Cool hi

I know a little about the Toyota Supra TT but i know a lot more on the corolla. The thing i hard it that Toyota cut off the Supra because of the Japan emissions standards saying that the Supra have a very high emissions on it. all so on most of the japanese super cars. Plus Toyota is planning to work with the luxury line up. Now the only sports cars is IS300, Celia, and the Corolla.

The WRC Corolla was based on the Euro-spec Corolla, not US spec and it's basically a completely different car compared to the street car.

There's also the Corolla T-Sport hatchback, comparable to the Civic Type-R.

CTR.... what is Honda thinking with the Si?
It is heavy and only 160 hp.
I hope the Civic Si stink so bad that they will bring the real thing.

Enough *****ing... back to the program.

I agree Honda should bring over the 200 HP Civic Type-R but since when is 2600 lbs. heavy?

Unfortunely, the new one is not 1600+ lbs...
Edmunds indicates it is 1744 lbs.
Hence, the 0-60 in ~8.0 seconds.
Slower than the previous gen Si.

The CTR is reported in Europe to do about 6.7-6.9 seconds.

The new Si station wagon is a POS. It shouldn't even qualify as an Si.

There is not much differents in the Euro-spec and the US-spec corolla. they all have the same chassis name, same engine, but the looks is different. Then tell me what is the differents in the 1G Eclipse GSX, Talons TSI, and Laser.
