So i've been wondering fora long time now how is that toyota was not able to produce a powerful enough engine here in the U.S. to compete with honda. I mean how come honda was able to have 160 hp SI civics with b16 and b18 engines.The best the U.S. can come up is a 2.2 135 hp stock engine. How come they werent able to modify the 3sge with egr or w/e is necessary to pass U.S. emissions. Even it it had like 10 less hp. I mean i dont know if im just talking out of my butt or something but i want to know. Also, are the SS-III low and high beam headlights made out of glass??

hmm oh ok so since the gt-4 5th gen celi didnt get much sales with such a potential engine they decided to not bring 3sge engine overseas here to the U.S. cause it would be a waste of money right.
Also, the celica was overpriced right or were they around the same price as the integra....

oh ok so all the headlights are made of glass i see thanks
