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.

Pretty out there interior but i'd drive that for sure, no matter what the engine (as long as it was fast)

.

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.

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.

A screaming NA 4 pot or I6 with ITB's for max induction noise plz

ft86? what happend to the o86a?

its not bad, good to see the are cntinuing with the project.. dont like the heaidlights or bumper mutch tho.. looks alot like one of the early lfa concepts

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.

definitly from the same blood lines as the IS250
