You've stated that *actually* you want TALLER 1st and 2nd gears, giving 5mph more in 1st, a bit more in 2nd, with other overall ratios remaining the same. So what you really want is a closer-ratio transmission. Anyway, 4.1 vs. 4.3 doesn't make any difference to me in the 13-16 and 17+ cars, I've driven both, there's not much in it as far as enjoyment on the street. New car with 20% more displacement and torque is gonna be a lot of fun anyway, with a 4.3, 4.1, 3.9, or even taller (which I don't expect). 3.9 diff certainly wouldn't kill the character of the car, far from it. FWIW 3.77 diff would give the desired +5mph in 1st with the existing transmission ratio! |

Again, this is all subjective. I just love changing the gears 5-6 times in 10-15 seconds... it's fun! |

You would have *hated* my 987.2 Cayman! Geared so tall... But the mechanism was not nearly as good as the BRZ's so not as much of a loss. I may have given the impression that I *want* taller gearing, but as far as I'm concerned if they stick with 4.3 I'm fine with that. Given the big increase in torque combined with need to keep mpg reasonable with the bigger engine I bet they make overall gearing ~10% taller, whether they do it with transmission ratios or diff ratio. |

I’m very impressed with the GR Yaris, and I really hope it’s a sign of things to come from Toyota. I’m worried that North America won’t get cars like this though. Imagine how awesome a GR 86 could be. Give the car to a division of the company that can take it to the next level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

"Whenever the US makes such a ruling, it applies as well in Canada as Canada has a habit of rubber-stamping the US rules to allow for efficiency in manufacturing in Canadian auto industry branch plants. It ended up that as of Jan. 1, 1971, any new Citroën brought into Canada or the U.S. had to have a modified straight-ahead lighting system with no covering shield." "In effect, Citroën’s headlight engineering had been stifled until 1975 when the U.S. manufacturers could catch up and market their “new invention” Oh look they likely changed the law in 1975 so if it was in Canada at all it lasted a whole 5 years. They have every excuse in the book why Citron failed here except for the fact that they were total crap death machines back then. One way or the other if the law ever did exist in Canada it hasn't been on place for 45 years or so and is not relevant now.

I’m not arguing that they weren’t shit. The lights weren’t allowed. The end.
