Assuming this is 29,990 drive away.. They have a winner

Personally interior takes me back to my 2002 Integra Type R – suede seats, red stitching, silver tacho, circular side vents with flaps – a good thing!

needs a new steering wheen, dont like the centre of it.

top car now if only they’d release it before the Koreans announce something better..

Needs a plastic wing, 20 inch chromies and underbody neons.

I agree with Mohamad

It looks like a softer weirder version of the 370z

i am disappointed. lets see the subaru version

Has three pedals though Milobob.

The rear is so Subaru, and 150kW of power isn’t too encouraging. An old WRX will eat this for breakfast. It ought to be really good with everyone waiting forever for it.

You know what I don’t understand, is why is the design so retro. The windscreen could have been faster rather than being so upright. The nose is still to fussy, odd shaped headlights and the rest. (at least the ridiculous LEDS are gone.) Tail lights again should be cleaned up. You’d think they could figure this stuff out by now. It’ll never be thought of as a point in design when things were just right eg the very first Celica, 240Z, dare I say it, Monaro (last one) It looks sort of like a late 90s Supra (a handsome if conservative car) with a fussy nose and tail. Still better this than nothing.

So much hype for these cars, they better make my dreams come true. I’m personally more interested in the new Supra and NSX in the works now.

Add a turbo and RWD /AWD and it starts to get interesting

I find this car pretty

All those people calling for twin turbo’s, AWD etc are clearly missing the point. Here’s a clue – the concept has those magic two numbers ’8′ and ’6′; meaning this is all about being a simple light-weight and relatively cheap sports car (how cheap in today’s market and how Toyota interprets that is yet to be seen).

It seems that just like the original AE86 (which was Corolla based) the FT-86 isn’t trying to re-invent the wheel – a boxer engine for a low centre of balance, Imprezza based chassis with RWD rather than AWD for lighter weight and less complexity and well sorted suspension tune.

I’m really looking forward to this.

Lets face it we are all dying for a car like this…. I personally cannot wait until they can get a 200SX back in showrooms, but after all this time and concept after concept I feel disappointed that it didn’t blow me away.

Good on Toyota for doing something that isn’t boring. In fact high praise for it, in an era clearly defined by its environmental conservatism, however, at the same time cars like the Supra, the early Celica’s, the 1st and 2nd gen MR2′s and the 2000GT were quite timeless in there styling and this just seems a little try hard.

Perhaps it is because it is wearing a bodykit or perhaps it is a symptom of having to look different to the Suby version, but after the visual excitement of LFA I just thought there would be more detail and less fuss.

Looking forward to seeing how it goes though and hopefully it spurs Nissan and Honda back into the game.

For all the people askng for a turbo:
Subaru (who built this engine) have already stated that it was designed specifically for natural aspiration and that turbo charging it will ruin it. That is why they are splitting up the new Impreza and WRX cars because the engine in the 2012 Impreza was also built for the same reason. Therefore, if you dont think this has enough power, shut up and buy a 370Z
