I realize this is gonna be a slow car compared to the Z. i dont believe Toyota/Subaru were ever trying to build a fast car. They wanted something more like a miata than a Z.

If it handles like a miata, it will be a blast on the backroads. It may not have the power that some wish, but I think you are right. They probably want this to compete with the miata, which given the details, it should be pretty evenly matched. We will just have to wait and see what happens when the test drives start coming in.

Called a Toyota dealership in Nashville asking for delivery dates for a test drive. Their new car manager knew nothing about the vehicle, said it has never come up in his future-planning meetings through 2013, and told me to try calling the separate Scion dealership. So I talked to that new-car manager, who said they don't have anything for dates but expect to get them in spring. He'll call me back with any info they get and try to get me the first test drive.
I didn't let on that I have no intention of actually buying one ![]() |

If this car had even 220 to 240 hp, I think it would be world's better. That said, I've owned two miata's in the past and if car delivers the driving "pleasure" and engagement of those cars, it will still be a hoot to toss around on some back roads.
