If that is the oil filter sticking out below, I forsee skid plates coming standard from the factory. I can just picture someone going too fast through a pothole or over a speedbump and tearing the filter off. Or running into the curb.

Do we know if this is supposed to be using the block from the new engine that subaru has developed, or is this going to be a dedicated thing?

I dont really care what the brand is, but it better be a good car at 25k since it's only direct competition, the 2.0T Genesis Coupe, starts at 22k and can be had with Brembos, 19s and an LSD for under 24k. And by the time this reaches American shores, the the Genesis Coupe will probably have a variant of the Sonanta's new 270hp 2.0T
So here's my prediction for this to make any sense at all: 2.0: 20-22k 2.0T: 25k |

Big wheels will have negative impact in performance and handling too.
I don't think Toyota will go above 17", hopefully option for 16" too for winter tyres...

Maybe a stripper track version @ $22k. Maybe. It's Toyota, you won't get it better than that. |

That's pretty nice how the exhaust and everything is painted black. I wonder if it will be like that in the production model?
and I wonder if they would sell me that concept model right now? |

That's when I plan on buying it. A year after it's been out. Got to see what road blocks and quirks happen with it in the first year, and what companies do with the platform. |

True. And even if 19"s are available, they'll be for some kind of sport package version, much like the Genesis Coupe's Track and R-Spec models. But I doubt Toyota will go that tall for production.

Most likely it'll get 17"s. They was a thread with a poll sometime aback.
