Will we see the return of the 13k Ford fiesta? I strongly doubt it. Do I believe this increases the likelihood of Ford bringing a new fusion here that starts at under 30k? Yeah I do.
@DeluxeStang should have a field day with this one. 😎. Styling is very AMG GT.
Looks like Toyotas version of the mustang GT3/GTD. I heard rumors of a $500K price tag which I don't believe. I think $200k-$300k is more realistic.
Interesting that they went front engine and not mid engine. Performance should be stellar.
It makes it possible whereas the old rules made it almost impossible. Someone will fill that void but don't expect to see $11k Nissan Versas. Affordable doesn't mean cheap sedans or tiny cars.
They do it because they get away with it. Most buyers either don't know or don't care and the few that do are offset by the cost savings. For us it's frustrating but we're the tiny minority.
If it will be produced in Spain, it will most likely only be sold in Europe and maybe some select markets like Australia where it will be overpriced. Lol
Asia-Pacific markets will need one built in a regional plant. It's a bonus too if it had a version that isn't a plug-in, a lower-priced full hybrid is probably better.
This Toyota seems interesting, front-mid engine, rear-wheel drive with a transaxle, and aluminum construction. It's powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with a single electric motor integrated into its transaxle. It should produce 640hp or greater, and 627lb-ft or greater of torque. Its target weight of 1750kg (3858lbs) or less isn't too bad since it's a hybrid.
