I know, but I have seen several sources (obviously nothing official) with similar info

That is because they all feed off each other. sometimes it even makes a complete circle back to whoever started it.

Too true. Still waiting on toyoter.

The stats aren't stellar, but it makes me optimistic that the starting price might be relatively low. Maybe I will be able to afford one after all?

I'm hoping this car is like the Chevy SS and a manual transmission will be made available a couple years after introduction.

...and then the SS got discontinued. =\

335 HP from a 3.0L inline 6 sounds pretty anemic in a world where the Cayman is getting 350HP out of a 2.5L flat 4 and Honda is getting 306 out of a 2.0L inline 4.

Is Toyota going full Toyota on us........again?

Once upon a time, I used to do the Bayview and Sheppard to Burloak every day for two years. I quit that job once I realized I was spending close to 25% of my waking hours every day in traffic.

I had actually wrote this car off a long time ago but if they can sell it for anywhere near what the 370Z is selling for then they will once again have my attention.

It will have a lot more area under the curve given it's a twin scroll turbo vs natural aspirated engine.

No, I just read that there will be an additional two electric motors at 80hp each to bring the total to 495hp.

...if only it was that easy & simple.. You know the NSX's 3 electric motors only give an additional 73 BHP right?

2 electric motors in a 6 cylinder car weighing 3200lbs would be very impressive

It's a next generation dual synergy configuration, using two 80hp electric motors derived from the current model Prius.
