BMW 3 series rear end. LOL! Sadly, I'm loosing faith in Subaru and Toyota. There is no REAL Impreza, and Toyota dropped all there Sports models. Now that they have come up with something, it looks ugly. Mitsubishi and Nissan are the only cool Japanese manufatures these days.

Nahh, this this it not the real car, looks like a bad combination between a Tvr and a Hyundai cuope.

bits of ferrari 599 aswel, front end. the blue car looks alright, the grey one is hideous!!!!!!!!!

I hope this is not the new supra. This concept looks to have more or less the same wheel base as the tiburon. And even the body style reminds me of it.
They really should come out with one that more or reless resembles the supra, (long wheel base with a low nose)
This just looks horrible.

Blue one is spectacular, only what would be expected.
Grey one is weak sauce... very "green" age inflated, bloated piece of combined Japanese effort for a money grab. [puke].

Good spot! Yep, this is just a nerds fantasy. Nothing to see here!

I do not like comparing the design of future cars to existing cars because always will you see commonality in design. It is an amateurish practice. But when you reveal a design that looks like the product of an Elise knocking up a pro-life 599, I can't help myself. I don't think I can begin to list the dozen or so reasons why I already dislike this car, safe to say its timing (being completely inappropriate) and its design (see above) are on that list.

Well I'm going to be in the minority and say that I like it. It may look like a F599, but when it's only got a 2L 4 cylinder boxer, such style is not often seen. Still, it's only a prediction and I'm convinced that Toyota and Subaru will be able to make something good out of it (even if current Toyota and Subaru models look bad!). This won't be a family car like the rest of their current line-up so maybe they have something special in reserve.
The idea of an FR Subaru boxer makes me wish I could afford a track car!

Hate to say it but the Hyundai Genesis Coupe I saw in person a few weeks ago has more character than the car in the 3 point view rendering.

I am surprised no one mentioned; "IT LOOKS LIKE AN R8!!!!"
No, the front end looks more like the current Lotus Elise more than anything. I too say that there is absolutely no originality in design on this car's exterior. But then again, keeping in mind the origin of this car's home country...

The one in the 3 point design looks like it should be the next celica coupe, not the supra...

If it's ridiculously cheap then this one any day!
Else I'd go for the 370Z because the Toybaru is already a "low budget" car while the Nissan has more attractive points.

As always the WCF cynics are alive and well and talking shite... If Toyota don't have a sports car everyone's critical, now that they are having a go again - same same.
Anyway how often does "rendered speculation" tun out to be just that - speculation. Until we get an "official" look at these things we won't fully understand what this vehicle is all about. Be sure of 1 thing though, when these cars do arrive we all know that even if they arent the prettiest cars on the road , the value , quality and reliability we always get from the No.1 Japanese Manufacturer in the World will be assured. Asside from anything the Blue car looks Great!

This is one very ugly 'speculation' image... yet with Toyota's recent offerings, we can only hope this does NOT become reality... maybe Subaru will come to thier senses and makes sure the real car is a lot better.
Peace!

Ferrari 599 as someone mentioned earlier with Lotus headlights?
October 22, 2008 10:34 pm
Can't say I would be surprised; nothing coming out of Toyota's design house has been amazing and recent Subaru's (impreza cough cough) look like turds with shiny mags.
Guess I should reserve my comments for when the official pictures come out huh?
Great article Thami
