Omg...this thing is gonna handle like a dream! Finally, it's been too long since toyota has mass produced a true sports car. I can only wish I will find a stable job when the higher end model comes out, then I can trade in my tC.

How many people that buys this will mod the engine though? Right out of the lot, I want to be able to enjoy driving it already. Plus having a flat 6 won't stop tuners to find a way to mod it either way.

a lot more than you think, I think... Toyota is selling this car pretty cheap and is going to market it towards the tuning community... and the Turbo 4 Subaru uses have more torque and HP than the H6 they use... the 4 weighs less, and it makes the car's weight more evenly distributed... and with the weight of car, if you only mildly tune it you'll see fairly good results...

I don't know, I guess I can see this being like the 370Z but even with that car, about what percentage of the car sold are modded/tuned? 10%? 20%? I still think it's a small market, I could imagine more people buying this and thinking they can beat any car on the road right off the lot than those who plan to fully modify this car.
I still prefer a NA 6 over a turbo 4, just has more grunt on the lower RPMs w/o lag. More balanced powerband.
Don't get me wrong though, I can understand why they'd choose a turbo flat 4 because of the cars size but if the car is offered in both engines, I'd choose the NA 6 w/o hesitation and my guess is most people will too.

I don't live around that type of culture so I can't say for sure... bit with the price point, weight, type of engine, and size I don't see why it wouldn't get a lot of love from the tuner community...And this is nothing like the 370Z... the Z cost just about twice as much and is a lot more "technologized" with its rev Matcher and what not...

What? The 370Z doesn't cost twice as much as this. Like I said I haven't been paying much attention to this vehicle but I could have sworn this is being projected to be around $25k. The 370Z starts at $31k, that is certainly not twice as much. No way this car is going to be less than or the same price as the TC, which starts at $18,500.
Any car can get love from the tuner community though. There will always be a company that will have a mod for almost any car that looks remotely good. Heck, people made superchargers for the Toyota Matrix.
