I'm fond of the concept and the intention, but the execution of it... DO NOT WANT.

WellsieTRD · October 6th, 2009, 2:02 PM

Its just a pity that Toyota don't have the balls to put it into production, cause I like that alot.

M3lover · October 6th, 2009, 2:03 PM

I think it looks good. Kind of a blend between the genesis coupe with the front and GT-R with the roof line.

As long as they don't make it a hybrid...

Except they might. Subaru and Toyota have been working together on a small RWD car (Note the fact that it has a boxer engine.. Subaru, anyone?) Also, a lot of people have been wondering when Toyota decides to cash in on the -86 name..

I think it looks fantastic, and I really want to see it go into production.

nsx_23 · October 6th, 2009, 2:33 PM

If that is the future of the AE-86.....then Oh dear.

Its not bad, but not brilliant either.

Donington · October 6th, 2009, 2:43 PM

The exterior is really nice. I doubt the interior will look anything like that on the final car.

Ladamaha · October 6th, 2009, 2:43 PM

Remove the silly concept stuff inside that nobody ever puts to production and it would probably be the most interesting car Toyota has to offer.

-Cpt. J.- · October 6th, 2009, 3:01 PM

This is like Toyota saying:
"Look we can make nice and exciting cars."
"If we want to."
"We won't."
"lol at you"

Seriously that looks nice. It doesn't have to have the performance of a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. It would be nece for Toyota to have something exciting and fun in their lineup. Other car manufacturers have tuned up versions of their basic cars in their line up. But not Toyota. Atleats not in EU.

Why?

airmenair · October 6th, 2009, 3:18 PM

I like it but I don't want to like because it's a Toyota

Night_Hawk · October 6th, 2009, 3:23 PM

The only reason I clicked on this thread was to laugh at whatever robot/crossover/desk hybrid concept they might have released.

Then I see a legitimate car thats not even a hybrid or anything. And its RWD.

Nothing really needs to be made fun of, so good job Toyota

In stark contrast... DO WANT

But if Toyota starts making more things like this, they might actually become mostly interesting. Hating it just because it's a Toyota is a pretty silly thing to do.

I quite like the exterior, though the interior has zippers in it and that's fairly stupid. Still, that's not going to be on the final production model if it happens, so it looks genuinely interesting.

I see nothing not to like.

We'll see what the future holds.

argatoga · October 6th, 2009, 4:15 PM

I'm not a fan of its looks, but more affordable RWD cars is always a good thing.

Arctor · October 6th, 2009, 4:25 PM

I absolutely love the way this car looks and while the interior is hideous in a lot of ways it will be changed a lot for production anyhow. I've been begging Toyota to make a car like this because we know they can make sporty cars if they so choose, but I'm slightly apprehensive about what it will be like to drive since Toyota hasn't made a very aggressive car in a long time.

Polly · October 6th, 2009, 4:34 PM

I really like it, even the stupid interieur touches like the zippers and the LCD-like display. It's so 80's but in a futuristic way.

Redliner · October 6th, 2009, 4:48 PM

High level of want. I loved the exterior design. I imagine one in white must be awesome.

AudiV6 · October 6th, 2009, 4:57 PM

Will people get punk'd again for that car's campaigne?
