Toyota Furia Concept?

Hey, anyone have any more news on this car? Were there ever plans to build a sedan off of the GT-86 platform? If this car comes to market with actual carbon fiber on it, I will be jealous (cause the triplets deserve some CF love)

Seems like an Altezza successor

I got a call from Scion yesterday for a survey and they asked a lot of question about interior space, materials, and back seat room. I told them i would have been happy if it was a 2 seater but it sounds like market research for a 4 door version. With the success they are having you can't blame them, i would like to see a 5 door liftback model with 4 bucket seats and full length console or a 4 door "coupe" a la VW CC.

Is it possible that we will get a Scion/Toyota version of the new WRX since they are saying it will be more seperate from the Impreza it has been based off of?

I would like to see an attractive 4 door performance sedan come from Toyota, like someone said it probably is the Altezza replacement concept, because the timing makes sense!

I wouldn't mind Impreza/Scion crossover Twins. It would be better if they were Coupes but ey Altezza/Impreza sound the same

They need to use an original name. Mazda had the Furai First, and it's WAY MORE AWESOME!!!

Well I did have to look it up just to make sure since they are rediculously close.
