My JDM RHD 1994 WRX had JDM STI seats. Epic bolsters... NO movement in those and they felt awesome. A lot of my fat friends weren't fans though. Fuc-K-em, they need to loose weight.

One of my neighbours has the best bumper sticker on his lowered 240sx:

Is there a posibility of a dual clutch transmission???

haha, I used to have bride seats in my old car and my ex-gf complained they were a tight fit... That's when I started to reconsider my options lol

Also, FWIW, most cars sold outside the US that have dual zone climate control tend to lose it when they cross the border. My corolla has the regular rotary a/c controls, while the lower trim models across the pond have digital dual zone controls.

I doubt it will and am pretty sure the auto will be a conventional slushbox. Not even the LFA is dual clutch.

Nope... the lead engineer already killed that dream for some of you. He was pretty clear that the M6 version is the development platform and the auto is largely an afterthought.

Be a man. Buy a stick.

DO you guys think they took the pics of the car in the hyperzone/plane where there is only gray fields? No they took the pics in a studio then they clipped the car out and placed it on the backgroud for display purposes in the brochure. Similarly with the missing mirrors and blank spaces behind shifter etc. Those are detail shots/frames so they want the viewer to focus just on shifter/ interior/ exterior so they remove backdrops. Any designer knows these are simple job requirements for product displays.

Someone whole have to be quite bored to make a real car interior or shop a bunch of interiors together then lay them out in brochure then get it printed then take a crappy cell pic just to get a rise out of us

First off nice to see another islander here...secondly everyone here seen the shit load of chop spy photos andt what u call it. since u know so much about the presentation and editing process, if i where a company marketing a product i would give legit info/pics and what not especially if it something like an "official" brochure in which my product will be shown. So with that said im looking for the bullsit in all the photos its time we see some solid info and pics and thats what we are looking for in these pics.

I like the interior, it's simple and that's all you need. None of that useless electronics junks like bluetooth, 30gb hard drive, sat-nav, etc.

On the other hand, I'm a big on music/sound so I would like to know what kind of sound system do they have? It better not be Bose, they're all overpriced and they're made out of paper. I would be extremely happy if they have Harman Kardon, Infinity, Nakamichi etc (anything but Bose).

I look for two things when I buy cars, first is performance and second is sound.

Not big on modding factory sound system, since if it comes with a nice sound system then all I would need to do is to focus on the performance mods.

true but the problem here is obviously that its leaked so no official body to confirm anything outside of what our eyes show us.
Whats good here for someone with a trained eye is that the exterior photos minus the tacky lip kit give us a clear picture of most of the cars body lines and as I had suspected since i first saw test mules this car is very similar to the MK2 concept in terms of bodylines hood lines flairs etc just simpler nose and tail ends.

Its funny seeing the Modellista car looking so Tacky, I have seen a Modellista SXE10 altezza here In Barbados and its a beauty compared to other sxe10s. It also has the red trimmed interior which brings the altezzas interior to life.

Which Island are you from originally anyway?

It's technically not a leak of the actual car... exterior is lightly modded and touched-up (black windows and super-glazy paint?) so I see why Toyota let this one slide. I'm not FB friends with Moto Miwa but I saw the same pics posted on his wall (publicly visible). One of Moto's comments:

"Hehehehe... There are so many folks leaking things out now I actually saw this but Good Find!!"

Maybe this is what he saw MONTHS ago when meeting with Toyota officials? He hasn't said that anything looks off (plus chief engineer Tetsuya Tada "Liked" the pic on Moto's wall) so this leak is likely based on the production version.

The interior atmosphere is reminiscent of my old MR2 Spyder interior (function>form) which I'm all for, but I want steering wheel-mounted controls to enhance driver-centricity.
