From this spec...

2.0L 4 cylinder engine
16 Valves
Variable valve timing, steel tubular exhaust manifold

150ps non turbo
4wd with viscous diffs centre & rear, that can do doughnuts on ice/snow/very greasy roads with ease

Front strut brace as standard

235 section tyres
Air & CD as standard
Indicated 125 mph (where allowed*)

Any Ideas?

Why were you blind folded? or have you forgotten?

Mitubishi Pjaro/Shogan Evo?

Sounds like a Skoda except for the Variable Valve timing? didn't think they had that yet?

2.0l Variable valve timing would suggest Honda - but the power is too low. K-Series ?

A seven style kit car based on a 4wd drivetrain with K series power ?

VVT also points to Toyota - I was going to say new MR2, til I saw the 4WD drive bit.

Are they bringing out a Yaris 4x4???
