    I'm still waiting for the production model.

    Let's remember how different the GTR concept was to the GTR.

    Not like its gonna be a night and day difference but i wanna see how the production necessary bits change the look.

    a)what is a P2?

    b)that Trueno photoshop color scheme is dumb. The car doesn't look anything alike, I understand carrying the cheap light FR setup on but do we need to make the car more AE-86-ish than that?

    c) this new car is gonna kick ass. same formula as genesis (cheap FR car) but made in Japan and not Korea.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    last I heard it was about 40k euro's, equate that to US dollars= not cheap

    EDIT: just double checked my sources and it looks like it'll be between 20-30k, if so Im definitely looking into one.

    I thought the whole point was for Toyota to have a cheap FR car, like the AE86 that was accessable to poor teenagers and club racers who needed to allocate more money to the mods and wanted a cheap chassis in the 80s. Cheap was a requirement when making the "Toyobaru". YUeah 40k euros is like 55k American, I think you were thinking about the new Supra thing, no this was supposed to be around $20k American. SUCH a good idea. Low CG thanks to boxer engine, but light thanks to RWD instead of AWD.

    They featured it on Top Gear as well. The electronics are so advanced "you can't explain them".

    Well my friend. Welcome to the wonderful world of Japanese sports cars.
    Your own car is a prime example. The RX7, Supra and the Z were all Poor Mans Porsches. They were made to put the common feller, like you and me, into a car that could run with a Porsche. Enter that crazy electronic explosion era called the 1980's and the cars started to bloat out like a dead whale. The packed them full of gizmos and added the dollars to the stickers to reflects that.

    Continue to the late 80's and then the early 90's and the prices for them new had reached $40k. That spelled the end of them. Then after a renewed interest in them, they started to make em again.

    It's the same thing with this piece of crap. A Boxer Engined Toyota successor to the 86? Laugh. The boxer is a wonderful powerplant, but not in a Toyota vehicle that has such a lineage. Like I said, that would be like coming out with a successor to the RX-7 and filling it with a V6. Stupid.

    Completely agree.. but put these two thoughts into your head

    1. suby lovers are drooooooling over the idea of a suby powered 2DR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AGES!

    2. PEOPLE NEED TO SELL CARS!

    Very true. Buuuuuuuuuut.

    1. It's not a Suby...so Suby owners would not be Suby owners if they got it

    2. People need to sell ALOT of cars!!!!!!
