disappointed by the colour options. According to the Toyota Italy website there is a choice of white, black and red. That's it.
Admittedly they aren't just any boring colour names. One has Emotional Red, Super White and Precious Black. I hate marketing wank.

Let me try this again. I am disappointed by the lack of colour options but I don't really care. It's just that I notice the lack of variety of colour when I look at cars in a car park. 95% are either white,silver, grey or black.

I think the Yaris works in Black and the standard White, I don't like the Red or the Ceramic white. |
