Why is it that a 1.8 liter Honda engine w/vtec (B18C) has the same horsepower as a 2.4 liter Toyota engine with vvt-i? ____, even a civic si w/a 1.6 has the same horsepower! A tC can only just beat a stock Si and it has a much bigger engine, not to say I don' t like Toyota, since I just got a tC, but they just need to step up their engineering game! ...or stop putting sedan engines into sport coupes!

So far Scion don't have a sports car. And if you want a Toyota engine like V-TEC, look into the 2ZZ-GE, 4A-GE, or the 3S-GE.
