I thought I read that Toyota will not use the same engine in the Corolla version. I have no idea who has a more powerful 3 cylinder, but it is pretty high HP for a small engine, plus 4wd, plus a torsen slip..

the word on the street is that it’s more fun to drive than the 86 or Supra.

As long as it not just a cosmetic upgrade and yes that is very high output for a 3 cyl engine
