Quarter mile in 15.9 seconds for a turbo charged 5 speed?

Looks pretty cool, especially that engine

Thats not a corolla, its a Vios

***REN69*** · 04-01-2005, 09:57 AM

hey... that's true.. I just google'd toyota vios and looking at the toyota taiwan site, looks like a Vios is practically the equivalent of the Echo Sedan here in north america.

very similar fronts though.

I guess having the gauges in the middle of the car in the third picture didn't give it away at first..
