I somewhat like this car but If I was going to buy one in 2020 when it's released I'd need Toyota to make sure it does a few things first.

1. Tone down that front end design. Not digging the pointy nose or alcove headlights. Make it a bit more understated and sleek like the LFA.

2. Please keep it simple. No hybrid system. All it needs to be is a relatively light RWD, with a 6 cylinder turbo and a 6 spd manual transmission. You can make a DCT option, but don't go the GTR and Ferrari route of dumping the manual altogether.

3. Make it affordable. This should cost about 2/3rds of what a GTR costs. The fact that Toyota doesn't even need to develop an engine should ensure that this isn't a car that is out of the reach of the average fellow.
