ya... but, c'mon... they still can't compare with the super-hot Corolla S we get here in the US... I mean, c'mon... it's got an "S" in the name... it has to be better.

I wouldn't mind that as a commuter to work.

If I saw that car take off on the street, I think I would just stare in dismay...

No... this definitely should have been done... why WOULDN'T you turbo a small, lightweight 4WD car?

That's like being married to a Playmate and never having "relations".

lets see, Fensport is an tuner that works with TTE a lot. They took at 1.5l 4WD corolla and swapped its powertrain with Celica GT4 one, meaning 4WD and 3SGTE. This is not an ricemobile. Car can go, handle and brake. It is an engineering achivement.
