here is the link

recall quite a few years ago, a company (think its lotus but not 100% sure) developed a sound system that can make a inline 4 sounds like a v8 from inside the car. perhaps ricky can try something like that to emulate the sound of remus and gruppem

the golden times of toyota have gone, hey man they even killed
the beloved Celica and Supra, look at the mf crap cars offered by HK Krown motas
boring and ill equiped, they don't even bother to put 0-100km times.
i think their best cars are the Estima/Alphard at this mo.

MR2, good times, mine was super Red II with TVIS (induction which sounds like a gruppe m) behind your right side,
and revving to 8000, 4th gear 120mph!! 4AGE twin cam 16v engine, the equal to the honda B16 vtec,
which leads me to attack Relianc motas, why bring in ill equiped Hondas, the JDM are much better, why have the
current saloon civic when you can have the UK civic which loooks 1000times better??? why why why.

next jap car which are going down the drain are Subaru, why did they bring out that pig ugly "new" impreza???
i bet their sales figures are crap

Billhk Toyota MR2 is coming back.

Reports claim Toyota may build an environmentally-friendly rear-wheel-drive Toyota MR2 coupe utilizing the Toyota Prius Hybrid Synergy Drive. A Prius-based MR2? Yeah, that'd be the third horseman of the Carpocalypse.

The car under speculation would be influenced by the FT-HS concept car Toyota trotted out a few years ago, which was then powered by a hybridized 3.5 liter V6.

The gasoline powerplant is not mentioned, but the car would get a heavily massaged version of the Hybrid Synergy Drive with gear selection courtesy of steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. An unnamed Toyota executive noted the targeted price point is somewhere around $24,000 with a 0-60 MPH time around 7 seconds. So a historically quirky, lightweight mid-engined, manual transmission sports car gets green by going heavy with hybrid bits, an automagic transmission and God-only-knows what powertrain layout. Get the pitchforks

certainly havent seen a lot of excitment from japan lately, other than the nissan as pingy mentioned. hopefully, toyota will have some decent stuff from their f1 involvement in a few years time. subaru is taking $30k from their stock cars, probably you are right to guess their sales figure is crap.
