3300lbs, 335BHP, 6cyl..............sounds familiar and not very impressive. just saying.
unless all reports so far are wrong then this is just a slightly beefed up FRS/BRZ.

article mentioned four diff trim levels.
I'm not familiar with Toyota's marketing......but wondering if they will wait and introduce the highest level later than the others. I'm not holding my breath after this long but would suck to have to wait even longer. I'm not a chevy guy at ALL but the C7 vette is all that I like and can afford at this point in time. So this seems like my only hope before I give up and buy some gold nugget jewelry and a stupid vette. (thought about trying to disguise the C7 with some aftermarket front and rear bodywork, but not much available as vette owners appear proud of their brand) |

Info release is one thing.
When will product be on store shelves? That's the kicker. The Toyota distribution network is a huge pipeline to fill, and even though they are masters at it you cannot go from auto-show debut (is it still a pre-production concept, or production-ready?) in Geneva to cars on the sales floor at your local Toyota dealership, overnight. |

Just a guess but BMW 335HP = N55 motor?

I'm very happy in Alfa land, but am still looking forward to seeing this thing FINALLY make its (hopefully) triumphant return, and also hoping it lights a fire under Nissan's butt to get a Z35 put together by 2020.

3300 is slightly heavy but if they did alfa giulia type engineering with the chassis. This may feels super fast? On paper stats for this may not be the key. BMW has had a hard time making a Z4 that can out class a mazda rx or a Z in terms of handling. Thats why Toyota is in the mix. And toyota just didnt want to build a new powetful engine for their sub premium sports entry. Maybe together they can find the formula? So far the Supra Aero looks sick and may be a contributor to supercar handling... Lets see? Toyota is underwhelming but this may be the turnaround?
