Hopefully it comes here... and hopefully they don't goof on the engine.

Granted, it would have to be turbo. But I still say if it's less than 200hp (IMO 225 is the magic number) it won't sell. Toyota will want 25k for a sub 200hp car because it's a sporty Toyota - and nobody will buy it, and they'll say 'oh see nobody wants sports cars so we're not going to sell them'.

I can see this doing well if it has a starting price around 19k, and has 200hp low end model, and a turbo 2.5 with ~275 for 25k.

I think it'd be perfect if there was a 225 n/a model and 300hp turbo model, but we all know that's in fantasy land.
