Toyota are long overdue in bringing a good sports car to our shores in my opinion.
All the talk about business strategies & risk is all relevant, but you can't forget the corolla sportivo. Toyota Australia took one of the biggest risks possible, when instead of offering something already produced but unavailable here, they took a nanna-mobile and whacked on a povo turbo kit and body kit.
How did it sell? Totally shit.
If they can take as big a risk as the sportivo 'rolla, then they obviously recognise a market. This is also shown by the whole sportivo range.
But I guess this is also aimed at the larger portion of the market, ie the people who like bodgy kits & chrome mag wheels, with standard engines bar a chrome tip.
As for why we are Toyota enthusiasts, just look at our avatars! We're all living in the past, trying to relive Toyotas former glory.

Toyota Australia has been smoking crack for quite sometime. I swear the guys in Japan must ring up and say "ok we have got a fuel injected screamer with all the bells and whistles, as well as one slightly detuned down from that, then there is a more restricted version of this motor but still fuel injected with twin cams etc etc"
To which toyota Australia says "do you have anything with a carb?"

Classic, absolute classic!
