Looks like they have confirmed production of it, 2011 or 2012 is looking most likely for release. Nice touch with the 086A model code.

Looks good, it's about time Toyota came up with another sports coupe.

The front lights remind me a bit of a Mazda though.

Funny how it doesn't resemble a Subaru at all, the wheels maybe, i don't know. Anyway, hopefully Toyota is giving Subaru a heads up on engine reliability. RWD Boxer, couldn't imagine it to be anything but fun.

IMO What they should to do is make a RWD version of the 2ZZGE with the altezza 6 speed.

I think it's very Mitsubishi like in the nose.
Tidy that up and they've got a nice concept.
