Hanley (Toyota Australia Vice President of Sales and Marketing) says initially Toyota Australia is expecting a 70/30 per cent split in favour of the V8 but he believes over time, as customers experience the benefits of the four-cylinder and automatic, it will change to a 50/50 split.
In fact, he believes that the only reason customers would opt for the V8 over the four-cylinder, despite the former having less torque, higher fuel economy and a five-speed manual gearbox, is the mental and sentimental issues.
"In my humble opinion, so it's not necessarily right, the only thing preventing a V8 person going to a four-cylinder would be a psychological barrier," Hanley said. "Once they drive a four-cylinder and realise its capability, I don't think it will be a hard sell at all."
I guess I'm not a sentimental guy with mental issues!
