if they put in a nice big 3.5L V6 for 270HP and 6 speed manual, i will be so happy. that front air dam looks like it can fit a big intercooler, maybe a turbo trueno! a turbo 1.8L XRS engine.....mmmmm.
oh and although my japanese is really really bad, the little blurb says toyota is planning for this car to be sort of like an ae86 revival aimed at entry users. the magazine really wants to see it...i dunno.

Sorry man. The 2ZZ-FE is gone (XRS/GTS motor). 2006 was the last year for that motor. Now we have the 2ZR-FE dual VVT-I no lift.

It was a 2ZZ-GE, that is why it had bad gas mileage for the car

2ZZ had awesome mileage for what it is... obviously if you are not revving it. My 2ZZ-GE Corolla had better mileage than 1ZZ-FE MR2, while being 200kg heavier.

p.s. that image doesnt look like cheap 4M car at all... It looks like semi-expensive sports coupe, true next gen Celica.
If that car costs 15k, I will buy 3 of them. No chance at all.

Not sure how that happened, but a MR-S can easily get better gas mileage than the XRS, its not really bad, its just that I feel it should have gotten better gas mileage

It doesn't look too bad. I like it. It does remind me of a Bentley Conti GT.
