Eww, a higher profile with increased overhang. Just eww. Granted, we'll need to see how it officially comes out but damn, the concept was perfect. No need to change it.
|
Not over the moon about that, but it's still a long way from being finalised as that pic demonstrates.
Wait and see I think. |
Cant say im out, just very curious to how its going to look... I think im still in FTW!
|
Man if its as ugly as the picture im gonna pass for something else. :thumbdown::mad0259:
|
i prefer sharp edges over curved ones for an aggressive look.. but curves make a car look sexy... i have mixed feelings about this.. the original look already grew on me
|
:cry: I was going to write in another thread that i think the low ft86 nose would not make it into production -> because of pedestrian safety the noses of cars went higher and higher the last years. Hate that :thumbdown:
We will have to wait... |
That's disappointing, I thought the design by Toyota Europe Design Development was already 'production ready' but I guess not! Anyhow I can't wait for Calty's design! Especially since they were responsible for the design of the FT-HS (which kind of gave spawn to the FT-86 in a way) as well as others.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calty_Design_Research As for the picture, I don't think we need to get all hyped and ready to leave because we don't like the lines. If you think about, we don't even know if that picture was EVEN made by Calty or anyone from Toyota at all! If could be just a fan boy/girl who's good at Photoshopping! So please don't fight over a car that hasn't even been made for production yet (minus the FT-86 concept and G-sport concept that was made). |
the "carbon fiber" under the head lights make the car look like a panda bear
|
to be honest, the hood and front end just look too much like my wife's 2001 prius....great car, but not a head turner.....:barf:
|
say it ain't so!!!
that overhang would be the biggest turn-off to me compared to the Tokyo concept. |

Edit: Aww, come on hachiroku, I totally had a valid point going on that one post. |

Holiday Auto is a Japanese car mag that, much like Best Car Magazine, often reports made up rumors. However, these mags do get their scoops right every once in a while. i personally am not thrilled about the idea and hope they release it as close to the concept as possible.
ps: calty is also the studio that designed the last gen celica. their designs are hit and miss at best. |
