im thinking more Altima Coupe, they look about the same size

The Genesis coupe will have a 223hp turbo 4 and a 310hp turbo V6 option. Starts under $20k. It's gonna be tough for Toyota to beat this.

They're still nowhere near the level of Toyota/Honda in terms of quality. They're near Ford/GM right now.

hyundai is whre toyota was about 10-15 years ago. their ouality is up there now and with the KIA brand getting bigger, Hyundai corp is lookin pretty good right about now.

Ill buy a genesis coupe.

now also keep in mind that GM ownes parts of toyota and subaru. so this may be a GM joint product too.

anyone know where this is going to be manufactured? i hope its japan

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.

Toyota's new Scion strategy:

Take this:

and Americanize it to this:

From the looks of things... it's almost too true LOL.

I think this sounds pretty promising. Can't go wrong with RWD, especially not when it'll have that boxer engine rumble *drool*

similar, but definitely different. Toyota's looks much better with the way the grilles are positioned.

In all of the different/similar concepts from all those manufacturers they mostly have the same type rear section. They should try n do something inventive with it..

Will the Red one replace the Miata?

The picture of the blue coupe really looks like a bad mash-up of the Subie Sti and tC/Celic. Hopefully this signals the return of the Supra in the not so distance future.

like the body style of the car........its too simple

but the performance seems to be great with RWD!!

Second pic; looks like it has Lexus features. But if it looks more of this pic...I'll make room for another Toyota made coupe.
