If I'm not mistaken, Toyota is the only car company (except GM with the Cruze and Nissan with the Sentra) to only offer "anemia" in driveline options? Honda Civic has the si, my 2.0 turbo in the Verano, Elantra GT is 173 HP (still not great, imho), a turbo 1.6 in the Kia Forte (nice engine, poor economy), 2.0T in the Jetta and Golf, Focus ST, Subaru WRX etc.
Toyota dropped the optional engine years ago, presumably because it didn't have a high sales rate. But that was in a different Corolla which would never have drawn buyers with much of a pulse, and besides, the optional engine wasn't that great either.
I can't help but think a performance related option would sell decently enough. However it isn't likely to happen. Toyota is only interested in performance/Motorsports that have no relation whatsoever with what they sell (ie; NASCAB tube frame race cars), because they think people are so stupid that will sell cars (and many are).
