Duy, are you giving the sportivo to Lauren now? :P

When your not looking, I might stick a TRD badge on your Focus if you manage to score it. :ph34r:

Nice,I would not buy it due to 2 doors, but i hope it's successful so that Toyota has a good look at it's strategy and stops pushing the corolla levin as a hot hatch cause it's a grocery getter.

Last fast corolla made was in 2005, and we all know even that needs some improvements to really zing.

actually, remembering the concept back in 09, i was hoping they'd make a 4 door version of it for australia... but i'm with ya on that if they only come out in a 3 door hatch :(

I will no way in this life and my next life pay $60,000 for a ford focus. It looks like a great car but the price tag is stupid.

Impressive? Hardly. But I do like it and I do want one.

60K for a FWD sports car. In my opinion anyone who purchases this is an idiot.

I don't believe it will ever be possible to "eliminate" toque steer completely. Another PR campaign by a car manufacturer telling porkies.

The proof will be in the pudding if it manages to out perform the likes of the WRX and the EVO on a track.

It's as fast as an GD STi around the Top Gear test track

One day torque steer will be eliminated on powerful FWD factory models...someone will crack it. :)

would be interested if someone could give me the low down on this RevoKnuckle system/setup. :unsure:

But then again, the TRD Aurion could have the same comment applied to it when it was sold and instead saying you could get an FPV or something :lol:

Anyways, I'm not a fan of smaller cars so my comments are already biased. That said, I don't mind the look of the front end of that Focus, but the car in general just doesn't do it for me.

but in that instance u r comparing a large car with a large car ...... in this scenario the question is do u spend $60k on a ford performance hatch ..... thats a lot of coin to be spent on such a small car ...... the r32 was already borderline acceptable but it made up for it in being awd and other bits n pieces ...... i dunno only time will tell when more info and results come out about it but yeah like u i am not sold

Ok, that is impressive. But IMO not enough to warrant the costs and how ugly it is.

some middle aged woman driving it. i beeped and asked her "when did u get it delivered?"

"it's not mine..." (with a strong european accent) "i'm running it in for the dealer... it will go on sale on the 1st of october"

"can i run it in for you?"

"haha, u can wait until the 1st of october... oh wait let me get you a brochure"

then took this picture and rode off as the lights turned green...

Running it in my a55. Probably cooking the clutch :lol:. That's just my jealousy speaking.

I'm not a fan of small cars though, so even though it would probably be wicked to drive, it's just not my thing. Still hate her though.

Plus I just hate Ford for personal reasons. That said, I'd love a Ford GT or Mustang.

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
