Only if the little thing isn't flimsy and have mad chassis twisting.. but I fear Toyota may just try to beat Domestic companies to the punch for the sake of bragging rights to say 'they're still leading the way'.

Only to have someone get killed again in the process. It's not a Miata, which has almost 20 years of development behind it, nor is it a Camaro which has some mass (along with the Mustang to an extent) to take the blow and save someone careening out of control in a corner doing 50+.

Something this small.. you may not survive a bisection by tree. The Camaro and Mustang.. it's been done. Why do I say this: with a good majority of owners possibly being around my age, we're still dumb and young enough to pull a stupid stunt like that. I did between 50-60 backwards into a wall at the strip. All I had was a sore neck.
