Hi there.....

Has anyone else seen Autoexpress this week??

A few pages in on a side column there is a press release about a "New Yaris Turbo" being release in Japan!! It looks like a new gen Yaris with differant bumpers and wheels......is this the new Yaris turbo?? One slightly odd this is it says its got a 1.5 turbo engine?? Not sure if that a mistake or what??

I saw that. I was a bit confused too.

If I remember right it was 1.5 turbo but only 150bhp?

Whats the point if the new 1.8 TS is 130bhp?

I doubt Japan will get the 1.8 tbh. The 1NZ-FE already has a large amount of aftermarket parts for it available in Japan and it will sell better than a newly developed 1.8 (which tbh doesn't look all that great). The old Vitz RS turbo was a 1.5, this one is probably a straight engine swap with the main thing needing to be changed the turbo manifold as the new Vitz has a very squashed up manifold
