So is this a 1-litre engined car? Or does the 1.0 bit suggest it is the first release and shouldn't be touched until 1.1 is along with bug fixes?

No, it is a 1.8L - the same engine the corolla has. The 1.0 means that it is the first edition release series. They have been making the car for a while now, all the release series does is add accessories and special paint... you shouldn't worry about any bugs.

I don't know where you came up with the price for this release series but Germain Toyota said they were 17900.00 for an automatic. I love this car. I want this car, but I can't see paying 3 grand extra for a cool paint job.Very disappointing.

The price that they show also does not have the delivery, processing and handling fee (About $660). It is only $1,999 for the release series, and when you consider the body kit is about a grand, its really not that bad a deal. Especially considering the increased re-sale value of having 1 of only 2000...
