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

it should have been a more sportier that that...piece of crap

no offense....even tC looks better than that car!!

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.
