But it's designed by Gordon fucking Murray, you know, the guy behind the McLaren F1 and the Brabham "fan car". Based on this alone, I'll reserve judgment until I give it a go.

I'm very biased but my first thought was that if my MR2 had round taillights, that would be a zoomed in shot of the rear end with a spoiler on it. Please be RWD.

Anyway, my comments were not based on visual styling. I'm saying if anyone can make a "fun to drive" citicar ( if that is even Toyota's announcement), it is a 30+ year veteran formula one design engineer with a history of making world beating supercars. |

So if they're plying the Acronym game like they have been lately
RND could stand for something R-Rear N- D-Drive what could the N stand for? any other ideas?

If they took the T25, made it actually look attractive, and made it have speeds similar to a normal car (and not a smart car), it could actually be a really interesting vehicle... a small, light, fun urban RWD vehicle that is an alternative to motorcycles...... could be interesting, but only if they do it right.
