I think it looks alright, wonder about the power & weight and suspension design?

Power for the Toyota version is suppose to be around 250HP I believe.
Weight is suppose to be sub 3,000, but not sure on suspension yet.

I do not see how, the car is still in R&D.
Toyota has stated first arrival in the US is 2011 and even then the design is still not 100% set in stone yet.

here a little FT86 suspension talk

rear suspension is double wishbone, all the suspension should be similar to impreza:

Maybe a test unit? Though normally with test units they cover badges, zig/zag tape, etc.
You sure it was not a Gen coupe? Similar fast sloping hood with a short wheel base style.

WOW...............that car is just as exciting as the Pontiac Solstice!
