Porsche's VarioCam(developed with help from Lotus) had good reviews Toyota agreed to the engine deal partly because they dont see Lotus as a direct competitor to their cars. the same thing goes in F1, you dont see Ferrari or Mercedes supplying their engines to any other front running teams. or maybe its because Toyota have invested too much on the engine to let it go to waste. in the UK, only two Toyota cars are offered with that particular engine- Celica 1.8 T-Sport and the Corolla hatch 1.8 T-Sport. both cars arent doing too good in the market, so..
