only 400hp?

I guess that's ok......it'll be a little bit quicker than the current one at least.....

There is no way in hell they'd incorporate four wheel steering into the platform. Toyota is basically bank rolling Subaru at this point.

The 1st gen didn't even get camber adjustment.

Rear-wheel steering is around $1,600 on a Porsche Panamera, with a lot of that cost likely already having been diversified among VW group.

In a BRZ, it would probably be $2,500+ and a maintenance nightmare. So yea, sure. It 100% rear-wheel steer. Give me 1 good reason they wouldn't make it an option, at the very least.

It's a trick question, by the way.

What they didn't reveal is that the car isn't 4 wheel steering, it is literally rear wheel steering. They bought the design from Nissan, taking the Super HICAS from the R34 and updating it. It's called Super HORSESHIT. I gots inside info.

I'm going to get a Civic Type R and drive it in reverse for the same experience.

Nope, not dark enough. Looks to be closer to Hyper Blue.

My brother's 2020 RS has this tiny flap or spoiler. The Ford Focus RS has something similar, but only for European models

This is a good point. The article is quite speculative and clickbaity to say the least, so I'd say it's highly improbable and maybe even undesirable in such a platform.

The car is all about that minimalism so I always cringe whenever I see people arguing for more power, which almost always equals more weight.

I actually have some concerns that the 2.4 liter is going to make it heavier, though I hear that that engine supposedly weighs as much as the FA20.
