The design is not that good as you said. Anyway, it's personal preference. It's useless to argue over something like this.

@CyberFormula: Those are two extreme sport cars. I'm talking about regular one.

I like the gen coupe but the front bumper and headlights could be much better imo....

The point of the seats would be the intended use and the comfort level at the track. Not to mention, toyota could strike a deal with them, as buying in bulk is always cheaper. That could bring the prices down significantly.

One thing I'd like to mention, this is starting to look more like a lexus ever time I glance at it . . .

There's a new photoshop someone was nice enough to make that overlays the FT-86 II with the 370Z -- very, very similar. Greatest divergence is in the height of the hood line.

This will be quite a bit like a sleeker, leaner 370Z methinks.

Now if either TMC or FHI will just offer one with a turbo...

Don't like led daylight position, should move it to new position may be in the headlamp and keep design clean.

I think the new Toyota "whatchamacallit" will be like a modern take on the 70's 240zx/fairlady....small, lightweight...nimble and fun to drive...

II by a long shot. I was pretty disappointed with the first version actually, I thought it was ugly; too sharp and and boxy. The new version looks awesome though. The roofline changed a bit and now it look 100x smoother. It's giving me a hard on, is what I'm saying.

now that Im playing GT5 more often i can see the argument of the older members here, wanting the MKI it is really much cleaner and the back lights and back is much nicer. BUt still MkII has my benefit of the doubt. Can't wait to see MKIII and Subie.

Let Toyota carryon with the MKII concept and give Subaru the MKI concept to use as is. Everyones a winner.

What toyota needs to do is release mki for the first year or two with a NA 2.0 20 valve (yes 20) then release the mk2 with a turbo 16 valve wrx motor later for those that want that ugly thing lol.... wouldn't that be awesome?
