post up that info 3tc! I think I've seen it on my other forums. I think they could use a better choice of engine. definitely move out of the F series head and stick with the G series like 4age, 3sgte or 3sge. I would settle for a 2AZ-FE because the Camrys, Scion Tc's and the Xb use the same engine. Mass manufacture them to be cost effective. I would think it will fit in great in the Scion family! Toyota right now seems to be doing too well as a family oriented company. Scion on the other has a broad landscape of after market parts included turbos. 120 hp in a car that will probably weigh in over 2600+ lbs sounds like weak sauce.

Click the image above for more images from Best Car.

Within days of announcing Toyota's formation of a "Committee to create interesting cars," this summer's Best Car Plus magazine reveals that the long-rumoured new AE86 type car has indeed been spawned by the group and should be in showrooms in the winter of 2008.
The new article goes into some detail of the new car's spec. Under 4m long and 1.7m wide, it's pretty low at 1.35m tall, and engineers have been directed to keep weight below 1,000kgs. Power will come from a 1.5L 2NZ-FE good for 120 horsepower. What has been unknown until this time is where Toyota would source a cheap RWD drivetrain, but Best Car has learned that it will come from new partner Fuji Heavy Industries - better known to you and me as Subaru.
And the best news of all? The committee's final directive is to keep the new car's sticker price below 1.5million Yen. That's about $12,300 USD in today's money.
