I saw that article, but you bet your ass no Toyota car will EVER have SH-AWD. Toyota already has a buttload of AWD cars in Japan...hell you could buy an AWD 2JZ wagon or two over there.
AWD turbo Corolla is cool, but I doubt it. They'd probably do that for the Matrix; I can see them making a Matrix GT-4, as they have a "Caldina GT-4" over there in Japan and its the equivilent of our Matrix and even has a 3S-GTE!
