By-product of burning any hydrocarbon (such as octane, ethanol etc) is steam AND carbon dioxide.
The only reason that ethanol can be considered being closer to carbon neutral is that by growing plants to produce it, carbon dioxide is used in photosynthesis. This offsets that CO2 emmisions that come from combustion.

toyota released an awd turbo yaris in japan... maybe they could have stuck stickers all over it and called it a 'trd' version

toyota beat GM last year for biggest car manufacturer in the world.
8.35 million cars vs 8.97.
First time GM hasnt been the biggest in 77 years.
Toyota ftw, but seriously make some sports cars already or a proper trd corolla.
RT142 Estate.
AJPS.
Rwd Aurion Would never have happened the amount of money involved in completly redeveloping a car is insane they had the right idea with the trd rally corolla and there is a fella in the uk that builds awd corollas and celicas Fensport is the companies name.
besides who really needs a supercharged 4wd utility in this market?
As before they need the average motoring enthusiust to help in car development,
We need a light wieght rwd small capacity (such as the 2zz motor out of the celica)
And most of all it has to be N/A my thoughts any way
I was working for toyota as a detailer when they released the trd brand and got to drive the trd aurion and frankly a car with that tag price u i expected more.
The salesmens excuse was that it had to be tame so families could buy it and drive it so then what was the point of releasing it in the first place.
I love Toyota really i do but in all honesty I believe they didnt think this all the way through first.
They don't have to develop any rwd chassis - thats the most frustrating thing. All they had to do was get some current model jzx chaser chassis sent over from japan, adapt the camry/aurion body to fit on them and stick toyota australias gay 6 supercharged motor in it.
Or even better, bring the current chaser/mkII in and rename it the TRD aurion!
