You misunderstand. More development goes into the 2.0 because of the WRC. The 2.5 was a knock up to help with the US getting shit fuel then brought over to aus becuase of the marketing hype. The general public think more CC = better.

They still rev it the same.

Why would you be disappointed? Have you driven a JDM twinscroll 207?

Love the overall look of the interior still not fond of the exterior.

So many different Combo and settings to use.

damn not much improvement on the interior from the current one, as for exterior cues looks pretty much mediocre, beefed up lanos or best a mazda 3 on steroids

I said Wouldn't be disappointed. No I haven't driven one but from everything I have heard they go better than a single scroll 2.5L all the way through the rev range.

Just hoping they'd come in a bit more towards the top of the seat and give better upper body support....
Though looking at those two photos again its seems like there's a different trim on each... one fabric and the other leather (or probably just budget vinyl

)

Grey for me with BBS wheels. any idea on other options ie. suede/cloth combo v's leather, 4 v's 6 pot brembos, manual v's sequential gearbox, upgraded suspension?

I can feel the heart rate starting to flutter........
