Has to be the G's trim of the Toyota Mark X tho

Some sort of throwback, like what Nissan did with the Figaro, would certainly be a breath of fresh air. But for now, I think the closet thing we've got is:



I'd definitely like it if Toyota went with full circular headlights for the SF-R rather than a face looking like it wants to run you off the road

That Fiat one is a nice graphic. Would make a cool poster.
Although I disagree with them including the MX5 in here - the NC looked pretty friendly.

All Mazdas looked friendly with that big ass smiley face.

The Mini Cooper looks like a Kamen rider

To be honest, after having seen those cars side by side, I'm really starting to see that FR-S influence much more clearly now.

The Prius C has been a moderate success for Toyota, if not quite a stellar one.

Out of the 2.5 million vehicles (or 136k Prius-family models) it sold in America last year, the hybrid hatchback accounted for just over 20,000 – or a little more than half the number of comparably sized Yaris models it sold.

This down from the 35-40k Prius Cs it sold in previous years. If Toyota wants to attract more buyers with its smallest hybrid, it's going to need some help. And help has come in the form of a series of updates.

The revisions applied to the 2017 Toyota Prius C include some cosmetic updates – including a new front fascia, rear bumper, rocker panels, and rear spoiler (applied here to smooth the airflow more than providing downforce). Alloy wheels also come standard on all trim levels – measuring 15 inches as standard, with optional 16s. (The name of the game here is "low rolling resistance," after all, not traction.)

The bigger addition, however, is the fitment of the Toyota Safety Sense-C suite as standard. Previously optional on higher-grade models, TSS-C includes pre-collision and lane-departure systems as well as automatic high beams, all of which add up to a safer vehicle.

This is the second facelift Toyota has applied to the Prius C after the 2015 update and following its launch in 2012. The model, sold in much higher numbers as the Aqua in Japan, pairs a 1.5-liter inline-four to an electric motor, 0.9-kWh battery, and continuously variable transmission to deliver a combined 99 horsepower and an EPA estimated fuel economy of 48mpg city/43mpg highway/46mpg combined.

First pic scared me... Like the car was staring into the depths of my soul with its dead eyes.

I agree with the comments that specific manufacturers tend to follow a specific "design language"

I see similarities between pretty much all of the Toyota coupes and sedans. The only things that stick out are the RAV 4 and the other Scion models.
