Toyota unveils 2007 Yaris T-Sport Concept

[why?]

The Matrix AWD is pathetic to say the least.

Those tail lights are sweet!!!

Hope they'll be available on eBay soon!

I love the look, but that new grille is blatantly stolen from the new VW GTI.

1.8 outta' be pretty darn peppy in that thing... I've got the same one in my Vibe, and though it's by no means a beast, it'll go when you want it to, and that's in a much heavier car...

That grill on the Yaris TS has been out since February 2005 on the JDM Vitz RS, so maybe the GTI stole it from the Vitz...

If they bring this 1.8 version to the US, I promise you guys you will have a 350-400 hp turbo yaris cruising around NY
LOL would love to swap the pistons out of that motor and turbo it with a garret unit
that thing would be a rocket with the Yaris's weight

I wonder how much extra the T Sport will cost (if we even get it in the states). I want a Yaris bad, but if it only cost $1-2k more, I might wait it out. I bet the mpg is just as good as the 1.5L... the 1.8L in a manual Vibe is rated around 36-38 mpg, and as I said before, that's a heavier car.

Oh, BTW, they keep mentioning that Storm Grey color... think that's the only color it would come in?

Let's say, money for "tweaking" the car was no object. My ideal with this car would be to bore it out about 40 over, balance and blueprint the engine, I'm not sure exactly which way, but I have all sorts of contacts for Tin and Tin black (Titanium nitrate coatings) for the bearings and the piston sleeves, put a turbo running about 20 psi...... Something like snake wants to do I think.

[why?]

If money was no object I'd buy a Toyota Supra Turbo and mod the engine for 1000 hp and add AWD.

So, anyone heard anything new on this? Production or no? Stateside or no? Projected dates? Anything?

~YR

EDIT: Hey why?, I just noticed you joined a month before me, and you have nearly 700 posts to my 40.... how on earth....? Do you do anything other than cruise this forum?

I started doing taxes for a living in Jan. The entire tax season I did about 50 returns. If it wasn't my father's company, and if I wasn't getting payed hourly, I wouldn't have done it at all.

Of course, getting paid to surf the web and play computer games is a good thing.

I rest my case.

Don't listen to Island boy, he is just trying to insult another online community.

Compared to what he said on Echo Fans he is being polite.

hahaha..dude, why?...you got WAY TOO MUCH FREE TIME and YOU'RE WAY TOO GOOD AT RESEARCH!!! you should be a lawyer, not an accountant!! btw, what part of Japan are you in? wanna roommate?


IF they release the Yaris T Sport here in the US (not gonna happen, power-to-weight ration in that thing ALONE would make it TOO COOL for the USA) I WOULD PREORDER RIGHT NOW for a 2008 :P If you look at fuel economy on the Celica GT-S you will see that for a 2500 lb car it is very efficient. I would go so far as to say i would get JUST AS GOOD mileage from it as the 1NZFE based on my hard driving style (i'm overworking the little-engine-that-could past efficiency).

I want one soo bad...the power to weight ratio would be amazing...good thing the fiancee is the one that has the yaris sedan...bout time to trade the grand marquis in
