Great footage of the interior here:

When is the last time any of us said something like that about Toyota? 20 years ago? Toyota is back, finally.

I wish! I have a reservation for the new ford lightning truck because I need/want an ev truck. And if I sell the evo I can have one of the GR cars.

I always told myself that my next sports car would have more cylinders than the Evo. But this little guy is definitely tempting.

I think a coupe would be better suited than a wagon/hot hatch. GR supra or the new Z

I had a mustang in High School and then Evo mid 20's. The Evo is a much better adventure mobile, and just way more practical.

Ohh you mean like me as a teen. Back in 05 I got a new gto. At 1000 miles on the odo, swapped the rear tires to the front and claimed it had a bad alignment to the dealer. Haha. It actually worked btw. I don't think the second set made it another 1500 miles....

Anyone have a torque curve vs rpm of something north of 400hp? Curious about the response of a modern but smaller motor compared to ours.
