Ahum... 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.QUOTE

Actually in the US the Corolla only comes with the 130 HP engine, even the S model...

Mindboggling... You get the Celica GTS in the US, but not the Corolla with the same engine. QUOTE

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?

Because we never get the good sh!t
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
Dude, you can get an SR20 in the USA from some importers and do an engine swap. You have no idea how fast an SR20 can be. I do though!! Haha.Because we never get the good sh!t

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!
