Toyota S-FR Concept - does it preview a baby coupe MX-5 Rival?

[Conan]

Toyota does own Daihatsu.... Copen redux?

Daihatsu still makes the Copen. They came up with the new one in 2014.

Apparently it's also a bit like the old BMW Z1 and the plastic outer panels can be replace "easily". And there's many option you can choose from. There's even one that looks sorta like the old one!

^ Whoa, news to me. That old-school Copen looks awesome.

It looks kind of 2000GT-ish, in a good way. Make it in that bone white color and we may have something neat.

Oh, and for pete's sake can we stop with the trend of cars this size having 4 lug wheels? Nu-Miata, I'm looking at you.

Why not? It opens up access to a huge aftermarket of wheels already out there.

What's wrong with 4 lugs?

Oh, this thing might be RWD. I thought it would be on a FF econocar platform.

4 lug wheels are a rarity in North America. Most cars are 5 lug. Guess which has the bigger aftermarket.

More lugs is always better. unless it's a centerlug racing wheel.

Dodge Viper all the wheels.
