Isn't that the mistake Toyota made with Gen7 Celica? Make it look great/fast but put an underwhelming engine in it. Most people saw past that and is a reason it didn't sell well. You will have buyers that want the hp/tq numbers. You will have buyers that only want the looks. Then you have those of us that would like a mix of both. I'm not sure Toyota/Scion can base this completely off of looks only. Remember the FR-S Mk3 model shown is just a prototype so the production version is bound to look different. I hope Toyota takes care of the exterior/interior as well as the engine (as it seems they are doing).
