Ugh.. why can't toyota make a new engine for themselves...

I won't argue that a S65 from a M3 or S63 Twin Turbo from the M5 wouldn't not be awesome, but what happened to toyota making good solid engines like the 2jz?

I feel the lose more credibility in terms of reliability when they source out other parts from other makers. FRS and their subie engine isn't bad, but I would have loved to see an updated 2zz or something similar to that in the FRS rather than a boxer engine.

Well the Subie/Toyota deal hasn't been so hot. The reliability on both of those makes is well below average. I'm thinking Subaru dropped the ball somewhere. I remember Subaru had a ton of problems in their past WRX engines.

Donno..maybe it's because they want to have someone to point a finger at when something goes wrong.
