115fwkw. Compare that to my gz20 soarer from 88. It made 115rwkw when stock also. I don't see any improvements there.

Seriously, unless you have BIG dollars you won't get a sports car these days, all you'll get is a dressed up family car eg. HSV, Sportivo and the list goes on.

I think you're confusing Flywheel kW with Front wheel kW...

The 1MZ-FE makes 115kW at the front wheels (from what was stated above).
The GZ20 had the 114kW 1G-GEU (flywheel kW).

Even if you compare it to an MZ20, you'll find that the improvements don't just stop at a single kW figure... Torque delivery, fuel consumption, no BHG Wink are just a few improvements to the engine department.
If you've ever been in a new Camry, you'll see how sturdy they are. The build quality is just awesome.

You just can't compare them.


No you can't compare them. The 15 YO soarer is just leaps and bounds ahead of the current designs.

You can't deny it though. All of the "sports cars" these days are just family shopping trollies. HSV, XR6/8, VRX, "sportivo", etc. All are 4 door family cars trying for sporty looks.

What we need is a return of the peformance car. To me the car industry died in 1998. The only thing that has kept it from a total loss is subaru with the WRX.

And as for european looks that was ranted above, heck, if I did have a BMW or merc, they would be the best looking thing on the road, because I don't know where else in europe they got the "european design" from to create some of the most butt-ugly cars the world has ever seen. Certainly wasn't from where they got the designs for BMW or Mercedes.

In fact, if it's touted with "european design" as a highlight, I take that as a warning to steer clear because you know it will be a shocker.
