Well thanks to those "smooth lines" which make the car ugly somehow to you, we get a beautiful car wit .27 coefficient drag which is behind other sporty (NOT) cars like the Toyota Prius,

Honda Insight

and GM EV1

The FR-S, GT-86 - Is the best looking car with that Drag Coefficient

I have zero disappointment in how this car turned out. Its EXACTLY what I expected.

It looks fantastic, it will handle fantastic, and it has the exact drivetrain I wanted.

My only "concern" at this point is the price...

Agreed...

I like the production version better than the MK1 concept as well. Just wish the tails were red instead of chrome. Easily taken care of, though.

The FR-S concept was over the top, and I liked it, but never expected that's what the final production vehicle would look like.

I didn't like the Mk1 concept at all compared the Mark 2 and mark 3. I also like the production car better.

To be honest I don't really care how the car looks, I care alot more about how it drives. I do think it looks good. It looks like all the classic sports cars from Japan with a modern touch, and the toyota looks like a toyota and the subaru looks like a subaru...still not sure how they pulled that off being so similar. I am very happy with what we have seen in pictures. Now just need to sit in and drive one.

As far as looks go, if the roofline and hoodline were lower it would be perfect IMO. I wonder how easy it will be to replace the bulging front fenders with something aftermarket, something lower?
