I wasn't on the forum at the time but I had a few different configurations built in Gran Turismo 5 back in the day.

I liked the G Sport concept the most...

Looks like rx8, at least to me

A lot of ppl said Mk1.5 looked like Rx8. MkI issue was, it looked like FWD (Tada-san claims), MkII made it better & MkIII everyone was in love with lol

Wow i think I was only browsing the forums at the time the poll was up and had not registered.

They probably decided to keep most of those aggressive curves from the FT-86II for the FT-1.

The taillights certainly disappeared. I'm not complaining though, as far as I'm concerned, great booties all the way through design stages and through to the production model.

Their logic is that probably take larger design risks or departures for a car with limited production numbers I guess...

3. Hate waiting. There were several years of dark age (bout 1~1.5yrs) not getting any solid info vs other car with actual info. Mind as well buy those cars instead of waiting on no solid info, not sure Toyota even making car.
4. IRL. Life get in the way. New baby on the way. Bought the house. Bought new car. Etc
5. Banned. Being idiot & got banned.

These sums up why oldies left

I'm #4; bought a house first (just HAD to be responsible!) and my pay hasn't jumped as much as I had hoped afterwards. I lurk EVERY day though, mostly in Random Pictures for a good laugh while at work.

Desperately trying to find a way to fit a new twin into my budget though. I'm digging that oceanic color for the MY16.

Pretty sure I voted mk1 on the poll, to stay on topic.

Well might as well ask...

Why do they call them 'twins'?

Is it because there's a BRZ and an FRS?

I remember seeing the original concept at the Goodwood Festival of speed back in 2010. I said "Fuck this car" and am known around the local forums as "Fuck this car" guy whenever anyone ever posts about them, yet somehow I ended up with one.

No just anytime someone posted on Beyond.ca I would chime in with a simple "Fuck this car" and henceforth was known as that guy.

No idea how I ended up with one...
