I had been waiting for something to be announced about these forever. Figured it was as dead as the forum dedicated to it!

Somehow, the longer it takes for this car to get developed, the heavier it gets in my mind.

Focus groups, market analysis, trend surveys and other marketing tools tell the designers that is what the majority want. They just apparently always seem to talk to the wrong groups of people to determine who the majority is. How does it look "production ready"? There are about 10 different pictures (not counting renders) of the concept out there. They can make an empty shell or clay mockup look "production ready? but that doesn't mean it is even close.

I don't care for it either - makes the car look like a big catfish. Maybe the aftermarket could/would come up with a better looking bumper cover?

Or maybe the production car won't have it. If there ever is a production car that is.

I really enjoy the SF-R Racing Concept:
The giant "fish mouth" seems more at home with the other aero added to the car. Sadly i'll probably never own one.. at least its in GT Sport |

I'm gonna bump this again, just because I haven't given up hope... Maybe if Toyota sees that there's still positive chatter, they might reconsider...?
