Very good looking car, I'd rock it. A bit too GTR though but meh it looks good. The seats really ain't my taste but overall I say, finally a sports car on Yoto's behalf after so long.

i sure hope they don't put a solid rear axle in it similar to what they did in the ford mustang. Additionally if they price the car north of 25k I would probably buy a used 370z.
Play your cards right Toyota! |

Is it just me or we are looking at new Celica? Subaru engine inside is correct and release 2011 as well... Ii just can not believe Toyota would make two sports cars at the same year!

You might be right,
god after staring at those pics for a good 10mins, it has grown on me alot. I really like it now, I just wish they fix up the front a bit. Looks like something out of Nissan rather then Toyo. -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica ST 25th Anni. Edition #461

I like the exterior of it, but the interior makes me want to vomit. Luckily it's still a "concept" and if they do go through with this I hope they bring the interior down a lot. Maybe a nice set of Recaros or something.

I like the exterior...a little unusual, but it looks like car design is headed in this direction, so Toyota might as well be the first to do it. The interior, while new and innovative, looks like a ricer's wet dream.
I HOPE HOPE HOPE that this will be similar to an MX-5 in terms of handling. The two small seats in the rear will be a detriment...but if it can be made as tossible, as light, and as balanced...I would definitely get this car. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

I'd rock it. I can probably already tell you where in the price range it's going to sit - right around 30k. It'd be a direct competitor to the 370Z and the Hyundai Genesis.

Am I the only one who thinks the front kind of looks like a stretched out RX8?/S2000 mix?

boo!! it looks way to futuristic. Looks like that car is made for the year 2020. Ya interior is too much. The car looks to sharp, they need to smooth out the curves of the car.

The car looks to sharp, they need to smooth out the curves of the car. back in 1992 when the Supra MK IV was shwon to the public, toyota got reactions like that, you are completely right about the car looking futuristic, but wasn't toyota known for starting trends when comes to car styling ? I hope this starts another era of toyota sport cars. --------------------  |

Love it! Especially the 'turbine' wheels.
I say in 8 years, it will look classic. Then most of us might consider buying it when the price drops a lot, like our 6gens have. I like it in green (I photochopped it)

I personally just love that Toyota is actually building its first sporty FR compact since the 80's (no... the Supra's not a compact). Also, I think it would be a mistake if Toyota marketed this as competition for the Genesis and 370Z. C'mon... it's gonna have somewhere around 150-180 hp tops out of the Subbie 2.0 boxer and I have a hard time imagining this thing any less than 2400 pounds... and who knows if America will even get that same engine (or the actual car even...). We might get the SOHC 2.5 thrown in there. If Toyota were serious about competition... throw in the STI 2.5 DOHC turbo... then you're looking at eating alive the 370Z and Genesis... but if that were the case... it's gonna be near 30K.
As far as styling goes... I really like the profile of the car. The rear is OK... not lovin' the lower half of that rear bumper... and I'm not a huge fan of the headlights... but I think the body lines on the car looks great. It's just a concept though... albeit a production concept... but a concept nonetheless. The seats are probably not gonna look like that... the interior is probably gonna be a bit more simple than that... and I don't see it rollin out of the factory on carbon-fiber inlaid 19's... But hey... it's more realistic than any "new supra"... and I'd get one for sure. This post has been edited by Kwanza26: Oct 6, 2009 - 2:52 PM -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
