Other than some dodgy styling around the lights I quite like it!

From some angles looks like they took some styling lessons from an S2000. Regardless the packages as a whole I am not partial to at all. Then again I'm not a fan of hairdresser cars

LIKE!

Yeah from the front there are certain S2000 over tones.
Looks like Elanish from others.

Not bad, hopefully they release it as a manual rather than the tippy they have shown there.

Yeah I saw this, this morning, looks good but im not sold on the front lights.

So its a 245hp hybrid? Will be interesting as to how much the batteries ect add to the weight and handling dynamics

by **Mr Revhead** » Mon Jun 27, 2011 2:39 pm

Hybrid so will be auto/semi auto or something.
manuals are history :cry:

Thought the same seeing the photo on there from the front up high.

But does look pretty cool!

You're not wrong. It's a damn shame cars are moving away from participating in the pleasure of driving to mediocre transit machines.

LOL I thought S2000 when I looked at that first picture.

Sounds like it's a concept, so the final car will probably look nothing even remotely close to that car?

...power jumps to 220kW

Awesome!!! Too bad it's a hybrid.

by **Malcolm** » Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:40 pm

Looks like it's big and heavy, wwaaaaaa

Toyota need to stop making concept cars and release the damn cars already. The FT-86 has two concepts and no production car yet. This has two concepts too.

Screw these new transmissions and hybrid BS. These aren't cars any more, just transport that goes fast. A proper manual gearbox is fun to use. Flappy paddles makes it too easy and not as much fun. And more than 6 gears is getting silly. The IS-F with 8 and a new Merc with 9. :roll:

that thing is horrible....

by **sergei** » Mon Jun 27, 2011 3:58 pm

I don't mind no gears, as long as it is direct drive electric, and a control (gear lever like) to adjust engine braking.
