No Toyota turbo. I guess they aren’t buying into the reliability yet. In addition none of their fully Toyota cars are fun. I haven’t driven Toyota Corolla Hatch but the Corolla in top trim with a manual tranny sucked. Most Toyota are basic transportation. My Civic Si is fun and provides some relief to my long commutePorsche turbo

Honda would've been stupid NOT to turbo their cars.
The Toyota 86 is fun to drive, but not a good daily commuter as it is very unrefined. The MR2 was a fun car to drive. I've heard from numerous reviewers that the Toyota Hatch is fun and is also comfortable enough to be a daily commuter. My 2006 Camry SE V6 is fun to drive, not as fun as my Si, but is fun nonetheless. It's no slouch. The 3.3L V6 is probably one of the best engines Toyota ever produced IMO. Toyota is more into stability and longevity then performance...in other words they are reluctant to change a formula that worksNo Toyota turbo. I guess they aren’t buying into the reliability yet.

it feels faster as a DD though, srsly drive an FR-S...mine had header-back exhaust intake tune and felt slower then stock Si somehow (i know it wasnt, but turbochargers feel too good...)I don't think anyone will say going turbo was a bad choice. Keeping it at 200hp, however, was a mistake in most people's minds. I believe 1/4 mile times drop over half a second from just a base map tune. Think Honda could have eeked out 225hp and put a better clutch in without jacking up the price of the car too much.
