Toyota's new flagship sports car

[Osiris_x11]

Uh-huh...sure!

(damn Todd, your QWIK)

door shot

Yea, "door shot"... right!?!

Speaking of which, is it a 3seat-cockpit ala' MclarenF1...? (the model in the middle looks familiar- haha psssh, sorrie)

The pics posted above by EndLeSS are infinitely better than the ones on the url in the beginning of this thread. Probable heir-apparent to the Supra legacy, or is this someother wunder-car for Toyota (ie. another entry into the 6figure $'s realm)...?

All it needs is a big fish hook hanging out of the grill/mouth.

nah. The HSC is more appealing than this Toyota concept car.

The Toyota looks a bit like a Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Definitely an improvement over the concept drawing. Looks like they stretched out the cabin, and shortened the front and rear ends. According to the specs above it's shorter than the NSX (169.3" vs 174.2") but wider (78.7" vs 71.3"). Not sure if that proportion is all that flattering, would have to see it in person to be able to tell.

It does kinda look like a cat fish.. Imagine 2 whiskers coming out underneath the front headlights.

I really can't see the catfish resemblance...the prototype SLR looked like a catfish, but not this. Then again they fixed the SLR, and it looks really attractive now.

Rear photo:

Yea, and the rear does need work, bigtime. It's not attractive, nor ergonomically pleasing at all.

Second rear shot

I think if they fixed up the rear to look more coupe-like, it would improve it both aerodynamically and ergonimically. And I still think it looks better than the HSC...the HSC isn't aggressive looking at all.

hmm, I'll post up the 2nd rear shot after work, I can't crop it here.

sorry i still have to go with HSC

 

[Tony Montoya]

Good-bye Honda, hello Toyota. Sorry it looks better, could be the three girls.

 

[demigod]

The rear looks horrid.

 

[MJK]

Front = snakehead
Rear = DeLorean

No thanks, I'll keep my NSX.

If forced to part with ~$100k, I could certainly find a better way.

2nd rear shot

and as for front and rear similarities to other cars, I could say the same about a good 80% of all the cars on the road.

 

[PHOEN$X]

I've seen worse, but those gill-like slits and dual side exhausts (which remind me of this freaky image) definitely have to go.

 

[Ojas]

Supra style, yo!

 

[PHOEN$X]

That's scary, Oja's photochopped version looks better than the real thing!
