how a can i go back to the MK1 concept???

ok so i was thinking that after the NY auto show and the release of Scion concept, there is no way a can go back and settle for the MK1 or MK2 concepts. so toyota better keep the production version very, very close to the MK3 model, because if not i swear ill consider switching to the 2012 gen coupe turbo.

i know lots of you guys are going to hate on me, but this is serius stuff!

the scion version is perfect! so why would toyota go back and give us boring version and expect us to buy it?

With concept cars they only have to build maybe a handfull, so they can have sharp lines and crazy lights and wheels and ehxaust and interiors. When they go to production and are making thousands of cars I'm sure it keeps costs WAY down to simplify the design... Just the way it is but we'll see i guess

How can you guys think the mkI is boring? A year ago everyone was drooling over its aggressive lines. But now that the hot wheels looking cars have been displayed, mkI is boring?

well, not boring, boring! but, its not a fun fest either. you get what im saying, plus lots of things have chage in a year! and we all know that the 2012 GC is going to get remodel and more power for about the same price of the FR-S. SO IM JUST SAYING THAT TOYOTA BETTER GET IT RIGHT with this car.

plus today i paid 4.04$ for a galon of regular fuel, and im hating the world right now.

I can go back to the mk1, very easily, its still my overall favorite in terms of production styling.

If you MUST have the mk3 bit for bit as the production car you might as well just go look for something else. That's not happening.

I personally don't mind... but you know Toyota is going to take a shit ton of flack for doing that, and the car isn't going to be as well received at it should be.

So far I've liked every new version better than the last.

More like:

"If this car doesn't have 300WHP and rumble like thunder and is a Toyota I'm getting a Supra"

Although "300WHP", "rumble like thunder", "Toyota", and "Supra" could be replaced with anything that fits.

yea, i mean i just feel it makes whoever writes something that like look stupid. i was just on the playstation blog and same stuff was going on over there, with stupid rants like this "if playstation doesn't go back online by today im switching to xbox and never coming back to sony hurr duuuuuuuur". i feel like im surrounded by kids half the time on this forum. man(or woman) the fuck up and deal with whatever toyota comes out with because it is their car. and if you dont like it simply stop coming to the forum or just stop posting unecessary crap
