Our aging LS4's aren't prime for RD anymore. Maybe the 430's but we're ancient history for tuning market products. TRD Japan had some nice products way back...I wish that they would recognize the tuning market for the states.

Time still passes regardless if they actually do anything about it... Regardless if it 5 years or 50 years... they revived it. And it is out... just not available for purchase... The last I checked, the IS-F is going for sale soon along with the slew of parts thats are already being produced...

Yes, to say that something will never happen is wrong (and note, I did not say it - so your apology is accepted). But give the guy a break, he said it five years ago and you and I both know it should not have taken Toyota this long to come out with this car.
