Wow, very very similar to the 370z.
Copy cats! lol.

Personal opinion, I don't think its bad looking at all...a bit weak on the power side, but the aftermarket will jump all over it, and I'm sure it'll siphon away a fair chunk of the Civic 2D and Si crowd.

You probably really don't. Have you seen what's come of Subaru's styling since Toyota took over? :barf: I mean, look no further than the new Imprezas. :barf:

Even the Civic Si is past the 20,000 price point; I can see this at the bottom of the barrel starting at 22,000 and then going up to 25,000. If they can hit the sub 3k mark in weight it might be a good contender but with all the safety standards that are being required it will be tough.

I do hope to see good things from this, just hope this does not turn out to be like the Camaro. Hyped for some time and then a pretty "meh" launch.
The Camaro was stale when it launched. We'd already been looking at the design for nearly 4 years.

I'm probably one of the biggest Camaro fans you'll ever talk to, but that THING is just hideous. It's a true abomination to the "Camaro" nameplate.

Yep, I remember seeing it for the first time in 2005 (or 2004) in the Houston Auto Show, first time ever here. I was very happy to see it, but now 2009 and the world has moved on.
This car can do very well, with a set date of 2011 it might be able to hold the hype and launch very well. Now I might have a reason to stop by the auto show in 2011.

I don't particularly care for the design of this new Toyota. I think the "3/4 view" from the rear has a nice profile, but that's it. It certainly doesn't look half as good as the 370Z does.

I like it. But I dont care much for toyota... My mind might be changed if they were to finally release that supra or that supra in "lexus's body" as they say. I should say... When they release it.

I'm with you...if, when...its been running the rumor mill for how many years now?

Keep in mind that will most likely be a replacement for the Celica which will be driven mostly by teenagers and/or females. Looking at it like that I really like the design and it'll be nice to have something in that range after the demise of such cars like the RSX and Celica. This car will cater to a different demographic and will hopefully push some of the younger/inexperienced drivers away from the more powerful Z.

To be honest with you, I'm more interested in whether or not Mazda actually brings back the RX-7, as rumored. The Takai concept from the last year or two looks delicious, in my opinion.

Furai is interesting as well

Furai looks a bit too race carish for my tastes, but thats not to say that it isn't good looking. I just don't see it making production.
