Hey, if Toyota wants to style themselves as the company that makes cars that connect to the drivers on an emotional level, I'm a fan.

Not sure there's anyone else doing that right now. Make it!

Why is that a problem? And where did you think the engine was going to come from?

Toyota engine > BMW engine.


Just look at the engine of the GT86, which is a Subaru engine. It has so many problems.

Almost l of which are related to the hobbled together fuel injection system combing DI and port injection. Want to guess who developed that? The flat four that Subie contributed works great with a turbo and without the Toyota FI system in the WRX and other cars.
