Kirk Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 The power is also quite disappointing. It was never designed with huge power in mind from the offset, it was designed to be simple, light and fun, not for lap times like all the cars of this day and age.

Dave Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 there are some cars that when you look at them you think yeah thats nice ,but that is butt ugly think the hyundai looks better. toyota epic FAIL boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 oh no ............... i think the design team needs put up against the wall and shot , why cant they ask a car owner/tuners forum, like ours, to contribute to the designing of their new sports car ? i think a few designers would lose their jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 True, really dissapointing, but thats what happens when all the executives get involved in the production process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Awful colour press pic but I don't think it's that bad. Will be nice and cheap too... and tuneable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Also, marvel at how it's isn't called Celica, and isn't the new Supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I think that 6 months from launch, there'll be a kit, OEM or aftermarket, to make it look more like the initial concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 oh no ............... i think the design team needs put up against the wall and shot , why cant they ask a car owner/tuners forum, like ours, to contribute to the designing of their new sports car ? i think a few designers would lose their jobs Because this is a forum for owners of cars that were on the drawing board twenty years ago. Having said that, it is one fugly car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Saw this car in the flesh today, it does not look good at all.. The lines are not as sleek as the concept at all.. Really botched up.. The wheels are too small, the pipes are too small, the interior is bland.. I can go on and on.. Disappointing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'd have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I like it. Not keen on the rear light clusters, and it isn't as nice as the concept, but they never are. I like the arches more though and it looks nice at the front generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Also, marvel at how it's isn't called Celica, and isn't the new Supra Isn't that because it is supposed to be joint work from Subaru & Toyota? The concept looks a lot better (doesn't it always), I'll reserve judgement till I see it in the flesh but so far it doesn't look too good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Did three different designers, with no communication between them, do the front, middle and back, or something? Gandini, Michelotto and Ghia eat your hearts out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Isn't that because it is supposed to be joint work from Subaru & Toyota? No, it's because it's based on the AE86. Subaru will be building its own version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I prefer the rear of the Subaru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 After reading this article and seeing it in different colours I think I've changed my mind. I like it, looks aggressive on track even if the wheels are a bit lost in the arches and a tad small. Can't wait for a drive of one http://speedhunters.com/archive/2011/11/27/new-car-gt-a-closer-look-at-the-toyota-86.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex2jz Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 It's got one positive aspect to it. It's not called Supra ... (Thank God) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Meh I dont think its that far off the concept TBH. The only things that I don't like are the wheels and the back lights but that's about it apart from that I think its a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige-rz Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 It really looks like a face lifted version of the Hyundai coupé. Such a shame aswell, it had all the makings of a fun, decent looking car, something I feel Toyota hasn't offered for a long long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Its not the worst car I've seen but the concept was better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
