The second generation of any beloved vehicle sure has a way of eliciting demands for perfection. I saw the same thing in a former life when the second (and consequently the third) generation Yamaha R6 hit the scene. Dudes were wailing in the streets and vowing total war because Yamaha dared imagine a bodywork shape that wasn't a mild iteration of the previous. Full disclosure, I was one of them in 2006...
But come on, guys. Let's not pretend as if the previous model had no drawbacks, in an effort to preserve our nostalgia about what we already own. The duck bill is a deal breaker? Like the moustache on the 1st gen was just deliciously attractive? Buncha nit-pickers, we are. |

Based on Ken Gushi the improvements sound very promising.

I wish the camera was a little higher so I can see the track. I'm interested in the increased stability

I'd kinda say to take these with a grain of salt/sand, since Ken is sort of a shill for Toyota, given that his racing/drifting team is part of Toyota.
But, still sounds good. I also love that color spec.

It sounds VERY VERY VERY satisfying to rev out, but I don't reckon its completely natural. And personally, if it is actually enhanced, I will be ASKING for the sound enhancer! Fake it till you make it |

If you really wanted to sound cool, we'd inflate a balloon and tie it to the frame. |

My only question remaining is are we getting red interior option?
Because if not, I will riot.
