There's general consensus that the twins are fun.
As a sports car, it's a let down. Notwithstanding hooning potential, there's no point in getting all excited over a sports car that gets destroyed by virtually every other hot hatch on the market -- especialy considering the typical hot hatch is meant to be a compromise whereas the twins are "purpose built".
Purpose built for what? Bragging to some guy in a Civic that you have a FR car, and therefore have the superior vehicle?
That would be fine if the Civic was being destroyed on the track, but it's not.
Again, this is why everyone hollers "it aint about the numbers!".
Of course not, The numbers are pitiful relative to the excitement that was generated.
I say, screw 'em.
Toyota, just give us grownups the twincharged version you built, charge us 35 grand for it, and let the children drive their cheap toys.
As things stand, Toyota is very close to bringing back the FWD hot hatch as a viable sports car option... whoops.
