you are correct... The IS430 will be a V8 but the V6 from the existing IS300 will be used in the new car... thankyou for bringing this to my attention... i was somewhat angered buy the responses on the other thread, they weren't as carring as you, and the brain thinks faster than the hands can transfer . .
As far as the sales numbers the GS series is actually doing well the GS300 made good numbers all years since 1998, the 400 and 430 only suffer a bit but that is because of the big price difference with little to show for it... Oh and I did research thankyou
you didnt comment about toyotas new line of cars.. they will luanch this summer in the west coast and later this year for the rest of the U.S ( assuming your in U.S)
yes honda would be concerned about that because....
1. Honda now attracts a younger crowd than present toyota
and the new line targets this crowd..
2. the new line will have very competitive pricing...
3. I've heard nothing from honda as far a a reaction to the new line
OChDX <--- you said it yourself... the SC430 is 60k the supra will be 30k the lesser amount is more for your buck, and the performance is equal/better and the frame is shared.. even if they target different markets the concept is the same performance / luxury the supra will offer leather, cd, etc.. so why wouldnt it be competition? if i sold a box of ice creamwith carmel swirls in it for $5 and a box with a tiny bit less caramel swirl for $3 both are made by the same creamery, but the more expensive is called premium which would you buy? depends on how much caramel you want right?
but if money was a concern to hell with the extra caramel right? exactly....
OChDX <--- you said that the Avalon is FWD correct.. and the avalon is v6 but toyota is ridding itself of the I6 and converting to the V the I6 gave more balanced weight distribution, and of course if one box of ice cream hase 6 nuts in it, and one has 8 nuts, but they are the same container and ingredients what difference dose it make if i push or pull it off the self ? they are still bassically the same one just has more NUTS
why have they ruled out I6 -> I dont know <-
It was my personal opinion being that I am a Fine Arts Major that the corolla frame was game for the IS panels. and the IS300 does indeed sport the I6 that the 1998- i think about 2001 GS300 holds... if the corolla frame holds Rav 4 then why cant it hold IS?
The next generation celica will recieve a hp upgrade meaning more hp... whats so hard to believe about that?
Hummmmmmm the high end supra will come but maybe not soon.. it is to quench the thirst of the die hard supra fan... the ones who love performance and love toyota.. and if benz is making an exotic now, why shouldn't toyota match it, if BMW has damn near exotic cars? and they may not even turn out very many probable only 50-100 per year so why do you see somthing wrong with that...... You angry person you
I did however enjoy your feedback you were more organized in your approach .. next time arrange a thesis statement, and then attack you'll be closser to accomplishing your goal. oh and please feel free to search for the new Toyota badge i believe its Sicon . . there are only two models so far.. oh and TRD is now making drop in engines for their models now i think called kuzumo .. very simular to the B engines honda has.
hummm you must not just say you are wrong and then its so.... you have to prove your thesis statement... but you didnt have one
Thesis statement
body
reason
reaserch
restate thesis
conclusion
closing statement
but unless your a sick sick person you wont do that
everyone keepem comin!
