I'm not feeling it either. The rear end does look like a mix of a BMW and a Hyundai.

The wheels look OK.

Well I hope they use this extra time to improve on the body style. That thing is just ugly.

Its a sketch people. It is sad if this is true but I am sure if it is RWD and around 20k and they change the design a lil it will sell nicely. Just throw some nice 18's and a lip kit and it will look 20 times better even if it looks like that. Id rock it cause most people prolly wouldnt know what it was and would be checking out you exhaust as you go by. LOL

Not such bad news, because that thing is FUGLY.

Note to Toyota/Subaru: Eviscerate the jackass that designed that thing and come up with a new design.

There has been about a dozen different sketches of this thing. I wouldn't go with any of those sketches just yet.

Aside from the front end, that thing looks WAY better than the tC in every way, and it's RWD. Go ahead, flame me.

Oh wait! So this vehicle won't be the replacement for the tC then? Oh my!

Isn't that what I've been saying since MAY?? Yeah, nobody listens.

Also, I still say this is going to come out expensive and with a Lexus badge.

do you even know what "artist's conception" means??!?

on a serious note, guess it's official that my next car will not be from the Toyota/Scion/Lexus family...

Oh well, sorry Toyota/Scion. You achieved the first part of your goal (getting people who wouldn't buy a Toyota to buy a Toyota product), but completely, utterly, and TOTALLY FAILED at the second part of that, providing products that will keep me in the Toyota family. You've offered zero since first producing the tC (and I'll include the bloated T2B and xD) that is at all exciting, interesting or novel. You've watered down what was once a cool, edgy brand by trying to appeal to greater amounts of people, and now this.

Congratulations, Toyota, you've successfully Saturn'ified the brand.
