tC Killer?

Quote:

The tuned up sedan is called the Toyota Corolla S3 Concept and fitted with stunning bodykit, triple razor-blade-like front grille, new rear bumper, spoiler, dual-tip exhaust and huge 20 inch billet alloy wheels.

The Corolla S3 Concept is powered with a supercharged version of the Corolla XRS’ 2.4 liter engine with front mounted intercooler bolted on. The brake and suspension system has also been upgraded.

Interesting to say the least. I hope this isn't a repost. Nothing came up in a search. But even if it is, discuss anyway.

I think it's awful. I mean, I like the new Corolla... but this is just bad. A Ford grille and disgusting wheels is the best they could do?

Then again, I don't think I'd call it a tC killer anyway...

If you're not into the whole VIP thing, then the wheels would seem out of place. They're nothing new though.

change the wheels and I think you have a good looking car... BTW... why make an intercooler for a Corolla instead of a tC? Morons...

i think it looks good but come on... do u really think toyota will come out with something like that? an intercooler... no way!
in concept it looks and sounds good (the idea) but in reality its not going to be close to that.
other than that i thinks it looks pretty cool.

The 20's are excessive.
The upper grille is awful.
The 2 reverse lights on the bottom is idiotic.

Other than that, its aight.

that's a build from my friend at Street Image...see my sig. The wheels were custom made by him along with the grill...i wish u were able to see the engine bay...it's sick!! I'm not even sure how it runs because i know it was towed from his shop to the dealer who requested it, and even he said he didn't know because they told him they just wanted a show piece...didn't even have to be functional.
