Toyota FT-86 teased by Gazoo Racing [video]

like the idea of putting a prototype into race. nice vid

Really looking forward to the release of the FT86 and BRZ. Having said that, it is not a patch on the original concept which was much more modern and edgy. Toyota have predictably caved and softened it but it is still a fine looking car nonetheless. Finally something appealing with a Toyota badge on the front again.

I am a Toyota fan, but I have noticed every time they have an edgy, sex appealing design they recourse to the very conservative/tasteless for the final product. Seems like they settle between extremes of design from this iteration for the celica(cheap/boring) to the LF-A(exotic/eye-poking styling) no middle ground in the crosshairs. It would be a novel idea to perhaps stick to the concepts which does have a better eye appeal as a final product from the Celica to the LF-A before who knows which dept in the company rules in the final say. I am truly hoping they distinguish the Scion FR-S with the upcoming Toyota Celica because it looks cheaply done from headlights/tailights/overall front & rear skirts! If there is going to be any healthy sales on this vehicle is just going to be on Toyota's quality talents only nothing more!!!
