Remember the concept they showed a few years ago? A twin-turbo V6 (280KW)!

Oh well that changes everything...if its Toyota, I couldn't give a fuck.

But i hear they have been doing alot of stuff in their design facility in Melbourne. Remember that REALLY good looking concept they had on their commercials some months ago?? It had really clean looking front headlamps (forget the name of it)...well that was Aussie design believe it or not.

lol images/smilies/wink.gif


Anyways i think you could be right coz i just got told by someone that it says "can't wait for tommorow" at the bottom near the toyota badge..
And if u remember the commercial a few months back it said cant wait for tommorow with everyone going to bed.. lol

But who knows it could be something completley different..

I hope.. images/smilies/sad.gif

Dunno...something like that. I actually did a small assignment on it for school but me being me I'v forgotten everything I learnt about it images/smilies/lol.gif

This Sportivo is a hellava lot better in everyway than all the past Sportivo's ever done. Don't know if thats exactly what they will call it though.

Fingers crossed they release it JUST LIKE THAT with the scissor doors. Just think...that was designed in Melbourne.

Im sure that someone will have the news about what it is.. and the website will probably either have re-runs or just have the info sitting there..

All we can do now is wait. images/smilies/sad.gif

If it's a Toyota thing, I'm tipping either the new V6 Camry, or the new Avalon, either way a great cure for insomnia : images/smilies/zzz.gif

Yep, every 5 or so years Toyota try and come out with a car that will revolutionise the Australian motoring landscape. It will have a 6 cylinder engine and loads of space. They will spend millions of advertising. Oh no, they will say, it's not like previous attempts. This will work, it's what Australia has wanted. We plan on selling 5000 a month and we will put Commodore and Falcon to shame.

Watch them sell 250 in the first year......
