Yup I saw it, looked really bad. Obviously they think that age crowd likes looks not performance and handling.

with that said isnt it a turbo 2.7 engine? some dude turboed a normal hilux and it ran 11s.
"A turbocharged 2.7-litre petrol engine producing 200kW of power ensures that the lowered Catalyst has the performance to match its looks."

I fixed your URL. Yea, that's the story.
Why did they bother to turbo the 2.7 when they have 1j+2j engines? Hell, even 3uzfe's. And not to mention clutched superchargers.
And why bother with:
"It is a think tank where people are encouraged to think outside the square."
?
Are toyota so lost they have to try to hammer everything for a new idea when they had the best things already?
"The main idea is for younger members of Toyota's workforce to generate new ideas or alternative ways of thinking - the more extreme and unconventional the better!"
That's the problem. The more "extreme and unconventional" they think they are, the more boring and cookie cut the end product is.
"Let's just lower the 'lux and put in a killer sound system like those honda guys do".
"Oh yea, and get the gay guy on the team to design some swirly paint effects. Like you see it on all those sic lancers because you know he's got taste".

They should get some people off this forum to come up with "new" car ideas... like bringing back the MK4 to production! And having a Supercharged or Turbocharged MR2.

Nice to see you agree with what I originally said.
