Re: SVX on TopGear website

Should be interesting...

I kinda like the idea of taping together an SVX and an MR2...

I've always wanted a RWD longitudinal subie-boxer powered SW20 MR2 coupe.

if it had window-in-a-window, and lots of features and a fast-but-graceful ride quality, with mid-engined handling balance with H6 power... Sounds fantastic.

Throw AVCS, and toyota's D4 direct injection, and Valvematic variable valve lift phasing technology on the EG block, and offer a turbocharged option... (EZ probably wouldn't handle a lot of pressure while still having a warrantable margin for failure...)

Say hello to the NSX successor that Honda refused to make...

Re: SVX on TopGear website

Wonder what market niche they are targeting. Z series BMW? Z series Nissan? TT Audi? which was the sort for the SVX. Or the "Tuner" Civic etc. market?

more like the Scion tC.

initially it was supposed to have 220hp, then 200hp, now 160hp. maybe by the time its out it will have 120hp. fail.

"Firstly, the power output. We should now expect the 086A’s FJ20 2000cc boxer four to produce 160PS, a good 40PS less than was previously quoted which is all due to stricter economy and emissions targets.
