id say not significant unless there is also a boost in economy or a significant boost in power

179/172 for the Rav4 version. The current tC produces more power than the previous Rav4, so odds are it will be around 180/180.

wow, that would acctually be pretty cool, but they find better ways to raise power other then just raising displacement...

and i know sure as hell this will be more of a gas guzzler, 2.5 is stepping into v6 territory

9.8:1 compression, it'll do fine on low boost and 93 octane, just like the 2AZ-FE.

A 6spd w/ LSD would be nice... at least a LSD.

I see the motor has Dual VVTi too.

toyotas 3.5L v6 is so efficient and light weight that they should just stop F-ing around with these large 4cylinders and just put the v6 in their cars. either that or go the other way and make the car efficient. I would love to have an xB but it either needs to sacrifice 1mpg and get the 269hp v6 or it needs to get 5mpg better and use a 2.0L 4. But as of now you get almost the mpg of a v6 with the power of a 4. sucks.

so wait, will this be in the new tc, like next model year, or will it be in the new model that replaces the tc?

thread starter are you SURE this is the motor thats going in the new tC? or are u just speculating cuz its in the new rav4? reason i ask is cuz toyota is releaseing a new crossover vehicle called the Venza and it will come with a v6 (same as camry) and also a 2.7 liter I4. i thought that would be a fine platform as well since it will already be in production however no numbers were given last time i searched on the motor.

if they can keep sum sort of fuel efficiency in this 2.7 i dont see why not just go for that. with the help of dual vvti it should pull out sum more efficient ponies. 200 or 210 shouldnt be an issue for a 2.7 but ur saying they will use a 2.5 i just wanna know how ur sure. thats all.

Edit: Scratch that. its not a dual vvti 2.7 just regular kind vvti lol
