Implication is 195 BHP, and a December release date, but don't quote me...

Edit: Part of the characters after the 0-100km/h section are in katakana and often for foreign words (English) and phonetically make "Deitamo". But that doesn't make any sense to me on its own, and sometimes katakana characters are just used for emphasis so that's the best I can do.

Going to have to weight for Ichi or Cyde.

Let me give it a try:

The acceleration data for 0 - 100 km/h is determined.

The two words (Chinese) before the De-ta (data) mean acceleration. The last two words (Chinese) mean determined or clarified. So the whole sentence of that 0-100 km/h should mean something like this.

The next line seems to be:

All specifics shown, 200 ps, released in December.

And this does not deviate from what we have known since July.

Having said that, I wonder if the author of this article actually *knows* all the details of the car. Maybe it is a compilation of all the information before..

Thanks, now all we need are some pics of the actual article.

As time draws closer to the release it's going to be harder to keep everything under wraps. The 195-200 HP range is completely believable. (and also confirms what I said about the GT5 version being around 10-15% more optimistic than reality, so I hope it's true so I can look really smart) And we do know they've been testing a mule for a while, so it's possible they've run some times in a very close to production version.

It would be nice if the Geneva version ends up being the production version.

We can only hope...

They are not showing the tail yet because they turned the car into a "SPORT" hybrid just like the CRz.

Wrong, they didn't show it because the tail lights were stolen from the car. .
There is nothing bad with clear lens tailights as long as there is LED.

IS it only me or what?

---Take off the flame shield---

What kind the rear end do you want? I think the design is very good already. What I'm worried about is, they would probably screw up the whole line and the fender vent( I could be careless if it does have vents at all). I just hope that the interior is not like 90s-like Scion tC2.

Turbo model( if there is one) should come with rear fender flare and -20agree to -25degree camber. We all can hope tho.

Hmm, It looks fat compared to the front end.

Something about the lights on the rear too. I made a request about that in the photoshop thread a while ago.

noone posted the other pics yet? I'll grab/scan the mag tomorrow i guess
