Ok let the hating begin...





J/k it looks sick however... just my observation, and in no way do I mean to sound like its a bad thing.

It looks like a 350z, a G35, a lexus 430 sc, and a celica all got together had a huge orgy, and this is its love child.

Anyway, car looks sick, but I hate the spoiler.

The taillights alone are worth the purchase imo. This concept is EASILY the sexiest thing to come out of Toyota since the MKIV Supra.

The only logical step I can see SoJ taking (as well as Toyota), is to take the 2.0L DI H4 that Toyota and Subaru have created, and possibly at some point offer a higher trim level of the FT-86 production car that runs a 2.0L turbo. Considering the two worked so long developing the DI system and heads for a 2.0L H4 motor, it only makes sense from a business standpoint (for both manufacturers) to then offer a higher end trim of the 'Yota coupe and possibly the rumored Subie coupe, that runs a next-generation 2.0L DI Turbo motor with STi 6spd.

All I know, is that if Toyota brings a 2.0L DI H4 turbocharged motor with a Subaru-sourced 6spd in their upcoming coupe, and Subaru either does not make a coupe or does not make one and release it here with the 2.0L turbo motor, I am switching sides. I for one am tired of only getting a 2.5L option.

You can put me down for one of the first off the line Toyota, or you Subaru, if either of you plan to bring us a 2.0L turbo coupe.**





**Disclaimer: opinions and comments posted here are conditional, on the explicit expectation that Toyota or Subaru manage to release a 2dr coupe, RWD or AWD, that actually weighs in with a curb weight which is not to exceed 2,800lb wet (full tank of fuel and all other necessary fluids). Thereby managing to not completely **** up the opportunity to release a milestone product for the future of well-balanced sub-$30k sport coupes.
