final thoughts for the night...
I am hoping this is just toyota-marketing throwing the FT-86 community a bone to chew on, to bide our time until the concept comes out. In other words: I hope toyota is just starting rumors to keep everyone buzzing so the following for this car doesn't lose it's momentum in the lull between the show last year and the reveal this year...I am crossing my fingers and holding my breath in hopes they haven't moved away from the Euro design....

I have faith that Toyota will make this car look like a sport car, no matter what design they use. ie: Its gonna look sporty. If you're already married to the current concept thats been floating around, then you're married to an image, and not the actual car itself (its performance, feel, etc.). The styling is something to think about, imo, but its no where near the important part. Yes, design is important for sales...but if design takes precedence over performance, than all we have is a shined up turd. I'm with Jordo on this one. Based on CALTY's FT-HS, if they take a fraction of that cars design and use it for the 86, then it'll look good. |

I fell in love with the design that debut at Tokyo. Not ready to throw in the towel based on the outline shown in this post yet. However what I see so far is the same ho-hum bullshit Toyota has been putting out since they killed the Supra. If this ends up being another cookie cutter carbon copy, i'll be looking for a Legacy Spec B

Gotta say it looks a lot more like a production design, if you know what I mean.
Like the previous design better but if it drives well I'll still get it. |

I definitely like the ED2 design better, would prefer that, but as a lot of ppl here are saying in a round about way, if this car performs as toyota says it will, I will buy it regardless of who designs it, only prefer they went with one design company's image over the other.
