Interior could change. This could just be a very early prototype.

Idk, as posted on the 1st page the side screaming Supra.

I'll reverse judgment until the production car is unveiled.

If the production car is unveiled. Still a long way from production, if ever. A mule is another step in the right direction though.

i actually prefer the test mule to the actual production of this Lexus

Geez, people already tearing this car apart for aesthetics when it's just a mule...


This thing will get torn apart online if it's not 100% perfect. Hopefully Toyota realizes this. Reception to the new NSX was lukewarm at best.

And it looks remarkably like the 86. Talk amongst yourselves:

The tear drop, angular tails of the concept, the active wing, it looks like they took the concept, cheapened it up, and miniaturized it. Obviously it is just a test car, so hopefully there are lots of changes before launch.

If you look closely at the taillights, it actualy looks like those lights are stuck on over a 86-esque taillight on the inside of the camo. I think the lights are just stuck on for road legality. Same with the front lights and bumper.

Not sure how it's the wrong subforum when discussing design similarities to the 86. But whatever makes you feel good.

Nah Fish similarities still put it in the Other Vehicles category.

Besides the camoed car looks like about 100 others anyway. There will be some similarities with any coupe.

There are clear design cues in the profile (even on the heavily camouflaged mule) shared with the 86 (and obviously the Mark IV Supra).

But no skin off my back if the thread is moved.

Yep certainly some lines similar to the 86 there. Also some lines like Porsche, Jag, BMW, Nisson, and just about any coupe.

There are only so many shapes to be used really.

I know I sound like a broken record, but seriously guys, the idea that the MKIV was a "JDM Muscle Car" is dead wrong. They're beautifully balanced chassis and very involving to drive. Just because 2Js can make power, doesn't mean that's all the Supra is good for. I'm sure the MKV will be the same. /rant

Anyways.... Hopefully this is the beginning of some more concrete news going forward. @ichitaka05 needs to poke and prod his Toyota friends a little more till we get something juicy.
