What is it that causes our engines to be so under powered? Is it the ECU's, or what?

"I hear a lot of people ask why toyota decided to put a 7afe or a 5sfe in to a celica shell. It just seems like a lawnmower engine in a lambo, it makes absolutely no sense." like jabber said they had the supra for power. there is no point to put out to power cars. the 6gc was ment more for looks. and is it not sexy? they put in those 2 engines cause its meant to be a daily driver car. and they know those are good engines that last a long time(dont u just love toyota engineering). "I should do more reading to find out exactly why they just quit selling MR-2's and Supra's in the states. They just didn't sell?" they werent in demand. the sale for those 2 cars drematically decreased. why? cause SUV(Stupid Ugly Vehicle) were the new trend. it was around that time when suv's blew up and ppl loved them. so what did toyota do? said f**k the sports car were doin SUVs now. ta da the highlander is introduced. and i think sequoa round that time. now ppl want sports cars again. voila the volta. |
