New Rice car..
 

HEY
Toyota has imported her super nice new rice car.
Its the new toyota Corolla T-Sport which produces 192hp by using a VVTL-i motor.This motor is the same with the celicas vvtl-i one.Also it has 6 gears and they claim that
0-100kms(60m)are reached in 7.2sec!
Price around 16000usd.... eek.gif eek.gif eek.gif

What ever happened to this car? Does anyone hav any pics on it and why the hell is it labeled rice? It looks like Toyota's attempt to bring back the entire "supra" vibe

its not coming to the states. Stop bringing up dead posts to whore on you necrophiliac.

Sounds good, smells good, should look good but why isnt it going to the states? :confused: :confused: :confused:

because toyota hates us frown

Because we never get the good sh!t :mad:

The North America was the only place in the world to get the damn s13 and s14 with the ka24. Everyplace else got the SR20DET :mad:

Isn't it because of the Emission Laws??? I have no idea what I'm talking about.

It's a tiny Euro hatchback and it's perfomance numbers leave a lot to be desired.

The Lotus will come to the american continent. And yes it will have the Toyota 190hp VVTL-i powerplant, as the original Lotus engine did not meet the emmision standards.
That is the same engine as in the new Corolla and Celica...

Yeah, its because then the Corolla would be in direct competition with the Celica, which is bad for Toyota... same reason (in my opinion) that the Elantra doesnt have the 2.7L V6 because it would compete with the Sonata, and why the Accent doesnt have the beta engine, as it would be in competition with the Elantra and Tiburon, which is no good for Hyundai... Who would buy a tib if the Accent had the same engine but weighs so much less?

Anyway, for Toyota fans - they are working on developing a new Supra by 2005. If the SUV craze starts to die the death it needs to, perhaps the US market will be ready for it. I know the Japanese market is ready for it and since I have a license to drive in Japan, I can go test drive one when they come out!
