    Default No exciting Toyotas?

    Are Toyota going to produce something moderatly exciting to drive again?

    We.ve had RSI's in RunX, Corolla and both Conquest models for 20 years ... but nothing exciting in the pipeline that anyone maybes knows of?

    Before the RunX RSI, we had a Corolla RSI in the late 90's ... and 160/180 Conquest RSI's early 90s ... and before that Conquest RSI in the late 80's

    I meant the badge has been around.

    We're starved when it comes to the sport coupes too.

    Toyota and hot cars is a bit of an oxymoron is it not ?

    Well ... both RSI's were the quickest naturally aspirated 1.6 and 1.8 cars on the road. The 10 year Corolla 1.6 RSI is still one of the quickest 1600s on the road.

    Hahahaha shame man...

    Maybe theres a Auris Rsi coming out
    I think Toyota SA must have given up trying to stay in the Hot Hatch market with all theses newbies. I still think they make very strong powerful engines, but with the lousyness of the previous RSi nowonder they quit...

    The Auris is quiet a flop right? I hardly see any on the roads, the Yaris is also dieing out....

    I think the guys at Toyota SA are a bunch of conservative twats that look at the numbers first. God forbid they actually bring the Celica out here.

    Does Lexus count?

    Lol Dolby it looks like you're going to be stuck with that RunX for a while
    Procrastination is like masturbation. It may feel good at first, but when you look at the task at hand, you're actually screwing yourself.

    I tend to agree. For me, Toyota is like the older nokia phones - reliable and stable, but boring as hell...
