Not gonna lie. I kind of like those wheels.

It's like they are trying to market it more towards girls and hairdressers. I mean our cars attract girls, just ones with daddy issues.

Here are a few cars that are a bit different, and "that sucks" is the first thing out that same 75%. My magic eight ball says the FR-S is dead as far as Toyota is concerned. I can not begin to imagine how fucking ugly, expensive and useless the FR-S would be if Toyota built one to the hater's specs.

ETA: I'm positive there was/is another iteration of that front end, and it looked like it was right off a Jaguar or Maserati. Sexy thing. The haters probably like Rocket Bozo stuff, so they are already suspect.

I think you are giving a few very vocal complainers, that will never be happy with anything no matter what, too much credit.

You win, yours are all Toyota. I wonder what the Cb would look like with fender mirrors...

I mean the headlights aren't my favorite but the bumper is what kills it for me. I feel like with a better looking front fascia, it would all go together much better.

anyone find a good pic of the rear wing? I'd like to see it more clearly.

Thank's mod for moving it to the OP's thread.

So are they bringing hot lava back?

Datsun Z

Cadillac CTS

I could name a couple more but they were produced before most members of this forum were born,

I like the front end of the FR-S/GT86 as is but I can see the appeal of this one for some.

This is the Gazoo racing one from the other link but by the looks of it they are about the same with everything else. Looks a lot like the TRD wing to me.

That was only the special edition notice not the changes to the regular production car. We will probably see that sometime in the near future though.
