Just remember this is still just a prototype. Production version can change. Just wait until the end of the year before you decide.

It-is-a-CONCEPT.

Thats like playing the Alpha version of a game and going "nope, don't like it, terrible, won't be fun." You analyze what you like /dislike and go from there. This is by no means final.

Too early say, my friend. This isn't the final ver. It doesn't hurt to wait til Oct and see the final ver and decide right?

The reality is, none of this "stuff" on this car will make an iota of difference in the stock performance. Where are the windshield wipers??

Ok PJ. You have your opinion. I will beg to differ. Just don't write off Toyota so quickly.

Not a hater..just a realist. If those "vents" don't make it to production, are you not going buy it?? How much loss of performance do you think the car will lose?..at 200hp..

heh.

Oh I love Toyota. My '85 AE-86 was stupid fun. It wasn't fast. It wasn't too great to look at. Seats were nice. But it was a drivers car. Hope this iteration is as fun as the '85 was..even with all the pc crap we have to deal with nowdays.

Sorry for being cranky. (manopause)

Lol, and I was gonna say that youre making the same argument as saying "Oh my gosh, there are no windshield wipers, thats a deal breaker for me"

Bro. Its a concept. And your argument of aero dynamics being useless is completely invalid. Look at the prius's coefficient of drag . . . must have been by accident right?

Haters gonna hate. Lol.

And the resources are there, its Toyoda's pet project . . . Toyota is ballin right now.

From this image, it seems that no interior still this time.

I guess we can only see the interior in Tokyo.
