Is The 't Sport' Brand Dead ?

[butterman]

Does anybody know if Toyota are planning to revive the 'T Sport' Badge again on any of their cars? It would be sad to not see that Badge again :( Other manufacturers are still making their sport brands, i.e BMW's 'M', Honda's 'Type R' and Audi's 'S'. Whats happening with Toyota ? What about an Avensis T sport :P a 5 litre 500bhp super saloon

As it stands at the minute yes it is :(

There are rumours of an Auris T Sport tho....

the T-Spirit was the avensis version of the T-Sport, unfortunately no lift as my dad has one.

I'd love to see an Auris T-Sport, the SR is a lovely car, but it would be better if it was an Auris GT4 ;)

Rumour is it will be a 250bhp Turbo Auris....

The 2.2 Diesel could be mapped to produce that much power or the 2 litre lump could have a blower added, however there is no chance of the conservative Japanese doing anything like this in Europe. The volume wouldn't cover the R & D and other costs like type approval etc. Its a bit like Honda and 240 BHP Civic Type-R 4dr they sell in Japan but wont market here just incase they dont sell.

Which is a real shame for us lot.

There is but not by Honda UK which is the issue as they are technically grey imports.
