Don't know about you guys... but I'm in! :)

:eyes: Could it be possible? Everything we've dream in 1 car?? :ponder:

It's too generic looking...

seems too god to be true, but if they are planning on going through with what's planned, these things are going to sell like hotcakes.

Read the article. They said it would come out as a RWD Subaru, then if successful, possibly a Toyota.

Toyota or Subbie, sign me up.

-THE DON

I am game. The most responsive n/a motor I ever had was a 2.2L sohc ej22. Modified that thing was amazing. They make it look a tad more sporty and I will buy.

I am SO in. Looks sleek. Please don't make it tall... :pray:

:shock:

Watching. Waiting.

I hope they improve the design. It has a 90's front end. Looks like a Mercury Cougar.

or heavy. hell, I'd settle for a lightweight RWD 2-seat hatchback with 170hp and ~2500 lbs. maybe it's just the pessimist in me talking, but I'm afraid it'll get released exactly as that in Japan, and then they'll Americanize it for us by adding 2 more rows of seats, 1000lbs, FWD, some funky sheetmetal and colorful lighted cupholders and sell it as the new tC. :rofl:



Toyota's new Scion strategy:

Take this:

and Americanize it to this:

I like the front end :P Perhaps a little face lift or a lil futurising :ponder:
As for the rear:

that mid section (underneath the taillights) is in limbo at the moment.

:clap: Next Gen AE86!

looks awesome, can't wait!

It actually looks a lot like that concept AE86 drawing that was done years ago.

I just hope Redline will be OVER 7-8000RPM

nope. I'll take a hard-hitting turbo over a rev-happy, torqueless engine. :P

^ nono, i mean it with a Turbo & a Torque filled sprectrum.

x2

well now i know what i'll be buying for my next car... I'll have to invest in some monster studded blizzak tires but it will be worth it!

if its subie it'll probably be awd like their other cars which will add the 1k lbs.
if its toyota it'll have the lovely accessories you mentioned that will add the 1k lbs.

theres no way car companies will make what we really want, theyre like strippers. all they do is tease and leave you wanting...
