I would have hoped the coupe would look like the one in the 2nd pic, but the rear looks too much like a M3. I hope Toyota/Subaru do come up with an original design.

The Genesis coupe is a rip off of the Lexus LF A front end. This is pure Lexus.

the Subaru engine part sounds promising, I just hope Toyota doesn't spoil the "fun" as usual with their unbreakable ECT/TCU encoding

I read something about a law going thru the US Congress that would mandate open access to computer codes (aiming at giving independent mechanics equal access for routine repairs, but should help modders as well) I like the beige/frontal speculative rendering, mostly because I can imagine it as a Subaru take on Scirocco :-)

I am thrilled! "Hopefully Toyota doesn't spoil the 'fun' as usual" by overpricing it... Is it going to be badged as a Toyota or some derivative of the relationship?

I just hope that being combined with Subaru now Toyota will sort their suspension system out. every Toyota i have owned and driven has been a pig to drive fast around corners and even slow around corners, it was a shame because their engines were fantastic.

I hope this is just a rendering of what it could look like and not actually what is to come, cause I see Lexus , Genesis coupe and Scirocco in this rendering. But having said that, it not bad, wrong colour though

That gold coloured one is pretty ugly, i think someone needs to double check their photoshops.

Thanks to the American wankers who have mandated this thick bulky look all in the name of safety, High Hoods, High Windscreens, and Now High Back ends and Trunks. Thanks America for stuffing up car designs...this bulky heavy look may suit Large cars for your fat asses, but ALL small cars are looking stupid because of these rules. Why don't you lot lose some dam weight, instead of looking like porkers. Then we might get back to cars with style.

The gold rendering should ave been what the Lexus IS coupe should have looked like. Loving the aggressive stance. Color combo is pure Top Secret tuning.
