FT-86 II concept > FR-S !!



........ I really dislike the Mk 3 model that they released at the NY auto show not too long ago.... I think the ft-86 II concept that they showed at geneva was by far sicker=(

Anyone with me on this?

+1 Curious as to why you like II compared to III

The MKIII has similar body lines to the MKII. The MKII had some really ugly styling cues that made it look cheap and overdone; side vents, spoiler, LED's, rear taillights, round exhaust tips.

I gotta agree with Ichi. MkIII was a much cleaner design. There was much less dress up, and the rear trunk area was a huge improvement. The mkII rear slopes down too much and the spoiler is hideous. I do like the mkII rear bumper better than the mkIII or even the mkI.

yeah good point ahaha... but the reason i like the mkII more is its looks alot more cleaner, on the mk3 it looks as if the front doesn't sit well with the rest of the car, the front wheel wells just override the whole front and doesn't look right to me, with the mk2 everything goes together really nicely ESPECIALLY the front... looks mean

I concur with this, but I love the MKIII body. The Scion's back is too blah.

ic, so if they raise the front hood & lower the fender, which looks nice?

I think, I have one with lowered fenders and other mods...

Anyone with me on this?

I'm with them on this the FR-S gets my vote more slick flows much better fenders w/o vents A+, MKII LED fog lights big NO to me & rear clear lights a big NO to me but if you like MKII thats your opinion no harm done not even production yet

So you're not really sure if the MK2 is far sicker? Well, everyone has different taste. I'll have to disagree with you.

The MKIII needs a better but. This thing needs a stock spoiler that doesn't look ricer-rific.
