Nice pics wings! This looks extremely MKII now, and I love it except for the tail lights. Fix it now Toyota!

Some extra bonnet lines draw per request. Sorry i tried, the hood, fenders, and front bumper are far different dimensionally and proportionately over the FT86II. Using my 3D program the body lines don't match up evenly FT86II vs Test Car.

It looks pretty close tho. I think the twin lines from the emblem should match with the roof lines, but this looks more detail already. Thanks Wow.

The front view has me thinking that it's a new-age Nissan NX.

Crap I just took a closer look at the back of the camo'ed car...
Production version BETTER NOT come out like that for the taillights, they had it really good for all 3 concepts. This is just downright fugly, someone said it looked like a Z4's lights, I think it's even worse than that.

Agree. From what I see here, it looks worse than Z4 taillight.

I have a feeling it's a Subaru. Subaru despises good looks altogether. This car looks to simple and doesn't scream sporty enough. I'm still hoping for a slight tone down version of the FR-S.

So what level of "sporty" are you expecting from a car priced around $23-25k? This is specifically in reference to exterior styling. What do you really expect? You realize it would never look like the FR-S concept, right?

Hey WoW, nice work, thanks for the effort. I suck at photoshop, but regardless, my eyes tell me you are a bit off on some of the lines, especially on the side.

Either way, this is quite the futile effort, because I'm pretty sure they've padded some areas as well to hide some of the details, especially the bonnet.

You make it seem like the FRS design is hard to accomplish on a 25k car. Design is all about shaping metal. The same metal on most cars. You just like simple looking coupes.

The concept made by 5axis wasn't cheap. Sure it is a one off and that lead to the high cost. However with more intricate details and designs on body panels, there is an increased degree of complexity in the design and production of those parts. That leads to increased costs. If it were that easy every Corolla, Civic, Yaris...etc. would look like $60k cars. But they don't. The FT-86 will look like a mid $20k sports car. It won't look like a $100k sports car. If you want the looks of the FR-S, there is always aftermarket and you can thrown on a body kit to your liking.

I'd like it to look at least as good as a Genesis Coupe... The current test car is too bland. Of course it's been over 10 years since Toyota made a good looking vehicle so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
