I've been aware of it from the very beginning. But it seemed way too far fetched for a company like Toyota to put out such a car. Then it went through some design revisions, and it seemed like the car would never come out. Then I saw the concept at the LA Auto Show last year. It was amazing. I wanted it more then any other car there, mainly because it was attainable. I was however, still hesitant about final build quality and feel.

I signed up for the First 86 program but unfortunately wasn't selected (right away, I was an alternate). I was bummed. I saw the production version at the NY Auto Show in April. My fears of a cheap interior or shoddy build quality went away. I absolutely fell in love with the design and its feel. I believe Dadhawk said it perfectly in another thread - you don't sit in this car, you wear it. From the moment I open the door to the moment I put the car cover back on her, I simply cannot wipe the smile off my face. I havent been this happy driving a car since the first night I went for a drive when I got my license.

So yes, I have fallen in love with this car.
