It's been a very long time since Toyota has had a car like this. I think this will be the next major tuner car for gear heads. The mild difference between the Subaru version and the Toyota (Scion) version is going to make the Toyota much more appealing (unless it becomes too common and people get the Subaru just to have a different badge, and color options, then modify the suspension themselves). Toyota is talking about using the same flat boxter engine with turbo applications in future cars (rumors are about it being the next Supra), but the turbo combination doesn't seem likely to make it to America any time soon. Fortunately, Toyota knows what it has and is trying to court the after market tuners. They've already given an FR-S to GReddy, and it's only a matter of time before AEM, HKS, and the other attainable tuners start pumping out functional improvement modifications.

The engine hits the ideal 100 HP per liter of engine mark. It's rear wheel drive. It's inexpensive and aimed at a youthful audience. This car's going to be a big thing.

Not sure how it got viewed as spam.

My reason for posting it:
I'm an Australian living in HK at the moment. Any realistic looking gun is banned in Aus, so when i saw all the realistic looking Airsoft guns in Mong Kok earlier, i Googled the subject for more info, found this clip which i thought gave a good range of examples of what's available as there were no airsoft posts that i could find on the sift.

Thanks Boise_Lib, Barseps and the ever present siftbot

It makes me wonder if this is the result of over population, or the way the government sets up the communities. Living too long under martial rule maybe.

Definitely martial rule, because doing anything out of the ordinary, or just showing curiosity, might get you in trouble (plus, the law is weak and you can often get away with murder, but repression is merciless, so why turn yourself in?). I'd say a high population density would on the contrary help a bit. Exhibit A: Hong-Kong, which is 100km from where this took place, and where that kind of thing would not happen. Note that I'm not saying that there would not be a bystander effect in HK, I'm saying that a child being run over twice and then ignored would not happen in a freer/saner society. It's just not the same level of horrific.
And to be fair though, this story generated major outrage in China.


It has nothing to do with martial rule. China's repression is notorious, but only aimed at politically sensitive topics. A child getting run over has NOTHING to do with politics. No government official is going to lose face, there's no embarrassment over touchy subjects like sovereignty or religious freedoms or human rights or government corruption. No one has to watch their backs or think twice about helping someone in an emergency out of fear of the government.

It is comforting to be in denial, to blame this on our differences. There must be something wrong with THEM; this could NEVER happen in OUR civilized society. The fact is, whether its a homeless man bleeding to death on a street, or those who cannot empathize with the millions of people without jobs or health care in America, or this poor child, these are just faces of the same ugliness that is humanity.
