[fernan2]

One of the commenta from autoblog, they are all awesome!

you know your design/production process has problems when your prototypes need a mid-life facelift before they're even introduced.

You're going to watch that and not tell me they don't look like they have anything in common? Nevertheless its my opinion if you don't think they do then thats you get off my case.

The MKIII derived from the MKII so they are similar. I see the LED strip opening and the lower bumper flaring out like the Geneva one on this teaser vid. If you can see its different from either the MKII and MKIII.

I think you need to chill out a bit! You need a hug or something!

This car is like a unicorn mix with a dragon! There are stories of the car but no one has actually seen one!

It's also being called the Japanese Camaro on Autoblog. It will already seem dated by the time on goes on sale.

Toyota, if you're reading this, SHOW US THE DAMN CAR

Actually, what Toyota should do is what all forum people would hate... not show a lick of information until Tokyo Motor Show. People here keep complaining that they should reveal it, but it's a big mistake to do so when the car isn't being released for awhile.

They reveal too much too early, then people complain like they did with the Camaro. They reveal nothing, then people complain that Toyota's being too stingy. Can never please forum people.

That's the thing, they aren't revealing any information. We don't really know much at all about the car yet, but they keep teasing us with more and more concepts. If you aren't going to say anything about the car, then don't say anything about the car. The constant teasing and trying to build hype out of nothing is what's annoying.

[RRnold]

This is the first time in a while that Toyota keeps teasing the consumer.

I think it's a good strategy since it keeps all of us on our toes. They are building up to the hype and if they released specs this early, then what!?!

Releasing the official specs during the Tokyo unveiling is perfect timing.

If they don't release the specs, then some people would of already settled for another car.

If they do release the specs, then some people would of also already settled for another car.

So it's a Win-Win situation! This car has already peaked the interests of many, who cares about the +/- 5% who can't wait. Dec is just around the corner so if people can't wait untill then before deciding on their next or upcoming car purchase, that's their fault.

actually, if this car is not up to my expectations...

I may end up buying a bike and some gear instead.

DO IT!!! :happy0180: If someone is looking at getting a bike, I say "Hell yeah"

Meeting expectations are important but we have already heard a few key clues for the top 3 (price, weight and handling) being the main focus and met.

I'm on the flipside, already got the bike and gear, desperately in need of the new car :happy0180:

What is your expectations?

My expectations is that it'll look close to mk1 or mk2 concept.
But from the recent pictures..and how close we are...just seeing the "shape" of the test mule wasn't very much a turn on.

I want that look, and also the fun of an s2000.
and the interior....it's gotta look driver oriented.
