That makes no sense. 2 occupants will sit up front making it frontward bias. I think it's the other way around. 53/47 with no one in the car.

They would be well behind the front axle unlie the engine. Everything that said 53/47 had a * next to it and on the bottom of the page it said "* with two front seat occupants". Clearly Toyota didn't want to publish the real number with no occupants.

So this car have the same balance as most RWD coupes. This car will not outhandle a MX5. The GC and the 350z is 55/45. I thought all along this car was better at that.

How can you say for sure? The TRD demo car is clearly satin pearl white, why would they have 2 different white in the same model (Toyota)?

Because the other white Toyotas we have seen have been normal gloss.

I mean I hope I am wrong, because I want SWP


But based on some pics I've seen of the "white" it looks like a gloss finish rather than SWP

The way photos are shot/processed can make a huge difference in appearance. I personally don’t like pearl white but oh well.
