Personally not really that impressed by it, more celica than ae86, even more like a Hyundai coupe

Yeah I think it looks okay, like a cross between a new audi TT and a mazda of some description. I'd have one, but not with a Suby engine.

Would prefer a non-boxer engine but i'm actually quite liking the styling. Bearing it mind it's a concept car and as such the production car will be quite different.

Interesting stereo :?

I like it quite a lot actually.. rump is a bit chunky, but overall its a nice package. I would expect the interior will get toned down quite a bit though.. need more places for gauges lol.

I think it's not bad, looks a bit like a mini IS-F imo, and it's got a pokemon face......

Sorta like it. Need to see some more angles.

Need to have a popup version as well ;)

Keep it light, keep it N/A with some light internal parts to make it nice and responsive. Leave off the tracktion control and all that bollocks and it'll be a hoot to drive.

EDIT: DUUUHH. Click on the picture and you WILL see it from more angles!

It actually.... Kinda looks like the new 370Z from the side..... Not that its a bad thing.

Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

I may get flamed to hell for this, but if this and the CRZ were the same price & similar performance, I think would find it hard not to choose the CRZ over this. I really don't like the front end & bonnet at all, the roof line is pretty nice, but still think it looks like the Hyundai coupe. I do like the frameless windows on the front doors

stereo is kapai, rest of interior is typical concept car.

Agree that it looks a bit like the new z cars, would have liked to see ta true retro-restyled one.

YAY. That thing looks horn!

Very similar to the FT-HS (?) concept at the last Tokyo motorshow (which I think was great too...kinda like a Stormtrooper with wheels)

Lightness will be key. Anything over 1250 kg and things (engine and suspension response) will be dulled.

I like it, it's nice to see a modern design that doesn't suck. I'm tired of retro designs, if I wanted a car that looked old I'd buy an old car. The interior is obviously just show car fantasy though. Still, I hope it actually makes production looking something like that. To me it looks like a baby LF-A more than a Z.
