Still not as good as it could and should be. TRD should have to resources to make it beat an ITR. I didn't see any mention of an LSD, I thought it had one. They should be getting 220HP out of this engine too.
And since when does just taking 2 gears to get to 60 mean a car is fast? That slows this car down. Should take 3, isn't that the point of a 6spd.?

Toyota went to the Corolla for rallying. I wouldn't mind the 2.0l Turbo, AWD, Corolla hatchback they use for that though, but that will never happen in the US from Toyota.

Anybody know what the article is talking about when it refers to the A, B, and C pillar being strengthened?

That's what happens when you have a nice list of very affordable high performance cars in your country. ****ing American market sucks. At least we have 300 different SUVs to choose from.

Well, it probably means that they double welded the pillars or used different stiffer materals in there construction. Thats what Honda does with the entire body of the R.
