Its Polish, unfortunately they do not say anything about the car, other than someone in the background asking repeatedly where the blow off valve is located.

Why put a turbo in 250 when you can buy a 350?

Maybe related... skimming the news yesterday, Toyota is said to have secured the trademark/copyright on the name "GS 200t" in Japan. I don't have a source and am stating this from memory. The conclusion drawn is that they are putting out a turbo engine next year on the GS. I suppose an IS would follow.

Price difference btw 250 and 350 is not that big, to stick a turbo in a 250 to get about the same hp as 350 isn't worth it in my opinion. And yes turbo in a 350 sounds much cooler.
